Obama care- does anyone really know what it is? I have read three articles and talked to my mom, who watches the news constantly, and I didn't really get a lot of information. From what I can gather, it's a policy to force individuals to get insurance. I would say the main concepts are the people in government are being greedy, and forcing Americans to do something they may not can afford.
On the positive, everyone will have to get insurance. There are claims, in the Bloomberg site, that cost of insurance will be lower, but I really do not see how it will be possible. It's great that someone is able to make a dollar from someone who can't afford it.
Negatively, everyone will have to carry insurance or be penalized. This, to me, is unconstitutional; we live in America and should be able to decide if we need insurance. Also in the NY Times it spoke of medicaid and medicare as if it cost the government billions to fund them. I pay in to medicare everytime I get a pay check; therefore it shouldn't be costing the government anything.
I would have to say that I'm against the Obamacare plan. I believe we as voters should have a say, we are the one's being affected by the plan. I think we should all do our duty, take care of ourselves, and not depend on someone else to take care of us.
