mother as she fought cancer in her final days, worrying about whether her insurer would claim her illness was a pre- existing condition. i have met so many americans who worry about the same thing, and that is why under these reforms, insurance companies will no longer be able to deny coverage because of a previous illness or injury. insurance companies will no longer be allowed to drop or water down coverage for someone who has become seriously ill. your health insurance ought to be there for you when it counts, and reform will make sure it is. with reform, insurance companies will also have to limit how much you can be charged for out-of- pocket expenses, and it will stop insurance companies from placing arbitrary caps on the amount of courage can receive in a given year for a lifetime, because no one in america should go broke because of an illness. in the end, the debate about health insurance reform boils down to a choice between two approaches. the first is almost guaranteed to double health care costs of the next decade, leave millions more americans without insurance, leave those

no one in america should go broke because of an illness. we will require insurance companies to cover routine checkups and preventative care like mammograms, colonoscopies. eye and foot examples for diabetics so we can avoid critical illnesses that cost not only lives and money. no longer will insurance companies be able to drop or water down coverage for someone who has become seriously ill. it's not right, it's not fair. we will stop insurance companies from placing arbitrary caps on the coverage you can receive in a given year or in a lifetime. so my point is whether or not you have health insurance right now, the reforms we seek will bring stability and security that you don't have today. reforms that will become more and more with each passing year. >> what do americans think about the job president obama is doing? cnns deputy political director, paul steinhauser has these latest polls. >> fred, this week, barack obama marks 200 days in office. one of the big questions -- how is he doing? one way to gauge that is take a look at his app
