Health care reform has quickly become one of the most talked about political initiatives. Health care reform will affect every American -- how much do you know about the plans being discussed and debated? How will the proposed legislation affect you? As you watch the news, read web updates and listen to other discuss health care reform, how do you know what is the reality and what is hyperbole meant to distract, mislead or "spin?" I believe we must listen with an open-mind but further, we must do our own research and analysis. Various fact checker sites are available. The link below is the American Nurses Association's (ANA) commentary on the proposed legislation; while not entirely unbiased (ANA has long been a supporter of health care reform), it does provide a description of some of the major points of contention in the plan, along with a fact-based discussion of those points. I encourage you to use this document as a stepping stone to learning more about US health care reform!

This is very interesting to me because I am a us citizen which find it very hard to keep health insurrance. I was told many of the myths that was explained in this article, by me reading this has clarified any misleading information that I was previously told. I am pleased to know that no one will be dicriminated against reguardless of their situations.
