There needs to be further action to put some kind of cost control/cap on premiums and deductibles.

We will benefit from the new legislation in January when we are able to enroll our 23 year old son on my husband's plan. As it stands now, we are paying 112.00 a month for his coverage which has a 2500.00 deductible and a 2 year rider on covering his preexisting condition. So it is basically catastrophic coverage. We have paid out a couple thousand already covering his broken wrist and some medical issues he has had. Feel fortunate that we can afford all this, and feel for all those who would struggle if they were in our situation.
