Health Care Reform – Still in the Making

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) summarized health bill Tuesday Enterprises procedures with the words "It is a Herculean effort to be done, even if each member does not get everything he or she wants." Tuesday unveiled the latest highlight in the ongoing struggle between Democrats and Republicans to come with a cost-effective and affordable solution for the current state of health care.

While the redone Bill has shown that the Democrats are willing toCompromise, she opened the door for further negotiations to win, rather than the consent of the GOP. The Health Care Bill was originally filed by the Republicans, the magnifying glass, because the massive reform bill under a deadline was set by the Dems in undisputed control of the left and destroyed all the supposed non-partisan.

The Good

The bill has been address legitimate concerns of both sides expressed. They called for more regulation of insurance providers enhanced consumer protection andraised public subsidies for people to help complete the insurance. Baucus also decreased the amount of premiums paid in the low to middle income households by 3% (low income) and 13% (median income) to 2% and 12%. He cut the maximum penalty for families without insurance in the middle, from 3800 to 1900. The bill will also manages to keep the delicate balance to get Obama's core policy of reform, while money for health services.

The bath

Although it hasshow a Democratic willingness to compromise, but still not win over anyone from any of the other party. The most important obstacle to overcome, is still the cost. $ 856 billion (perhaps) is better for the eyes and ears than the previous 1 trillion plus bill, but the swallow is still very difficult for the Congress. In addition, the plan for the cutting of 500 billion U.S. dollars in Medicare funds see in the next 10 years. This type of cut will almost certainly have an impact on care to seniors provided. Baucusto reduce a 6 billion U.S. dollars per year fee, the plans pushed by insurance companies at 6.7 billion U.S. dollars per year, and also called for a tax on the high cost of insurance, the impact of taxes on Americans in the next decade. The problem with these types of taxes and charges is that the insurance in the hand is usually the cost back to the consumer. This could actually accelerate the problem they are trying to stop, rising costs of health care. And finally, even seemingly Baucusacknowledged a lack of protection for doctors. At this time there

There are several advantages and problems that are getting them in now. But there are more than 500 other changes to deal with this law. This continuous process could be used for a while in progress. And it seems that in the interest of America as a whole, it should. But the time constraints confirmed Nancy Pelosi said Monday: "We legislation to be adopted in a few weeks, it will be signed within a fewMonth from Barack Obama, and it will have a very positive impact on America's families. "

The Ugly

The plan in its current form, without clearly endorsed by the President. It remains unclear exactly how he feels about reform. The guidelines, which he is not already noted above, fully represented by this plan, so they ask a lot of what his final take on this bill is. The public option edition in the air. While Nancy Pelosi insists there is no bill passed withouta public option, other Democrats have proposed the provision could potentially be omitted. There is even speculation that Obama is no longer a public plan option.

And the ugliest part of this whole mess is the question of motive. Sure, we would want to know the poor and the middle class. They want affordable health insurance. You want long range. You want a better regulation of insurance companies, and they want choices. However, you do not want these improvements fundedby huge Medicare cuts threaten Senior Healthcare. And we know that the rich do not want to pay higher taxes or believe, how they should be punished for the accumulation of wealth. But what we know about the motives of the White House? If we are discussing here, are intelligently with the best solution, or to fight to gain political ground to childish? Also the idea that the Democrats seem willing to make concessions could be used against the Republicans in the next election. I amnot here to promote any conspiracy theories, but my personal opinion is that we as Americans have to keep as objective as possible, without doing whatever the party, popularity, personal preferences and demographics, what is best for the country .
