Is Healthcare Reform the right prescription for us?
Expanding Medicare and the so-called Public Option has been taken off the
table, so far.
Parents can cover their children past their 21st. birthday. Even though,
Maryland already
provides coverage for children to age 26. Pre-existing conditions would be
covered.
Insurers could not impose life-time limits. And the debate goes on......
How is the reform going to affect your bottom line? Business owners are
saddled with
high insurance costs, taxes, benefits to employees, etc. Small business
can be impacted with
even higher insurance costs and penalties for not providing coverage to
their employees.
There is a need for reform, bringing down costs to business and
individuals. Providing
group coverage for 1 person business owner. Cap the CEO comp. Bill Jews,
former CEO for
Blue Cross/Blue Shield received millions in compensation when he left.
Let's get it right
instead of rushing thru a bill. And the debate goes on.....
Contact your senators on this important issue that can change the bottom
line for all.
