Check out Consumers can't wait any longer for health reform:

So let me identify the key benefits consumers would get from health-reform legislation passed to date:

  • No company could deny you health insurance for a pre-existing condition, or drop your coverage if you get sick.
  • Insurance companies wouldn't be able to cap the amount of care you may need for a serious illness, or stop paying your claims and leave you with devastating medical bills.
  • All your recommended preventive care would be completely covered without any deductibles - colonoscopies, mammograms, etc.
  • If you buy on your own, you would get the same choice of coverage that members of Congress get.
  • If you have decent coverage now through your job, you keep it. But if your employer drops your health insurance, or makes you pay more than 8 percent of your income on your premium, you could get help to buy your own policy in an insurance "shopping mall," or "exchange."
  • If you hit a rough financial patch-a layoff or dramatic drop in your income-you could get help to buy your own policy through tax credits. The less money you have coming in, the cheaper the policy.
  • Kids could stay on their parents' policies until they turned 26.
  • Small businesses would get tax credits for up to 50 percent of their cost of providing coverage to their workers.
