Even though this bill leaves a lot on the table this one item makes it worth it.

[Lochloosa]

If you are refused coverage because of your health, you can get insurance from a new high-risk pool.
The pool will be established within six months and will operate until 2014, when insurance companies can no longer refuse applicants with pre-existing health problems. Annual out-of-pocket medical costs will be capped at $5,950 for individuals and $11,900 for families.
