You wouldn't know that by reading posts on Facebook. I've never seen so many people complain about legislation that really isn't all that earth-shattering. It is a step in the right direction in terms of giving everyone access to insurance, which is currently not the case. Really, who can argue about getting rid of pre-existing conditions? What I don't understand is whether there is anyone out there that is truly happy with their current coverage. I don't think I've met anyone who is that pleased with the way things are. So why all the complaining today when the reform is just going to patch up some huge problems with the current system?
I know some people are concerned about the costs of covering everyone. However, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that this bill will actually save money. CBO is a non-partisan group, so their findings are truly not biased.
Can someone explain to me what the problem is exactly?
Cheryl, I wish I could explain this to you, but I have no idea why people are SO upset. Most of this plan has been proposed by Republicans. There really is nothing controversial in it. There are just a lot of crazy people out there that want to complain. As for our elected officials, they are all about keeping their jobs and not serving the public. The Republicans wanted to win to make Democrats and the Obama administration look bad. I also am extremely happy that the Democrats took the initiative (finally!) and passed the bill!
ReplyDeleteI also don't get the big deal with the Republicans. You would think people were taking away their guns.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Good one!
