Presidential News Conference

During the summer of 2009, there was a Presidential News Conference. Here are a few key notes that I was able to gather up:

1) If you are content with the health insurance you have, you can stay with that plan.
2) The new health reform will hopefully be in action before this year ends.
3) The new health reform not only affects the financial aspects of health care but the "delivery" as well (meaning better conditions at hospitals, better treatment from doctors & nurses, etc.).
4) The new health reform will significantly improve for senior citizens.
