Health insurence --- obama

[venumssi]

Nevertheless, he cannot really celebrate the reform that he promised for so long. Since his campaign, Obama has provided two primary justifications for universal health care. First, was the moral necessity to eliminate the existential risks posed by illness or injury to more than 40 million Americans without coverage. The second justification was an economic one -- rising health care costs, so goes the argument, must be brought under control in order to reduce stress on the U.S. budget.

The first promise has been fulfilled -- the new legislation demonstrates solidarity with those unable to afford health coverage and with those who were refused insurance. The second promise, however, has been postponed. The reform bill only half-heartedly addresses the reduction of health care costs and those measures aimed at savings can easily be skirted. Insurance companies will get millions of new customers, but no real competition. Their shares are currently skyrocketing -- they are the true winners of US health care reform.

Obama is a Joke, can't take this guy seriously.

I believe every American should have health insurance. If we quit giving our money to other countries, and stop the space program for a few years, maybe we could afford it. We need to take care of America first then help other countries. Space is not the new frontier.

The problem about giving everyone free healthcare is that life expectancy increases and you end up with many retired people living longer than they should which isn't bad, but during a down turn when youth unemployment is high and the elderly lives on for longer, a high life expectancy paired with free health care can be a disaster.

Pharmaceutical companies might also gain from this. Well once they pass the entire cost to consumers in order to cover up billions of money spent on Medicare part D. Again, the patients suffer and obviously at the losing end.
