I am sure some of our readers are not political geeks like I am. I am also sure that the recent news of President Obama's health care law being deemed constitutional by the US Supreme Court might have some of you smiling or frowning.
The right wingers are having fun saying anything negative they can about this plan. Mitt Romney promises a full repeal if he is elected. This has become the most fun animal-free circus I have ever seen. And it's a huge bummer.
Mike and I have both always had health care. We are both in a position now where our employers pay 100% of our health care, and dental. We are totally fortunate, and grateful. I do not know what it is like to not have health care.
Not everyone has what we have. I don't know the number, but I am sure I can say that millions of US citizens do not have health care.
I applaud anyone who tries to fix a problem. I know President Obama had personal experiences around health care, that his mom was uninsured.
I do not know enough about the current health care plan just deemed constitutional but am stoked that people tried to fix a system that is definitely broken. I have read about many people who will be helped, some already have. I have read many good things about this plan. I have also read about the cost as well as fears that small businesses have in being required to offer health care.
Meanwhile, those who already have never liked President Obama have more ammunition and with their millions of dollars there is no doubt in my mind that we will be hearing and seeing their venom all over the place.
And hopefully a child will not lack for insurance because she had pre-existing conditions. And hopefully a recently graduated college student trying so hard to find a job can relax a bit knowing they will be covered by their parent's health insurance for a little longer. And so on.
I looked around for info on what the health care reform law looks like and this was one of the best sites I could find: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_reform_in_the_United_States
As this debate around health care continues, I hope that cool heads prevail and serious problems can be tackled. Demonizing each other will get us nowhere.
Thanks for reading!
Yes, although way from being a perfect health care system, no country has found one, yet, this reform is an improvement. I for once am glad that my 4 kids will be able to stay on the family insurance until they'll be done with school and hopefully lucky enough to land a job that will help pay for their own health coverage.
ReplyDeleteHealth & education ... HEALTH & EDUCATION! America was the only 'first world' nation without socialised health care. What is/was the value in being the sick & thick global bullies screaming "We're Number One!" Who did that benefit? But enough about the 1% ... (-:
