Now let's look at this for a minute. First off, in this country we for the first time have a chance to see that all Americans who are not covered with health insurance can now be covered once and if this bill is passed. For the first time in this country, a person who cannot afford health coverage due to a pre-existing condition or because that person works for an employer that does not provide health coverage for employees can now be covered.
The other thing that is obvious is that once people can start to get healthier, they will be more productive at their jobs and just more productive in their everyday lives. It is important to note that people who are productive on their everyday lived are less likely to be hanging out on the street looking for and often finding trouble.
On the other hand congress especially the republicans claim that we can not afford health care. They are correct, we can't. However, we also can not afford to spend over 700 billion dollars to bail out a bunch of banks and wall street crooks as we are doing. We also can not afford to have members of congress to charter private and military jets to fly them and family and friends on business/pleasure trips and pay for the meals that congress at fancy restaurants but, we are paying for all those things too with our tax dollars.
We need to sort of do some starting over as in what we allow our government officials to spend our money on. we need to have a system where our government officials can and will be held accountable for ever dollar they spend of our tax money.
it does not matter at all if we can afford national health care or not in this country for the simple fact that if the bill passes and government needs money to pay for it they will most likely raise taxes and or print the money needed for the program.
I for one am all for the health care reform bill and I hope the democrats deem the bill as passed since they can do that and that type of bill passage has been used before by both the republicans and democrats alike. the republicans can boo hoo all they want about it but, it still can be done in that manner
As far as 38 states passing a law that would enable Americans to not purchase health insurance once the bill is passed. They need to forget that idea due to the fact the in this case the federal law would supersede the state law and the federal law would win
It really is this simple, there are millions of Americans that desperately need health care and can not obtain it. Everyday someone dies because they did not have access to health care. This country needs this healthcare reform and I for one hope we get it and soon. In my opinion any law maker that would not vote for this bill cares NOT anything for the American public. I bet they never vote down their big fat raises that they give themselves all the time
Until next time my friends stay healthy and take care
