And if you re in the up to half of all Americans who ve been sick or have a preexisting condition, this law meansthat beginning January 1st, insurance companies have to cover you - and they can ' t use your medical history to charge you more than anybody else.如果你沒有醫(yī)療保險，

8、從10 月 1 日開始，私營醫(yī)保計劃將爭相為你提供服務。你可以在網(wǎng)上市場對這些商戶進行比較，就像在線買手機或機票一樣。你還可能符合新稅收優(yōu)惠的條件而剛好可以承擔這一計劃的支出。如果你是接近一半的已經(jīng)處在病中或擁有疾病史的人員之一，該法意味著從明年1 月 1 日起， 保險公司將為你提供全面保障，他們再也不能利用你的疾病史向你多收取保費了。You can find out more about the law, and how to sign up to buy your own coverage right now at HealthC.Tellyour friends and n

11、down the government.國會兩黨的很多議員，都在積極努力向選民們解釋這些帶來好處， 保障和平價的計劃。但仍然有一小部分共和黨議員在極力破壞人民的期望，給出空頭承諾，并聲稱將會否決平價醫(yī)療法，如果他們不能得逞就會讓政府部門停擺。Think about that. They re actually having a debate between hurting Americans who will no longer be denied affordable care just because they ' ve been sick - and harming the ec

12、onomy and millions of Americans in the process.AndmanyRepublicans are more concerned with how badly this debate will hurt them politically than they are with how badly itll hurt the country.想一想吧。他們的爭論真切地傷害到了再也不會因為已經(jīng)生病就被平價醫(yī)療保險拒絕賠付的美國民眾，也傷害了經(jīng)濟發(fā)展和就要享受到醫(yī)保好處的數(shù)百萬美國民眾。這些共和黨議員更關(guān)心將這場辯論 持續(xù)下去是否會損害其政治利益而不是是否會傷害
