Be Informed.....Heath Care Reform

Health care is extremely complex.....and my profession. The proposal will provide us with a LOT more personal choices than we have today! As well as some of the highlights below....

* Stronger research and reportability on health outcomes will leave us better informed for our future health care decisions and with a higher level of quality care.
* No more caps on drug coverages to seniors
* Public health insurance for those that currently don't have insurance
* Public health insurance will lower competing private insurors costs
* Promotion of preventative care (regular exams, mammo's, etc..at no cost) = healthier life!!!!!
* No more denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions
* No more loss of insurance due to loss of job
* No more personal bankruptcy because of medical bills
* Electronic Medical Records (MY FAVORITE) to allow health care providers access to your history and provide better care. AND to allow the continuum of care where ever you are for YOUR benefit!!!!

Stay informed before you conclude to any judgement upon a reform that is designed to 'better' our economy. This one will touch every single American.....and also those that reside in America!!!

A good summary (but not the only one! Do your research) of the Affordable Heatlh Choices Act that is causing such a heated debate....http://www.stark.house.gov/images/stories/111/legislation/AAHCA/aahca-sectionbysection-071409.pdf
