Another may be insurance issues - can we ever get life insurance again? What happens if you can't get medical coverage and aren't poor enough for medicaid?

How will the Health Reform Bill really affect people (those that have coverage, want it but can't afford it, aren't poor enough etc). It would be nice if the ins and outs of the bill could be easily explained.
