At the risk of rehashing points made throughout the battle that was Obamacare (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), I support it because of the following *the provisions most applicable to Guam
1. Expansion of Medicaid to a larger pool of people.
2. Dependents can now stay under their parents' insurance until their 26th birthday.
3. Insurance companies can no longer deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions for children under the age of 19 years.
4. The creation of a rebate that insurers must pay if they do not spend a certain percent of premium dollars on eligible expenses to policy holders.
5. Insurers are prohibited from discriminating against or charging higher rates for any individuals based on pre-existing medical conditions.
I applaud the United States Supreme Court's decision to uphold the main provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. We can't keep expecting people with no insurance to not keep themselves medically fit if the only thing they are able to do is go to a hospital for a life threatening emergency. What is the bad thing about making sure EVERYONE (REGARDLESS OF FINANCIAL ABILITIES) HAS ACCESS TO PROPER MEDICAL CARE?
