My friends and I are looking forward to it. With the problems that we have had on private insurance, we are hoping for something different. I haven't had too many problems with the medicare so far. I'm hoping that the new health care coverage, which was created by both parties, not just Obama, will not be as costly as what I have been experiencing so far. My husband and I have had to fight private insurance to cover what they are supposed to. We pay premiums, so they should honor their part of the contract without making us resubmit claims or threatening to contact the states attorney general or a private lawyer. It is so frustrating and the insurance company has established a pattern of doing this kind of thing with my husband's coworkers as well. They want to make money and do their best to keep from paying out. I understand companies don't want to cover me because of the SCI, but my husband is relatively healthy, but because he was on two different medications, he was denied private insurance coverage. Also, cancer runs in his family and he was denied citing that as a reason even though he has not had cancer. I have a niece who was adopted. She was exposed to cocaine in utero. She is now 13, but when she was adopted, the insurance company didn't want to cover her because of her history. I think it is a shame that people like my husband and my niece can be denied medical coverage by no fault of their own.

Private insurance premiums will most certainly be raised for those that have it.
