It's less about reform for people who already have insurance and more about people who cannot afford to buy insurance and do not get insurance from their employers. It's about time. We already pay for these people to get very poor medical care through ERs all across the US. They do not get turned away, and we pay through our taxes and higher insurance premiums. In return, we have a whole class of citizens who get horrible medical care with no follow up and only catastrophic care. They tweaked a few things with the insurance companies, but this is a first step. Congress can't make huge changes all at once....hell, look what they had to go through to do this little!
