During my final
weeks of college, I was too busy cramming for exams, writing endless papers,
enjoying the spring weather, oh yes, and searching for a job to worry about my
health insurance. But my parents were
certainly worrying about it, and I should
have been too.

Imagine this: You've been a hard-working employee for years.
Then, all of a sudden, your company goes under. Now you have to say goodbye to
your salary-and your health insurance. It could happen to anyone. So what do

Small
businesses fuel the U.S. economy.
Unfortunately, small businesses are struggling due to the financial burden of
providing health care for their employees during tough economic times. But with health reform, some of this
financial burden will be lifted, and employers will be able to help their
employees get the care they need.

Andrew
Ondrejcak, 24, was attempting to live out his dream. He moved from a small
town to New York City

likely to have diabetes than whites? Or that Latina women diagnosed with lung or breast
cancer are diagnosed in later stages and have lower survival rates than white

Everyone has those moments in their lives-the ones you tell
your children and grandchildren about. They always start off the same, and my
story is no different. I will never forget where I was when health care reform
finally passed and became law.

Insurance companies have demonstrated some pretty egregious
practices when it comes to who they'll cover and if they'll take away coverage.
We've heard horror stories, but this one takes the cake. Reuters
reported yesterday that in 2002, 17-year-old Jerome Mitchell, a college
freshman, was dropped from his insurance plan because he was diagnosed with
HIV.

If you watch the news on TV or read a newspaper, you know
that a lot of Americans are nervous about health reform. One recent
poll, conducted by Ipsos-McClatchey on February 26-28, found that 41% of
Americans favor reform, while 47% oppose. And that's in line with what the
media have been telling us, isn't it?
