For the righties... which of these things do you not like?

Provisions of the health care overhaul that will take place in 2010:

90 days after enactment - Provide immediate access to high-risk pools for
people with no insurance because of pre-existing conditions.
180 days after enactment - Bar insurers from denying people coverage when
they get sick.
180 days after enactment - Bar insurers from denying coverage to children
with pre-existing conditions.
180 days after enactment - Bar insurers from imposing lifetime caps on
coverage.
180 days after enactment - Require insurers to allow people to stay on
their parents' policies until they turn 26.
this year - Provide a $250 rebade to Medicare prescription drug
beneficiaries whose initial benefits have run out.

There is already access to high risk pools. The costs are 3 times or more
than for everybody else though.


"States are not required to have an alternative option for medically
uninsurable individuals to access coverage, but most do." Now, there's a
guarantee. Cost wouldn't be an issue if there was a public option or *gasp*
single payer. Everyone's cost would be lower.
