今天，Organizing for America (OFA) 發布了奧巴馬總統的關於醫療保險改革的8點
保證。
他在下午2:30通過網絡/電話舉行的OFA National Health Care Forum with President
Obama 中強調了這8點。並指出，當前那些反對醫療保險改革的黨派/團體采用的恐
嚇、混淆視聽的手法由來以久，早自羅斯福總統時代。但一旦人們了解真相，醫療
保險改革是會獲得通過的。
試譯如下:
1 ，不得歧視已經有的疾病
保險企業不允許由於個人的病史而拒絕提供醫療保險。
2 ，不允許過高的自付費用， 免賠額和共同支付費用
保險企業必須遵守每年可以收取自付費用的上限。
3 ，免費提供預防保健
保險公司必須完全負責，免費提供，幫助預防疾病的定期檢查和檢測，
如乳房X線照片，為糖尿病患者提供眼睛和腳的檢查。
4 ，禁止取消對重病人的醫療保險
保險企業將被禁止取消或降低對重病人的醫療保險。
5 ，禁止性別歧視
保險企業將被禁止由於性別而提高醫療保險費用
6 ，沒有年度的或終生的醫療保險上限
保險公司將被禁止設定年度或終生的醫療保險上限
7 ，延長對青少年的醫療保險
子女將有資格一直到26歲享受由家庭提供的醫療保險
8 ，保證醫療保險的續保
保險企業將被要求延長任何保險計劃，隻要投保人支付保險費全額。保險公司將不
允許因為買保險者患病而拒絕續保。

沒錯，不少人都是這麽想的。
大家還記得競選初始奧巴馬是如何信誓旦旦要依靠聯邦競選基金，後來又是怎麽把說出來的話吃回去的？總統的對"醫療保險改革"的痛快保證，根本就不知道管一個"國有保險公司"不是一件容易的事,奧巴馬上台不到60天，製造出美國曆史上最大的政府開支計劃赤字其實,沒能力的總是沒能力，不管他吹得怎麽樣。
