Monday morning the White House website posted its first health care plan.

The plan would provide coverage to more than 31 million Americans currently uninsured without adding to the federal budget.

The reform would also save states and federal government money.

"That's why we've taken up the cause of better health care. It works for our people, our businesses, and our governments alike," says Obama.

The proposed plan would not allow insurance companies to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions.

It does not include a public option and expands Medicaid, something Kelli Hart of the Virginia Organizing Project supports.

"We need some reform desperately so that Americans have affordable health insurance coverage, accessible health care insurance coverage, that the insurance companies are held accountable for their practices because insurance is to protect us and not help them make profits," says Hart.

Hart explains that one in seven Virginians are without health insurance and that 10 working-age Virginians die each week because of no insurance.

The Shenandoah Valley chapter of the Virginia Organizing Project put together a detailed report in August of 2009 showing that steadily, each year, the need for health care reform in the Warren county area is increasing.

The report shows 13% of Warren county residents are without coverage, equaling about 60,000 men, women, and children.

"People are well-aware that crises in our health and the cost of paying more happens all the time and people don't like to see other people suffer that way," explains Hart.

The proposed bill will be discussed at a bi-partisan summit Thursday.

"The key things will be affordability, access for everyone, small businesses to get tax credits so that they can cover their people and afford it, and the regulations and consumer protections against denying people from pre-existing conditions," adds Hart.
