Unexpected medical expense. Never again will a woman have to pay twice as much as a man for the same insurance. That is why allowing insurers to continue offering deficient plans next year is such a bad policy. The law says that all plans except those that were grandfathered in 2010, must meet the new Consumer Protection standards. If we dont enforce this policy, Insurance Companies can continue offering flimsy coverage that disappears when people actually need it and no one should want that. It is understandable that there will be a focus today on what isnt working, but we must also remember what is working. The Health Insurance plans that are being offered in the exchanges are good plans. The premiums are much lower than expected. 60 of the uninsured individuals shopping in the new marketplaces will be able to get coverage for less than 100 per month. Half of the young adults will be able to get coverage for less than 50 per month. And since congress adopted the Affordable Care act,

The houseot know what is going to do, because we have a very factionalized house of representatives. They say keep the food stamps and the farm bill separate raid separate. A lot of the institutions on capitol hill see themselves as them again the world. Against the world. Trying tosswoman is be a good soldier, and the democrats are trying to get a bill through, but they know that the snap program is very important. If they had for different figured out how to bridge these gaps, we would have progress. The house and Senate Conferees are trying to negotiate some sort of deal on what they call on the ground common ground. Does the farm bill get thrown in that . Could be part of the budget agreement, and that is a good and bad thing for the senate committee. It is good because it is part of the bill, but then they lo
Diagnosis, you are 60 more likely to live five years and beyond if you have insurance than if you dont. I think thats a pretty powerful statement for why we need Affordable Health care for all of our citizens. Well, thank you. The republicans have not been able to defund or repeal it, but they have denied requested funding, theyve raised arguments about death panels and socialized medicine, and theyve worked to intimidate groups that could help the implementation effort. Theres a spreading of misinformation about the cost of coverage. We hear some of that today, and to actively dissuade the uninsured from seeking coverage. So madam secretary, how are these tactics impacted your ability to implement the Affordable Care act . Well, i dont think theres any question that a lot of people need a lot of information. I think its one of the reasons we had millions visit the site, try to visit the site. Its why i am so frustrated and disappointed that the site is not fully functional and why im

And including him in that process. Ms. Lam . Do you think your father would be interested in volunteering his services . My dad would be interested. The problem is that he has a tough time getting around. The way that it is now, there is the fence back there, and we have created a door to give them access to that area within the fence. He does not have to leave the house in order to be able to do this. Theyre going to put a retaining wall and a shrub, the shrub will be about the same size as the garden. I am not asking to own the property. I am happy to buy it; willing to sign waivers of liability a what have you to make it to where they will not be liable for anything that could possibly happen. Is really just for my dad to have access to the area to garden. If there will be a shrub behind the wall, why not just move it up .
