re: #106 iceweasel

Reine (and others too)— here’s politifact from Feb 26, again with the differences between the Senate and Obama proposals. It’s a longer explanation and not in handy chart format, but it’s still pretty concise and useful:

Health care reform: A simple explanation, updated

OK, here’s something I don’t get from the article - the Senate plan bans catastrophic coverage policies:

Under the Democratic plan, people won’t be able to buy high-deductible, catastrophic plans that only kick in for major medical expenses. Insurers would have to cover preventive care, and they wouldn’t be able to cut off coverage unfairly or set annual limits on benefits.

This is precisely why I’m saying the democrat plans reach too far. These catastrophic policies are very useful, I had one myself a few years ago.
