April 7, 2010 on 3:37 am | In quotes | Comments Off

As of late, there have been a lot of heated discussions and talk about who the health care reform will help, and how it will effect Americans. Although many are opposed to this health care reform, the true is that this plan will help many Americans who are currently trying to survive each day without any health care coverage.

First off, the plan will assist those in low income households who are unable to afford health coverage for themselves or their families. These are not those individuals that the government is currently helping, they are the group of Americans that are parents of the low income children that Medicaid covers and pregnant women.

Another group that will be assisted with the new health plan are college and high school students. The new plan allows for these individuals to remain under the medical coverage of their parents until the age of 26. This will allow these individuals to get themselves situated in life before having to not only pay back their student loans and find employment, but also pay for medical coverage.

Then there are the individuals that have a pre-existing condition. With the new health plan, insurance companies will not be allowed to turn anyone away based on their medical history. It has become a large problem, to date, when individuals loss their jobs and are finding it difficult to find new medical insurance because of a pre existing health condition. Although this will not officially take effect until 2014 it is a light at the end of the tunnel for these Americans.

While this plan has a lot of faults as well as benefits it is important to look at who will be helped by such a health care plan. Just because some of us are lucky enough to have health insurance coverage it is important to remember that it is very easy to become one of those with a serious health issue or loss of employment that could leave anyone of us struggling to find health insurance coverage.
