Thanks.

re: #142 Slumbering Behemoth

These are the really huge ones in terms of immediate benefit:

Six months after enactment

— Bars insurers from denying people coverage when they get sick.

— Bars insurers from denying coverage to children who have preexisting conditions.

— Bars insurers from imposing lifetime caps on coverage.

— Requires insurers to allow young people to stay on their parents’ policies until age 26.

those are going to have extensive impact on people’s lives, for the better, essentially immediately.

Anyway, Obama outlined all this in a speech the week of the healthcare vote. I posted it several times.
