Checking in: Health Reform across the country
On the 2 year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act we take a look at what reform means for so many folks across the country. In September of 2009 We met Nathan and his son, Thomas. Thomas was born with hemophilia, and he hit lifetime limits on his health coverage with two different insurance companies before he turned seven years old. Two years ago, Nathan was hopeful about what the Affordable Care Act would mean. Last week we spoke with them again and they made it clear: health reform has improved their quality of life. It means they can focus on making sure Thomas has the best possible care. It's changing their lives for the better. Video Rating: 4 / 5
The US has a catastrophically fragmented health care system that provides incentives for sick care instead of prevention. The system is in dire need of reform -- reform to save lives, to save families and to save money for both patients and the American health care system. Stand with more than 450000 doctors who support health care reform. Call Congress: (202) 224-3121. Take more action by visiting www.healhealthcarenow.org
