Under Obama's health care plan how will the elderly and chronically ill be affected?

Barack Obama will make health insurance affordable and accessible to all:





The Obama-Biden plan provides affordable, accessible health care for all Americans, builds on the existing health care system, and uses existing providers, doctors and plans to implement the plan.





Obama will lower health care costs:





The Obama plan will lower health care costs by $2,500 for a typical family by investing in health information technology, prevention and care coordination.





Promote public health:


Obama and Biden will require coverage of preventive services, including cancer screenings, and will increase state and local preparedness for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.Under Obama's health care plan how will the elderly and chronically ill be affected?
Not at all, unless he can actually get something passed. And I'd guess that IF he can get something passed, it's going to look drastically different than what he was campaigning with.





Keep in mind, in the UK and Canada, there are strict drug for颅mularies, limited treatment options, and discrimination by age in the provision of care. That means premature babies aren't given lifesaving treatments, and neither are the elderly.Under Obama's health care plan how will the elderly and chronically ill be affected?
He wants health for everyone....Didn't you ever listen to his speaches?! They will be affected by having better medical! Oh no, that might be a shame to the republicans. All McCain wanted to do is give $5000 to each state. Well we all know where that would go (to the wealthy). So, why is everyone talking bad about Obama...He wants America to have there critizens healthy!
We won't know for sure until he offers up specifics, and those will change based on lobbying, the whims of Congress, and how much it will cost.





Here are two links that discuss his plan (as well as McCain's):

don't you think those ?'s should have had answers for them before you voted for him. Like everything else he wants to CHANGE we have no idea how it is actually going to effect anything or CHANGE anything.
There is no plan. He's not President yet and will likely not have any money to make any major changes there.
no it help
