Happy New Year!! Here is my first blogpost in 2010..

This post will be about the new health reform in the U.S.

I watched a video of Obama where I spoke about the new health reform plan, and I was asked from my teacher to write about it here on my blog. Obama starts his speech with making it clear that if you already have health insurance, and you’re happy with it, no one will make you change it. Under this new plan it will be against the law for an insurance company to deny you coverage because of a preexisting condition. It will also be against the law for insurance companies to drop you’re coverage because you get sick or water it down when you need it the most. They will no longer be able to place some arbitrary cab on the amount of coverage you can receive in a given year or in a lifetime. He also says that no one should go broke because they get sick, and something needs to be done. Insurance companies will also be required coverage for preventive care. These are only a few of the main points he covers in his speech about the new heath reform. I believe Obama has understood the importance of a safe health system, and the changes he does can make a great difference in the American society.
