Caps out-of pocket expenses so people don't go broke when they get sick.
Eliminates extra charges for preventive care like mammograms, flu shots and diabetes tests to improve health and save money.
Protects Medicare for seniors and eliminates the "donut-hole" gap in coverage for prescription drugs.

If you don't have insurance:

Creates a new insurance marketplace-the Exchange- that allows people without insurance and small businesses to compare plans and buy insurance at competitive prices.
Provides new tax credits to help people buy insurance and to help small businesses cover their employess.
Offers a public health insurance option to provide the uninsured who can't find affordable coverage with a real choice.
Offers new, low-cost coverage through a national "high risk" pool to prtoect people with preexisting conditions from financial ruin until the new Exchange is created.

For all Americans:

Won't add a dime to the deficit and is paid for upfront.
Creates an independent commission of doctors and medical experts to identify waste, fraud and abuse in the health care system.
Orders immediate medical malpractice reform projects that could help doctors focus on putting their patients first, not on practicing defensive medicine.
Requires large employers to cover their employees and individuals who can afford it to buy insurance so everone shares in the responsibility of reform.

Check out these Videos

If you go to "Youtube.com" you can get a wide selection of health videos. I don't have control over which of the videos you see on this page. Most are very instructive. But be careful, some have a strong commercial bias, meaning they want you to buy something or have you doctor order an expensive test. In general, don't beleive something unless it is sponsored by a nonprofit organization or you see it on three respectable websites. You don't need money or testing to be in good health. Focus on the wellness part of the videos.
