Today the vote was passed by the Supreme Court 5-4 to pass Obama's new healthcare plan. The healthcare plan widely known as "Obamacare" is going to make it a legal obligation to carry health insurance, and if one is not subcscribed to a health insurance company, there can be legal action taken against them. This law has been looked at as extremely controversial by many, and is sure to be used as a ploy in the Republican's campaign run coming up. To learn more about the bill, check out the link below.

As for politics, I'm definitely not the person to be talking to when you need well thought out information. What I do know though, is that this bill is going to help a lot of people. There has to be a way that it's also going to help America's economy, due to the fact that everything seems to revolve around that on Capitol Hill. I have been looking into the bill, but there are so many different opinions on it, that it's tough to get straight answers. My view is that it's going help us, but I'm very interested to hear other views from peers who aren't politically educated.
I think that forcing small companies to pay taxesfor something that they will not see any benefit to is wrong. I, like you, am finding it difficult to get a straight answer from anyone, but from what I can make out, forcing someone to have a healthcare plan will be similar to making someone carry a gun whether they want on or not, a lot of extra work and hassel that not a lot of people want.I want to be as honest and tactful as possible, but this bill is a bad idea, it is pushing through the adgenda of one man, not the country he is supposed to be serving.
ReplyDeleteEveryday Americans complain about being obese, overweight and even sometimes fat. I think all these words are hurtful and no one deserves to be called that. But the Obama care is here to help combat this issue, did u know with Obama care chain restaurants with over twenty locations are required to display the calories of food items on their menus? If Americans were to have an idea of how many calories they were eating, they will be a little more cautious and make the right choices.
