I am not sure as to why republicans and some lunatics are making it a big deal. All we need are the followings:-
1. Pre-existing condition should be covered.
2. Lower the premium.
3. Cut the non-sense of allowing generic vs non-generic drugs. Whatever, is prescribed by the doctor should be allowed by insurance company at a reasonable price.
4. Serious, life threatning disease should be covered to the fullest extent till the cultural evolution takes place and people are more educated to maintain healthy lifestyles.
5.Remove this non-sense of network vs non-network doctors. Patient should be allowed to choose any doctors they want.
6. Health Insurance should be mandatory and affordable.
7. There should be one flat rate premium for basic coverage.
8. Remove all these PPO, PDO nonsense. 

Now if that require, public options to create competition, so be it or insurance companies should by all these rules.

Is it too much to ask?
