Obama and The Health Care Laws

Healthcare has been on the forefront of issues since Obama was elected president. There have been many debates and angered feelings.  Obama came up with the Healthcare plan in hope of helping out his “fellow” Americans.  Was it a hit or miss? Health Care Ruleing

According to the author a judge in Florida declared the Healthcare law to be unconstitutional. As it requires people to purchase health insurance or face a penalty.  Healthcare reform is one of Obama’s biggest goals while in office and he will stop at nothing to see it through. His administration is appealing the judges ruling.  The author says Obama will continue to implement the plan because not doing so will cause irreparable harm.    The first paragraph of this article makes and appeal to every American citizen who currently has healthcare or needs to obtain health care by Obama’s 2014 deadline. 

I must say that I am all for everyone having health care but to penalize someone who does not is just crazy.  I can see how a judge would call this plan unconstitutional.  What is someone to do who cannot afford health insurance?  The plan is that all Americans have health insurance by 2014 or they will pay a fine.  The author of this article makes a valid point.  This is a subject that is touchy for everyone. Although the supporting evidence is a little lacking. He has given information from a few sources but it’s just not all there.  A comment from one person is not actually factual information and if you are attempting to have people change their views or agree with what you say then you need some sort of proof.

The overhauling of Obama’s plan developed last year hopes to expand healthcare for all but also curb spending.  The National Debt is already outrageous now throw in the cost of healthcare for all and what do you get??

The title of this article caught my attention.  Healthcare being a topic that effects everyone I thought it was a good thing someone agrees with me and thinks it is unconstitutional to make you pay a fine if you have no health insurance.  When I was a child I had a friend whose parents did not have health insurance for her.  If she was sick or got hurt they paid for things out of pocket which was much cheaper then paying a monthly premium for her. With Obama’s plan this family would be fined because they choose not to purchase health insurance.  I also understand there are those who abuse the system and expect the Government to pay for everything and that also has to be taken into consideration.
