The Health Care Reform bill has passed, but much of the country remains uninformed about some of the changes that our President and legislators fought so hard and long for.

10 Things Every American Should Know About Healthcare Reform

• Once reform is fully implemented, over 95% of Americans will have health insurance coverage, including 32 million who are currently uninsured.²
• Health insurance companies will no longer be allowed to deny people coverage because of preexisting conditions or to drop coverage when people become sick.³
• Just like members of Congress, individuals and small businesses who can't afford to purchase insurance on their own will be able to pool together and choose from a variety of competing plans with lower premiums.⁴
• Reform will cut the federal budget deficit by $138 billion over the next ten years, and a whopping $1.2 trillion in the following ten years.⁵
• Health care will be more affordable for families and small businesses thanks to new tax credits, subsidies, and other assistance paid for largely by taxing insurance companies, drug companies, and the very wealthiest Americans.⁶
• Seniors on Medicare will pay less for their prescription drugs because the legislation closes the "donut hole" gap in existing coverage.⁷
• By reducing health care costs for employers, reform will create or save more than 2.5 million jobs over the next decade.⁸
• Medicaid will be expanded to offer health insurance coverage to an additional 16 million low-income people.⁹
• Instead of losing coverage after they leave home or graduate from college, young adults will be able to remain on their families' insurance plans until age 26.¹⁰
• Community health centers would receive an additional $11 billion, doubling the number of patients who can be treated regardless of their insurance or ability to pay.¹¹
