Can someone tell me what the new health care legislation in the US means?

in brief? does that mean the poorest person, the homeless people will also have health care coverage now? Is it like universal health care coverage in places like Canada or the UK? If not, what is it?Can someone tell me what the new health care legislation in the US means?It is not like the system in Canada and the UK. All in the US will now have to get insurance cover but buying it or getting someone else like an employer to cover them.



Sounds bad, until you hear that costs will fall, and insurance companies will be banned from using death panels to deny care to Americans.

The ones that still live in houses don't know what this health care is all about either! Obama signed it yesterday, and right off the bat, it was announced there were going to be some changes in it! DUH!!! What does THAT mean! They say there are 2600 plus pages of garbage, I say garbage, cos not even the Administration can put it into PLAIN language so we could ALL understand what we are being forced to endure!!! We may not even find out what we get and what we don't until 2014, but the plan is, we are going to be made to PAY for it in advance! What we are supposed to do in the meantime, is anybodies guess.

You mentioned the homeless! that's a good one! How is this government going to round them up and add them to the census!? Nobody knows WHERE they are!!! What this government should be doing, is getting rid of the illegals, FIND these homeless people, and put a roof over their heads. The majority are not bad people, just down on their luck. Stop sending these druggies to rehabilitation centers, paid for by our tax dollars, and the buggers go right back at it as soon as they get released! They should be cleaning the cities of these drug dealers, instead a wasting our tax dollars on this mythical Health care Plan!Can someone tell me what the new health care legislation in the US means?You asking about a bill that is so screwed up before the house would even vote on it, they had to pass a bill to fix some of the hundreds of problems that this bill has!



so why did they not take the time to just fix the problems in the health care reform m bill in the first place?



What is the great rush? What are they hiding?
