75. Careful on the pre-existing condition
One bill allows them to charge premiums 300% higher for pre-existing conditions. And there is nothing in the bill to assure that anyone who gets one of those policies will actually be able to afford to use it. But you will be forced to get one. The one and only feature of either bill that has any chance of providing real relief is the public option which virtually everyone on both sides of the isle say is either dead, or will kill the bill. So keep hanging on to that as a reason to justify your support.

Very few if any will benefit from this. Many will be harmed. Especially as there is no assurance one will be able to afford their perscriptions, but big pharma is assured of their profits.
