<DIV>This is of course a paid political message, but its not a bad explanation
of some of the better points of the new health care system.</DIV>

provided a good estimate of what medical insurance will cost you at your current
income with your current number of dependents.</DIV>

width="90%"><FONT face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">When you hear
about the new health reform law these days, too much talk is focused on
the political.<BR><BR>What I've found is that most Americans just want to
know how this new law helps their families stay healthy -- and how it
reduces their costs.<BR><BR>The first thing I tell people who ask about
the Affordable Care Act is that, for moms like me, it makes our lives
easier. It gives families control over their own care. And it gives us the
comfort of knowing that our insurance will be there when we need it most
-- especially if we get sick. Then I tell them that it gets better, but
there's a lot to know. To help, this administration has set up <A
href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/m/55c10b0e/5027a9c1/8817f6ac/11880077/3743488787/VEsH/">HealthCare.gov</A>,
where folks can see customized information about how care will improve for
their families.<BR><BR>So much of what makes this law great is its
emphasis on preventive care -- right now, too many people aren't getting
the check-ups or the screenings they need to stay healthy. Twelve percent
of kids haven't seen a doctor in the past year. And 59 million adults --
and 11 million children -- depend on an insurance plan that does not cover
basic immunizations.<BR><BR>Health reform is changing that. Under this new
law, all new private plans will provide basic preventive services --
things like childhood immunizations and checkups, mammograms,
colonoscopies, cervical screenings, and treatment for high blood pressure
-- absolutely free of charge. No copay. No deductible. No co-insurance
needed.<BR><BR>And, on <A
href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/m/55c10b0e/5027a9c1/8817f6ac/11880077/3743488787/VEsE/">HealthCare.gov</A>,
you can not only learn what preventive steps will help keep your family
healthy, but also what insurance coverage options are available based on
your needs.<BR><BR>A focus on prevention will help us to combat diabetes,
heart disease, and high blood pressure -- chronic illnesses that right now
lead to seven of ten deaths in the United States and 75 percent of our
national health care costs.<BR><BR>And it will help us tackle an issue
that is dear to my heart -- childhood obesity. As some of you know one of
my top priorities as First Lady is the <I>Let's Move!</I> campaign, where
we have made it our goal to put a stop to the challenge of childhood
obesity within a generation, so children who are born today grow up at a
healthy weight.<BR><BR>Each of us needs to take responsibility for our own
health and the health of our families, and the new health reform law can
help. That's why I'm writing today -- to make sure you and Americans
across the country know how their health plans are getting better day by
day under reform.<BR><BR>Please visit <A
