Now I have never been one to follow politics in any way. I have no clue whether I am Republican or Democrat, mostly because I just really don't have any interest in the subject, and I only recently learned the difference between the two in Government (that doesn't mean that I still know what the difference is though). When I heard about Obama's health care plan I was not sure what all that would affect. Even after a few minutes of looking, there are no short summaries of what all is contained within the bill. However, I will try to inform you on some of the main or even lesser known topics disscussed within the bill.
One small perk of the new plan is that any dependant can stay on their parent or guardian's plan until they reach the age of 26. Any employer with more than 50 employees must provide coverage for its workers. The new health care plan will have a cheaper public option that will allow insurees to have most all of the same rights and privelages as with the private companies. People with preexisting conditions were often turned away by insurance companies but now the insurance companies are not allowed to deny coverage for such issues. Also, the insurance companies are not allowed to trade, drop, or fiddle around with a person's coverage simply for their health. There are too many to fit into this one blog so wait around for part 2...

There is so much of a stir on whether you are a Democrat of a Republican. Why should people have to choose between one or the other, especially when it is hard to agree with every issue on either side. My mom is a registered Republican, and her best friend of 10 years doesn't know because she's an adamant Democrat. I think its crazy that people find this small step of politics to be so important, when really, Dems and Reps should be working together under the category of Americans.
