Regarding Universal Health Care?

OK, so since this has passed, I might as well care to know about it. Can someone give me an unbiased definition in a nutshell of what this will cover and where I can get more unbiased info? And no, I don't care to know whether you're for or against it. That's not what I'm asking.

By the way, my stance on this is I was neither for nor against it. I figured in this case my opinion wouldn't matter anyway.

    This is not universal health care. In universal, the government acts as the insurance company for the country. In this bill, the private insurance companies are still doing the insurance, but now those who are too poor to afford it will get government help. Plus there will be no more pre-existing condition denials, and no more "lifetime limits" or canceling you when you get sick. Plus there will be a lot more benefits.

    They mean everybody including illegal aliens. Did you know that the Senate - of which Hillary and Obama are members - just passed the rebate bill with a loophole - knowingly because the mistake was caught before hand and they did nothing about it - to ensure that illegals receive tax rebate? Hillary, McCain, Obama, Romney and that other guy Huckawackabee... they are ALL the same for keeping the mafia status quo of Washington government intact.

    All you need to know is that you are REQUIRED to buy insurance or go to jail. No choice, no pass go.
