Well, we finally got this aenemic health care program started, children will have to wait 6 months before they will not be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions and they can stay on their parents policy until they turn 26 years old. After Sept. 2010, adults will not be kicked off their insurance plan if they should get sick. In nine years, the year 2019, 32 million people will have health insurance coverage. Whoopee!! That is if the conservative Republicans in Congress, don't get to shoot the whole program down. Believe me, they will if they ever get control of Congress again.
Could someone please tell me why the people on the Part D Medicare Drug program have to keep on paying their premiums, after they and the insurance companies have spent
$2,830, and then are in the insurance (donut hole) gap, when the insurance companies drop out of the enture program and pay no more benefits? But those wonderful CEO's will still be making their billion dollar salaries.
If this is fair, then I'm a freakin' fairy !
This bill was a bad bill and will make for interesting law. The biggest problem with it is that few of the changes take effect immediately. And the changes that eventually do take effect, are smaller than they needed to be. there are not many cost controls built into this system and in some instances such as the Medicare "cost control panel?" they are bound not to reduce services in any way.
