Questions regarding HC Bill, so don't jump on my case, k?
Edited on Sun Nov-08-09 01:24 AM by Digit
I realize this is just a start and we have to start somewhere. I also realize there will be changes.

Although I like the fact that the insurance will be unable to charge more for preexisting conditions, would they be able to jack up premiums for older people who are not yet covered by medicare? Premiums DO increase with age so why wouldn't they do this?

What about people who make more than $10,000/yr but cannot afford insurance?

Thanks!

1. Subsidies on a sliding scale...
...up to approximately $88,000 for a family of four, where they fade out.

2. Whew, thanks!
Just myself as my daughter is grown.

Does it state an amount for a single person?

Or if someone can provide a link, I will read it myself.
