Florida: Don't Sue Over Health Care Reform
- van: Care2.com
- ontvanger: Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum
Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum said that the new health care reform legislation "infringes on each states sovereignty." Florida is suing the federal government, "to protect the rights and interests of American citizens."
But the new health care policy will give around 32 million more Americans much-needed coverage, and
make our country safer and healthier for individuals and families.
Benefits of U.S. health care reform include:
* ending discrimination against people who previously struggled to get health care, like children with
pre-existing conditions
* expanding Medicaid and offering cost-sharing credits to help low and moderate-income people and
families
* limiting the insurer's ability to charge higher premiums to people as they age
Under the previous health care policy, millions of people were shut out and unable to buy health insurance, leaving them financially vulnerable if sickness struck. Under the previous policy, people were at the mercy of health insurance companies. Now, the power is in our hands. Tell Attorney General McCollum not to sue over health care reform.
