This bill does not change much for anyone except people who can’t get health insurance because of pre-existing conditions — but that is millions of Americans. Never again will insurance companies be able to deny coverage because of a pre-existing condtion. Never again will insurance companies be able to cancel your policy just when you most need it. It is impossible to overstate the impact of these changes on those affected; many lives will be saved. For this reason alone this bill deserves our support despite the fact that it solves none of the many other problems of America’s health care system.
