Healthcare in the US

Knock on wood, the only thing we've had denied on our current state health insurance was a prescription strength amount of Vitamin D (which I could have appealed but just coughed up for OTC instead) and Retin A for my skin.

I support Obama's health care plans in principal, but I do worry about how things will actually pan out in reality.

I agree, but (for right now) the current law is the only way my daughter has health insurance.  No way could she pay for private, individual coverage, and she qualifies for nothing else where we live.

I think more protection will be built off of the original plan.

Hopefully there will be.  They do need to take out the part which follows MA where anyone who doesn't have insurance is penalized for it and I think they should definitely keep that the insurance companies can't drop you or deny coverage because there is an illness (long or short term) which they don't want to pay for.
