Health Care Reform

The health care reform has been a major topic of discussion in politics for quite some time now. It is an issue that is slowly being worked on to be solved. Back in November, the health care plan passed in the house. In the article, “Sweeping Health Care Plan Passes House,” they take a look into this situation. Democrats decided this would help to relieve some of the struggling people in America today. Many are hoping to make changes to some of it within the House and then hopefully pass the bill as a whole. It was decided this proposal was long overdue and would be left in the hands of the Senate to make the final decision.
Unfortunately, it was not as easy of a discussion in the Senate. In an article, “Push for Deal on Public Health Plan,” the topic and where it currently stands is discussed. Obama tried convincing the Senate Democrats to sign for this health care plan. A committee of ten senators was brought together to negotiate with insurers to offer new and better health plans. Unfortunately, there are still several issues that go unresolved with this proposal and they were unable to receive enough votes to pass this bill. There is an ongoing issue with gaining enough followers to pass this bill and it appears it may still be a while until the health care bill is accepted.
The health care reform, as a whole, is impacting the lives of just about every American. Each of these articles take a look at that and then talk about the plans of action being taken. They both discuss the worries about the health care plan and the problems than could possibly arise. It is not necessarily viewed as a perfect plan. However, both articles feel that there could be measures taken to make it successful and that it should be passed to help many people. It is a question of not only when, but how. What needs to be changed to pass this bill? Can it be done?
