1. That's excellent news

Maybe I'll be able to get coverage for more than 15 mental health visits a year now and maybe this is a small step toward getting that universal health care we all desire.

2. I've had no insurance for the last 15 years but I will soon again.

And if the standard has changed, many people will benefit. :)

3. was this part of the bailout

or something else?

4. From what I understand, the Senatue used this bill to piggback the bailout.

So ironic, isn't it?
