Healthcare+-+Obama

===“We now face an opportunity — and an obligation — to turn the page on the failed politics of yesterday's health care debates… My plan begins by covering every American. If you already have health insurance, the only thing that will change for you under this plan is the amount of money you will spend on premiums. That will be less. If you are one of the 45 million Americans who don't have health insurance, you will have it after this plan becomes law. No one will be turned away because of a preexisting condition or illness.” ===

The Facts:
 * 47 million Americans including nearly 9 million children lack health insurance with no signs of this trend slowing down.
 * Health insurance premiums have risen 4 times faster than wages over the past 6 years.
 * The nation faces epidemics of obesity and chronic diseases as well as new threats of pandemic flu and bioterrorism. Yet despite all of this less than 4 cents of every health care dollar is spent on prevention and public health.

Barack Obama has a plan. He will make a new national health plan available to all Americans to buy affordable health coverage. Obama promises that no American will be turned away becouse of illness or any other factors. Obama will make it mandatory for all children to have health care coverage.
