Obama Scare?

Another opinion on a very popular topic? Not really, just expressing my menial view. Have you heard the President say that the current state of the health insurance crisis may put the U.S. into bankruptcy? It sounds serious and overwhelming. I try not to let it get to me and focus on getting by with my life. But how am I really going to be effected and what about other people.

Lets face it are there not tons of Americans without health insurance. Don't these people need some alternative to get care when they need it. How many times have you heard someone say keep the government out of health care, isn't that Medicare. I know that most of the argument is also that Americans don't want to pay for other peoples problems. I am also finding It difficult to see why this is a problem. I see all the reports, T.V., radio, internet and just plain old gossip but who are you to believe.

How do I fit in to the equation? I am a thirty year old employed man with a steady job. The company has a good health plan, they pay 50% and the balance gets deducted out of my pay check every two weeks. It really seems like a lot of money but I know how important it is to maintain. As it stands now I don't even see a doctor so its almost not worth it, but I will someday. This is always an issue for me. If I shopped for an individual policy it would be more than likely to expensive.

That's just me, what about others who are not so fortunate. Someone that has kids, middle class and self employed. I am pretty sure this is where Obama's plan will come into play. Some people say that its the Democrats against the Republicans or the rich against the poor. If I really had to choose I would say that reform would be in the interest of most people, I think its difficult not to.

There are many pros and cons to either side and you can certainly do your homework take a stand, be heard or let the chips fall where they may. After all you can always move to Canada.

There are bunches of people that would be happy to have good individual health insurance. Decent medical insurance is one of those things that all people need.
