The clarity of the bill seems to be the biggest problem for all. Asking any of my friends, even pre-med folk and sis who's at ku med, no one knows what all it entails.
For me, i know it means that i can stay on my parents plan longer, which as i'll be studying a while longer, is huge. my humira that is normally $2500 a month is about $70 with insurance. So, for a couple more years, that's amazing.
I know that the AHA also provides incentives of some sort to prescription manufacturers to provide relief on medication. Abbott (Mfr of Humira) is providing a supplement to my insurance so that now, instead of 2500 or 70 a month, its $5 dollars a month for me to stay healthy. pretty sure there's either pressure, or incentive, for all manufacturers (AZP, Pfizer, GSK, etc) to provide these supplements.
