The effects of the recession have not ceded yet nor have even lowered. Few months ago, the attack of the financial turn down was felt only by credit and banking institutions. Petty money for pity people is nevertheless the situation back then. Then after some weeks passed, many companies shut down and massive national lay-off of employees has been observed. And just this March, less than 100 days of the installation of President Obama, major automobile manufacturing companies expressed grief over losing their companies to bankruptcy. Today, the White House has set its foot in saving the health care of every American through the reforms some Democrats proposed in Congress. This is said to be another solution to the ailing economy.
Many health insurance companies and associations back the proposal of the Democrats in the Congress and as well as the call of the President for a health care reform.
BlueCross BlueShield Association has also expressed support for the health reform act being debated in Congress right now. Physician for a National Health Program is also positive with the moves of the White House and the health insurance proponents in the Congress. Blue Cross and Blue Shield however are basically not in accord with flamboyant reform that has no positive effect but is calling for a “right” reform rather.
For a normal American mind on the other hand, the health care reform initiated by the government will always be ineffective if there will still be high interests, high premiums, and protection on insurance companies. Though 70% of Americans, according to reports, are backing the reform, it is not clear whether they really believe in the change that the reform will give. Family health insurance wherein a singular payer is required is still the best insurance that the government could give every taxpayer.
In a matter of days, the controversial health care reform bill will be facing its fate. Though many hope that it will be passed, there is still a small stride of possibility that skeptics will get it bolted down to the bin. This now becomes a matter that will concern you and each American who dreams of having an affordable health care insurance with a wider coverage. Every American has the right to access a fair, effective, and affordable health insurance that is controlled by a law so that none would even have to dare oppressing either party – the insurer and the payer.
