The Final March for Reform

Comments 11 March 2010

Thanks to everyone who volunteered, helped or attended last night’s events with President Obama and Senator McCaskill.   It is always an honor to have the President in our town and last night was no exception.  Last night reminded us again how fortunate we are to have a strong committed leader.  The President explained some of the key benefits of his Health Insurance Reform Proposal to a packed room of supporters

As Claire and the President both said – this is about the next generation, not the next election.  We need to continue to fight for Health Insurance Reform and to help I’ve included some of the key benefits of the President’s Health Insurance Reform Proposal below.

  • It will strengthen the coverage you get at work by reining in the worst insurance company abuses.
  • It will provide tens of billions of dollars in new tax credits to small businesses to make it easier for them to provide coverage if they choose to do so.
  • Many Americans buying their own coverage in the individual market will qualify for tax credits that reduce their premiums by an average of nearly 60 percent – and they will get better coverage than what they have today.
  • If you are on Medicare, you will have benefits you don’t have today: Preventive services like cancer screenings at no cost, and a substantial reduction in prescription drug prices if you fall into that gap in coverage known as the “donut hole.” Over time the proposal closes this coverage gap completely.
  • If you don’t have insurance, you may be eligible for a tax credit to help pay for your coverage – part of the largest middle class tax cut for health care in history.
  • Insurance companies will be required to offer coverage regardless of your health status or because of pre-existing conditions, and they cannot boost rates or drop you from your coverage when you get sick.
  • If you are a parent, you can keep your children on your insurance plan until the age of 27 (the current limit is age 21).

Again, thank you for making last night a memorable one.  And let’s get to work!

Sincerely,
Brian Wahby
Chairman
