The President's Health Care Proposal

 

For those who may not have already seen President Obama's proposal, I am providing the following link:

If one scrolls down the page a bit, one can download a PDF summary of the President's proposal. 

Of particular interests to me, the President proposes:

Improving insurance protections for consumers and creating a new Health Insurance Rate Authority to provide Federal assistance and oversight to States in conducting reviews of unreasonable rate increases and other unfair practices of insurance plans.

This proposal along with the regulatory reforms outlined in the current House Health Care Reform Bill H.R. 3962, will do much to reform the current way health insurers do business. 

For more discussion and information, I am also providing this link:

If one has the free time and inclination, I recommend another trip to www.thomas.gov.  Very interesting legislative efforts afoot in D.C.
