Whatever your position is on health care reform, the current bill, and whether it should pass, everyone should first know the facts. Throughout the last week I've noticed there's a wide variation of facts as well as opinions. We can talk about if these items are worth passing, if these items are "enough", but we cannot say the bill does nothing in the first year. It does do these things.
Below the fold are immediate benefits of passing the health care reform bill.
Regarding Kucinich - I was at the rally in Strongsville yesterday. I could see Congressman Kucinich during the rally and he was taking notes on a yellow notepad. I am hoping, and this may be wishful thinking, that this means he was making note of the benefits and will vote yes.
Update: Kucinich is voting 'Yes' ! Thanks Dennis !
