Thanks for posting this, Sandy.

My DH was one of the 11% who couldn't qualify due to pre-existing conditions which are not at all costly or which were thirteen years ago. He does have insurance because we were able to convert his employer's insurance.

I think it's good that this is being looked at more seriously, but it still seems like any resolution is ages away (requiring insurance companies to cover everyone/affordable premiums). Even Hillary Clinton now isn't promising immediate reform, but is saying instead "by the end of (her) second term."
