Web Wednesday: Weighing In On Health Care Debate

The debate over health care reform is heating up and people have strong opinions about the Obama administration wanting to provide national coverage.
Town hall meetings across the country are drawing crowds that are large, loud and tempers are getting a little out of control.
Officials estimate that there are 50 million Americans who don't have health insurance.
The plan has several layers and is complicated, but under the new health care reform plan, it will ban insurance companies from denying coverage to Americans with pre-existing medical conditions and prevent them from dropping a person's coverage after he or she becomes sick.
Out-of-pocket expenses would also be limited.
Some believe the plan means a government takeover of medicine.
They also insist the President's proposal would jeopardize medicare and result in limited insurance options.
So far, no bill has passed in either the house or senate.
Both sides are still debating what should be covered and how and who's going to pay for it.
