I'm thankful for ...

… the Health Care Reform Bill passed by Congress and signed by President Obama. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Insurance companies can no longer deny insurance coverage because of a pre-existing condition. That's ME!
2. Up to 29 million individuals will receive TAX CREDITS to help pay for health insurance.3. Up to 3.5 million small businesses will receive TAX CUTS to help pay for employee health care coverage.
4. Prescription drug costs for medicare recipients have been CUT 50% That's ME!
4. Medicaid has been expanded to cover all individuals under age 65 with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level (Who qualifies? A family of 4 with an income below $29, 326 or less is now eligible for Medicaid).
6. Health insurance providers now have to disclose how much of your premium actually goes to your health care (not for advertising, not for administrative costs, not for bloated CEO salaries, … just for patient health care).

Republicans are touting their nutty idea to repeal the Health Care Reform Bill. If you agree with that lunatic idea you're nuts too.
