Obama's Health care will make the nation go bankrupt, I think it is right for health care to be provided to all that cannot afford it. We all pay taxes so we all pay for health care. So what's the big deal? Why can't the United States of America make more money just for health care? There are so many questions about health care and why America is in such a debt, it gives me a headache because I have healthcare covered by the government but sometimes I feel likes it's unfair that I get free health care but people who are sturuggling more than my family is doesn't.
The government is controlled by power. When everyone is giving power then everyone feels the need to jump in and act as if they know what they are doing and what should be done. In these articles people state their opinions and the problems but noone states specific simple reasons to help the debt we are in. What should we do? Cutting off our health care or not giving people it will not helo the debt we are in. There will still be problems! As of right now there are being budgets cut from school and police departments, because what we need are schools and police departments. Reading these articles make my brain think about simple things that could be changed to stop the necessary cuting. I feel like after hearing both sides of the arguement i realize that there is so much more to it than just the side I want to hear. For example in article 4 Joel A. Harrison states "By any measure, the United States spends an enormous amount of money on health care. Here are a few of those measures. In 2006, U.S. health care spending exceeded 16% of the nation’s GDP. To put U.S. spending into perspective: the United States spent 15.3% of GDP on health care in 2004, while Canada spent 9.9%, France 10.7%, Germany 10.9%, Sweden 9.1%, and the United Kingdom 8.7%. Or consider per capita spending: the United States spent $6,037 per person in 2004, compared to Canada at $3,161, France at $3,191, Germany at $3,169, and the U.K. at $2,560."
It is obvious that the U.S. spends a lot of money but the point is what are these people doing to help our problem?
