What is in the health care bill?

I was watching the news today, and on the show, On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, she was talking to a politician that had a couple of things to say about the health care bill. The first thing is that if you do not buy some kind of health insurance plan, you will have to pay a tax, and if you do not pay this tax, you can then be fined up to $25,000 and spend a year in jail. Now you may have heard this already as it has been circling in the news for the past couple of days, but the part that I didn’t know was that you must have a government approved health insurance plan. The government can say that the health insurance plan that you are on right now is not an approved plan and then they can throw you in jail. The second thing he said was in this health care bill is that there is a section that will give immunity to private insurance companies when they kill you because they denied you coverage. So, if you get some life threatening disease and you have a private health insurance plan, and that private insurance company denies you treatment, and you die as a result, this health care plan will give this insurance company immunity. Now, I thought that the main purpose of this health care reform was to stop private insurance companies from doing this, Obama himself, during his speech to a joint session, provided us with two examples of how the evil insurance companies are killing Americans, and yet they have a provision in their health care bill that provides them immunity when they kill you. Does anybody else see anything wrong with this?
