On March 8th, 2010 President Obama spoke at Arcadia University in Pennsylvania on the subject of health care reform. He made several great points like:
folks in Washington DC are obsessed with the sport of politics...... But out here, and all across America, folks are worried about bigger things. .....You want people in Washington to spend a little less time worrying about our jobs, a little more time worrying about your jobs.
he also told his audience how the health care reform he is proposing would change three things about the current health care system.
First, it would end the worst practices of insurance companies. Within the first year of signing health care reform, thousands of uninsured Americans with preexisting conditions would suddenly be able to purchase health insurance for the very first time in their lives, or the first time in a long time.
This year, insurance companies will be banned forever from denying coverage to children with preexisting conditions.
This year, they will be banned from dropping your coverage when you get sick.
And they will no longer be able to arbitrarily and massively hike your premiums ......
