An amazing American legislative victory over this March 2010 weekend has earned a circle on every person’s calendar. Although it’s not officially law yet, an enormous step towards universal health care has been achieved. The House has officially passed the Health Care Reform. This piece of social legislation has been a newsworthy debate by every individual who has held title of American President since 1960 when the Great Society saw the passing of Medicare and Medicaid. Universal health care coverage is the goal. The house voted 219 – 212 in favour of an overhaul of the health care system being signed into law. The Democrats passed this bill without one single Republican vote.
The second bill that passed by the House on March 21 will be the bill to make adjustments to the current legislation such as lowering the taxes on high-value insurance plans and removing kickbacks like budget reconciliations. However, President Obama made a promise to continue with the consistency of some existing Federal laws of the Hyde Agreement that has been in place since 1976.
The goal of this new bill is to make the practice of medicine and health care providers more efficient. They would be rewarded on how well they treat patients instead of the current method of how much care they provide to individual patients. The bill would also make available health coverage to approximately 32 million legal Americans, increasing the number to 95% coverage from the current 83%.
Even in Canada where Medicare has existed in one form or another since 1968, you can fall victim to debt resulting in bad credit due to medical bills from a rejected insurance claim, for items not covered by Medicare. If you are in such a predicament, a private loan could assist with the consolidation of debt as well as to help rebuild bad credit as these financial institutions understand such situations and specialize in bad credit loans.
Albeit in the United States or in Canada, like any newly implemented law, it will take time to see positive results. During the first few years, most people will notice only minor changes. If you fall into the category of denied insurance or denied insurance claims due to pre-existing conditions, the good news is that the immediate changes are severe and are directed at those insurance company’s policies. The practice of denying coverage to children with pre-existing conditions and dependent children under the age of 26 who cannot otherwise get healthcare, will allow them to remain covered under their parent’s policies. As well, adults with pre-existing conditions will be allowed to buy coverage with high-risk companies, an option that is not available now.

My buddy informed me about codmw2freedl|Y|com (replace |Y| with . ) , which is exactly where he got his working copy from. It reallyworks with steam, and has the new map pack on it. Take a look!
@ShowdownBlamBlam Don’t feed the troll. Bigbad is clearly out of it. Ignore him. Small minded ones like him just get bored and move on.
@Martial024 And they will through taxes! What about people who are turned down for health insurance, for pre existing conditions, and in some cases, these people never had the condition, but somebody in there family did. Do they deserve healthcare?
@darrenhol Danny Williams is all the evidence anyone needs to blow your stories out of the water. I spoke to a guy in NYC whose parents live in Toronto and he travels to canada just to fight with his parents doctors to get them treatment for diabetes. He flew both his parents to NYC and took them to nyu for full physicals and to adjust their medication. Never has an American been sent to Canukville to see a doctor. keep making stuff up, I’ll show you the facts, U R 2 EZ
@darrenhol Don’t feed the troll known as Bigbad. He’s full of ancedotal stories, and seems to know a lot of people “who parents live in Canada”. The facts are, he has no facts. Ignore him. He will go away.
@ShowdownBlamBlam If your students were so smart then why do they allow a gov’t to make them wait on list for medical care? Why don’t they see that a politician that forces you to use a horrible system himself comes to the USA for the superior health care ?? WTF do you mean donation ?? Rich people make donations in Canada to get better health care ? In the USA a bus driver has the same care as Bill Gates because insurance makes everyone equal.
@Martial024 Your already force to pay for things you don’t want! Do you agree with every tax dollar that is spent by the government. Look at all the citizens who do not afree with the Iraq war! They still have to pay for that war crime that your government is involved in!
The US population is way larger; in addition, Canada has much stricter immigration policies than the US.
@bigbad169 wow asshole, shut up. Canadian school systems ARE superior to American, that’s why your high school graduates are TWO YEARS behind ours, why our students know something about history and geography and yours don’t.
The only problem with our health care system is the wait lists and we don’t have all the funding that you guys do. The system is supported by tax dollars and government supplementation not rich people making generous ‘donations’ for their own means.
