Interesting how fewer Americans will be insured with this new plan than without. Please make your voices heard....health insurance should not be a privilege for only the well to do.

In Case You Missed It The Senate voted 51 to 48: 1. To end coverage for preexisting conditions, some veterans benefits, and aid to rural hospitals. 2. To remove discrimination protection for women in healthcare.... 3. Against the provision allowing children to remain on their parent's insurance till the age of 26. 4. To cut off funding for the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP). 5. Against ACA contraceptive coverage and maternity care provision. 6. To direct committees to send budget legislation to defund and repeal the Affordable Care Act. For those who get health insurance through work, no pre-existing conditions. Lifetime caps for coverage are back for everyone. Real actions are being taken that will affect more than just the 20-30 million people who will lose their health care coverage and the 3 million people who will lose their jobs. Despite their assertions of this being an action to "repeal and replace," no viable alternative plan has been proposed. The House votes Friday. As of this moment, no replacement exists.

Those who know me know that I always preach treating the root cause of a problem, rather than the symptoms. Interesting how much stress and inflammation can do to cause common ailments.
