今天，Organizing for America (OFA) 发布了奥巴马总统的关于医疗保险改革的8点
保证。
他在下午2:30通过网络/电话举行的OFA National Health Care Forum with President
Obama 中强调了这8点。并指出，当前那些反对医疗保险改革的党派/团体采用的恐
吓、混淆视听的手法由来以久，早自罗斯福总统时代。但一旦人们了解真相，医疗
保险改革是会获得通过的。
试译如下:
1 ，不得歧视已经有的疾病
保险企业不允许由于个人的病史而拒绝提供医疗保险。
2 ，不允许过高的自付费用， 免赔额和共同支付费用
保险企业必须遵守每年可以收取自付费用的上限。
3 ，免费提供预防保健
保险公司必须完全负责，免费提供，帮助预防疾病的定期检查和检测，
如乳房X线照片，为糖尿病患者提供眼睛和脚的检查。
4 ，禁止取消对重病人的医疗保险
保险企业将被禁止取消或降低对重病人的医疗保险。
5 ，禁止性别歧视
保险企业将被禁止由于性别而提高医疗保险费用
6 ，没有年度的或终生的医疗保险上限
保险公司将被禁止设定年度或终生的医疗保险上限
7 ，延长对青少年的医疗保险
子女将有资格一直到26岁享受由家庭提供的医疗保险
8 ，保证医疗保险的续保
保险企业将被要求延长任何保险计划，只要投保人支付保险费全额。保险公司将不
允许因为买保险者患病而拒绝续保。

大家还记得竞选初始奥巴马是如何信誓旦旦要依靠联邦竞选基金，后来又是怎么把说出来的话吃回去的？总统的对"医疗保险改革"的痛快保证，根本就不知道管一个"国有保险公司"不是一件容易的事,奥巴马上台不到60天，制造出美国历史上最大的政府开支计划赤字其实,没能力的总是没能力，不管他吹得怎么样。
