Healthcare relief for many

According to the New York Times, the new healthcare law that was signed 6 months ago and that is now in use , is expected to bring hope to thousands of Americans who were excluded because of preexisting conditions. The White House said this will enable 72,000 uninsured to gain coverage and insurers also will be prohibited from imposing lifetime limits on benefits or drop customers it requires that they offer coverage to children under 26 on their parents’ policies.

“The amount of vulnerability that was out there was horrendous,” Mr. Obama on Wednesday told a gathering of people chosen to illustrate the law’s new provisions. He said he concluded that “we’ve just got to give people some basic peace of mind.”

I think this is really important because now people will not have to deal with that kind of
issues that much. Everyone is supposed to get healthcare whenever they need it. It is disturbing to see how the U.S is one of the most powerful countries in many ways but in other aspects such as healthcare we are behind compared to many other countries around the world.
