The American are already starting to see the benefits of the Obama's administration's health care reform. The new law requires health insurance companies to end their most indefensible practice: canceling health insurance coverage after a policyholder gets sick, sometimes with breast cancer. In recent days the very wrost of the insurers have rushed to announce that they will end rescissions.

That is very good news for the thens upon tenws of thousands thousands of people who each year pay their premiums only to lose their coverage when they fall ill.

The insurers decided to act quickly after they were whacked by some very bad publicity. An investigative report by Reuters' investigative reporter Murray Waas disclosed that one of the nation’s biggest insurers, WellPoint, had targeted women with breast cancer.
