What's in the Health Care Bill for Families?

Shortly after Heather Mroz became pregnant with twins, her husband's company went into bankruptcy. Prior to this devastating event, the Mroz's had health insurance coverage. Despite being unemployed, Heather and her husband were assured by their provider that they would continue their coverage. At 20 weeks pregnant, Heather experienced some complications that required her to stay in the hospital for six weeks.

In the end, the Mroz's owed over $482,00 to all of their health care providers.
