Reform shot in arm to people, economy

Health care reform is way overdue. It will ultimately improve the country's fiscal health by putting the people in control of their health and making sure insurance companies are held accountable.

People will no longer have their insurance revoked because they got sick - the very "peril" insurance is made to protect them against.

Young people, previously left out in the cold after school, will be able to remain on their parents' policies until age 26.

Preventive care will be free for seniors, a huge step in improving quality of life and preventing more serious illness (and expense!!!).

These are common-sense but landmark changes that will improve the nation's health care system, making it "healthy."
