Health Care Reform - Yes We Did

Thousands of our calls, letters, emails, and visits to DC have made the difference, and now President Obama has signed health care reform into law.

As of today our families already have a better health care system:

• Insurance companies will no longer be allowed to deny care to patients with pre-existing illnesses in 2014. This prohibition will begin for children within the next six months.

• Lifetime caps on health coverage will be eliminated.

• Preventive health care services will be covered for public and private insurance.

• Parents will be able to keep dependents on their insurance policies through age 26.

• The gap in Medicare drug coverage (the doughnut hole) will be closed for seniors during 2010.

Finally, we have control over our health care.
