I know, I know. People are against it and people are for it. I see points on both sides, but in order to accentuate the positive, here are a list of immediate BENEFITS to the health care reform bill:
*Prohibit pre-existing condition exclusions for children in all new plans
*Provide immediate access to insurance for uninsured Americans who are uninsured because of a pre-existing condition through a temporary high-risk pool
*Prohibit dropping people from coverage when they get sick in all individual plans
*Lower seniors prescription drug prices by beginning to close the donut hole
*Offer tax credits to small businesses to purchase coverage
*Eliminate lifetime limits and restrictive annual limits on benefits in all plans
*Require plans to cover an enrollee's dependent children until age 26
*Require new plans to cover preventive services and immunizations without cost-sharing
*Ensure consumers have access to an effective internal and external appeals process to appeal new insurance plan decisions
*Require premium rebates to enrollees from insurers with high administrative expenditures and require public disclosure of the percent of premiums applied to overhead costs
