well this sucks
i just got an email saying that these things will happen with the current senate health care bill:
# Many of the taxes to pay for the bill start now, but most Americans won't see any benefits -- like an end to discrimination against those with preexisting conditions -- until 2014 when the program begins.
# Allows insurance companies to charge people who are older 300% more than others
# Grants monopolies to to drug companies that will keep generic versions of expensive biotech drugs from ever coming to market.
# No reimportation of prescription drugs, which would save consumers $100 billion over 10 years
