As one of millions of Americans without medical health plans, I'm keeping track of the health reform legislation signed into law by President Obama. But with the Republicans and Big Insurance blocking it wherever they're able, though the legislation continues to jump through the hoops it must jump through, I have to admit I've become discouraged.
Will medical health plans ever be within my reach? I'm like a gospel singer, crooning, "How long will be too long?"
I read this Q&A on the White House website today:
Q: Can I afford coverage? A: Clearly, the system we have today is broken. If you don’t have health coverage, there’s no limit on how much insurance companies can charge you, and they can decide to refuse to sell you a policy at their whim. Health insurance reform will change all of that. For the first time in history, there will be limits on how much anyone will have to pay to receive health care coverage. And depending upon your income, you may be among the tens of millions of Americans who will get a tax credit to to help pay for your coverage. And for the first time in history, insurance companies will no longer be allowed to simply tell you “no”. They will be required to offer coverage regardless of your health status, and they cannot jack up rates or drop you from your coverage when you get sick.
Well, that's something. But it's not free universal health care. I feel like it's time for me to face reality and try to find the care I need now.
Before I discovered Quality Health, I didn't know that discount medical health plans existed. The White House might want to note it in their Q&A--something you can actually take advantage of now.
