Quality health care for Americans means:
Affordability for the middle class
Security for our seniors
Stability and peace of mind
Responsibility to our children by not adding to the deficit
This is what the Affordable Health Care for America Act means for you and your family:
No discrimination for pre-existing conditions
No dropped coverage if you become sick
No co-pays for preventive care
Yearly caps on what you pay
No caps on what insurance companies pay
The ability to keep your current doctor and plan

TOP 10 WAYS HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM WORKS FOR YOU
1. Ends insurance company discrimination. The Affordable Health Care for America Act will stop insurance companies from denying coverage to Americans with pre-existing conditions such as heart disease, cancer, or diabetes and from hiking up rate or dropping coverage for those who get sick.
2. Makes coverage more affordable. The House bill will rein in rising health costs for American families and small businesses by introducing competition that will drive premiums down, capping out-of-pocket spending, ensuring no more co-pays for preventive care, ensuring no yearly caps on what the insurance company will cover, and providing premium subsidies for those who need them. Tax credits will help small businesses cover their workers. Eliminating health status rating means they won’t pay higher premiums based on their employees’ health status.
3. Improves choice and competition. In most states today, one insurance company controls nearly half the market. To increase competition and keep insurance companies honest, the House bill provides those who must buy their own insurance the choice between private plans and a public health insurance plan. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that this public health insurance plan would save taxpayers tens of billions of dollars.
4. Ensures quality coverage for 96% of Americans. The CBO estimates that the House bill will result in health care coverage for 96% of Americans. This will lead to significantly reducing the current cost of providing uncompensated care for 46 million Americans and result in lower costs for everyone and savings to the economy.
5. Does not add one dime to the deficit. According to the CBO, the House bill reduces the deficit, while covering 96% of Americans with quality, affordable health care.
6. Improves our focus on wellness and prevention. The House bill will work to change the focus of our health care system from treating sickness to promoting wellness with several provisions such as eliminating out-of-pocket costs for recommended preventive services, strengthening community-based wellness services, and rewarding primary care.
7. Improves quality. The House bill ensures that it is doctors and patients—not insurance companies—making health care decisions. More family doctors and nurses will enter the workforce, helping guarantee access. It moves us toward a system rewarding the quality of care, for instance, through accountable care organizations and medical homes.
8. Strengthens Medicare. The House bill improves Medicare by extending Medicare’s financial solvency by five years, improving coordination of care and reducing errors for seniors with conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes, eliminating the prescription drug “donut hole” coverage gap over a period of years, and providing free preventive care and wellness check-ups.
9. Cuts down on fraud, waste, and abuse. The House bill will strengthen oversight and enforcement measures to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse in the health care system, which is estimated to cost more than $60 billion every year.
10. Lowers costs over the long term. The House bill rewards care that prevents hospital readmissions, promotes doctors working together to coordinate your care better, cuts waste and fraud, invests in prevention and wellness, strengthens primary care, and reforms reimbursement to provide incentives for the quality—not the volume—of services.

Good Grief, with those thunder thighs, it’s no wonder they make a stink about her arms!

“The MOST honest, ethical and transparent Congress in HISTORY!”
Of Course!!!!
As long a one supports ‘social justice’ with it’s redistribution of wealth which was stolen by racist white males, the rules do not apply to you and the media will ALWAYS give you a blind eye!!!
Culture of Corruption.
The funny thing is, the correction still spelled “huge” wrong.
My guess is this is a yes vote, and so the house will do nothing to remove her from office, or open any sort of investigation, or threaten her in any way.
