Our nation is divided amongst two parties; Democratic and Republican in which disagree on practically everything and nothing ever gets done. Barack Obama was elected in 2008, and health care was his main focus for his campaign. It reflected leadership and a focal point in which was a necessity to the millions without health care. Men and women were quick to judge his actions and deny all efforts to pass a bill to regulate health Care. WHAT REGULATION? People are quick to say "no government involvement" but than are quick to say where my medicare?(a GOVERNMENT program that has been around for more then 50 or more years. Health Care companies have to much power in which they can choose who lives and who dies by turning down citizens with preexisting health problems. They amp up the price of medication, and turn down the sick. Their has to come a point where Americans stand up and say something. This new bill that Barack Obama signed and will be in effect in 2014, in which will provide affordable health care across the America. There are estimated 33 million Americans without insurance and will cover a majority of Americans. This new bill will regulate the health Care companies so that they can't turn down anyone with preexisting health Care, will also ensure that any business with 50 or more employees be forced to provide health Care for every employee and have a fine of 2000$ for each employee who does not have health care. This bill may not work and may have underlying cons, but were headed into a direction and not a stalemate. We keep delaying the inevitable to change and look where our health care companies have gotten. (The power to play god). Why question affordable health care, not being denied for having a preexisting health problem, and making health care a necessity not a luxury to all Americans. Why is health care so expensive? well the answer is simple, technology and the payment of doctors. But why is medication so expensive? Well this is where it can't be answered. If medicine costs 500 dollars per bottle? how much money do you think it takes to make? 3 dollars? Which is a 497 dollar profit... Price gouging much? (which is illegal). Its time that we accept an appropriate health care bill that regulates the money hoarding insurance companies.
