Health reform graph -- updated with video [Bryan]

Here is a clear graph that illustrates the major ideas behind health reform. Click it if you can't read it.


The "new consumer protections" it refers to are these:
· No discrimination for pre-existing conditions
· No exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles or co-pays
· No cost-sharing for preventive care
· No dropping of coverage if you become seriously ill
· No gender discrimination
· No annual or lifetime caps on coverage
· Extended coverage for young adults
· Guaranteed insurance renewal so long as premiums are paid


Update: A fun video explaining the benefits of a larger government role in health care.

Finally, something that shows the proposals with clarity. I have been waiting for just such a chart. Thank you for sharing it.
