8 Steps to a Healthy America!

Yesterday Wed, 7-29-09 President Obama was in Raleigh, North Carolina at their town hall meeting discussing the Health Care Reform Act.  He outlined and emphasized  8 Steps to consumer protection in the insurance arena.

I find this very interesting and enlightening. I especially like the pre-exsisting clause. That one always mad me just so irritated to know that most insurance companies discriminated against those that had health conditions before they were insured with a new insurance company. I always felt that was just so wrong.  Only to realize that this was something that was by choice so that the insurance company wouldn’t have to put out more than it takes in. I understand the  business model of it all but there is more than one way to achieve this. It takes creative thinking and now they have no choice if the Act passes the Senate.

Which looks like it won’t be re-addressed until September due to the Senate taking August recess.  Okay I have to say it time for play time, lol!

The extended coverage for youths adults is a great comfort zone for parents with dependents. The Auto Renewal isn’t bad either. So far on the surface these are admirable protections for the consumer.

As I posted previously the idea of the consumer being in more control (an Insurance Exchange) over their health insurance decisions is what Americans want. This really made me perk up. Who doesn’t like being in control of themselves?

I suppose we are in continuous wait mode for the Senate after their recess time, lol! Continue to contact your Senators and let them know just how important the Act is to you and your family. We can tweak an act soon to be a law and not as hard and trying to amend the Constitution of the United States.

Here’s hoping and praying for a healthier nation!
