This is a topic that everyone should strongly care about. If this current reform bill passes that would mean a great change in our current healthcare. I understand that this is meant to ensure that everyone in the U.S has healthcare, and to have healthcare that is equal to the rest of the worlds. With that said, every country that has strong government interference with healthcare all has major setbacks. .
Also, if this reform bill were to pass that would mean a great increase in taxes, which I don’t believe would be good for anyone in a rescission. If there was a public option it would draw away people from the insurance companies, resulting in fewer physicians, and fewer choices for our health provides, also it would undermine the markets, after all healthcare makes up one seventh of our U.S economy.
While researching this online I found a poll that I believe helps my case. In this conservative poll, it suggests that 60% of Americans believe there taxes will go up if this bill is passed. Later in the same poll it claims that 45%of Americans believe the quality of their health care will diminish under the purposed plan. Also, 76% of Americans agree that the government should focus on fixing the economy before they try to fix, a health care system that is not broken. Lastly, almost unanimously by 92% Americans believe that congress should read and understand the bills they vote on, even if they are over a thousand pages. Hello Americans do you really want the people that run the department of motor vehicles, or the post office running your doctor visits.
