I dont really understand this... I've heard the following reported:
USD940 billion plan (presumably that is the cost, which seems a lot)
Healthcare extended to 24 million people who currently have none (how do they do that? Extend what exactly?)
Healthcare extended to 32 million people who currently have none (conflicting number)
Will create a reduction in the budget defecit of USD138 billion (how?)
Health insurers will not ba able to decline cover for pre-existing conditions (i.e if you are sick and need to pay, you just go and grab some insurance first as it cant be declined)
Im not seeing a "reform of the system", just an extension of existing practices, plus that new legal obligation on the part of the insurers.
I cant help but think Sarah Palin would have had the answers.
