One of the bills weaknesses is the requirement that employers who don’t, or can’t, offer a health insurance package to employees cover the additional costs for the government-subsidized coverage employees may qualify for. Another weakness, according to Ryan Grim at the Huffington Post: “The package, coming in at under $900 billion over 10 years, is the least generous in terms of subsidies for working- and middle-class Americans to purchase health insurance, and it does not include a national public health insurance option.”The over-arching goal seems to be to start with something, anything that may lead to more aggressive health care reform down the line, reform that will be easier to both organize and actualize.
Did you have health issues in the past? Or are you currently taking prescription medications? Are you going to have or have you had trouble obtaining health insurance in California?

I’m a freelancer entrepreneur in Los Angeles with no health insurance coverage! And I am constantly in search of affordable health care! Being overwhelmed by the scope of information, and misinformation, out there about health insurance, I was thrilled to come across the blog toddshealthinsurance.com.
This blog is a must read for anyone looking for health-related (and health insurance-related) information made simple. Todd Fries, a health care agent working in California, Los Angeles region, covers topics from rising health care costs to treating back pain.
According to the Los Angeles Times, California has 2,700 hospitalizations and 206 deaths from H1N1. However, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases says, “the 2009 H1N1 viruses cause generally mild disease but also spread between individuals relatively effectively.” Although more people may become ill from Swine Flu, fewer will die from it than from regular, seasonal flu.
Should you get vaccinated against H1N1? If you don’t want to miss several days or weeks of work due to respiratory illness, or worry about developing a “pre-existing condition” for which you might be denied health insurance, you might answer yes.
