Health Care Bill

Hooray! It passed! That means the pool of the insured will increase and the premiums will....slow down in their increases. My kids don't need to worry about their kids being insured when they go to college all the way to the age of 26.

The accursed coverage gap "doughnut hole" for medicare prescription drugs will shrink and close. This year my wife and I will receive $250 each as a rebate for the doughnut hole. In the following years the gap will close even more.

Almost everybody by 2014 will pay their medical bills, which should mean the costs will be shared instead of being passed on to those who had insurance and therefore had to help pay for those who were not denied care, even though they could not pay for it.

It seems a lot more fair to me that everybody pays their medical bills instead of just some. I have no problem with health insurance being mandated.
