Coming Soon... Health Care Reform

Obama recently addressed the debate over health care reform guaranteeing people that a health care reform will get done in no time. He has recently been struggling to regain force on a bill that would extend health care coverage to almost 50 million Americans who don't have health insurance and face extremely high costs. Opponents have overwhelmed supporters for the past month in town halls all around the country and public supporters for Obama's health care reform have recently reduced in public opinion polls. He also addressed untrue claims that a new health care reform will provide health care for illegal immigrants, create "death panels" and pay for abortion with taxpayers' money by simply saying that we must "cut through the noise and misinformation" and continue "pushing the truth." I think it's important for everyone to know what exactly this health care bill would do before they start protesting or complaining about something that isn't even true because it just makes them look like ignorants. He admitted that health care is the toughest fight he has faced in office since becoming president as he faces many opponents who insist that any type of health care reform must include a government-run insurance option and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared that the House of Representatives won't pass any bill without it. But Obama assured everyone that he is doing everything he can to create a bipartisan plan where both parties can come to an agreement. Who knows when they will finally come to an agreement but it will hopefully come really soon because many are waiting for a health care reform to happen now. While Obama is still looking for Republican support, Democrats are preparing for a one-party push they feel is inevitable.

This health care reform is what we all have been waiting for. In this speech Obama will give more details on what the plans are going to be. He has to pass a law that will help millions of people with their health care.I agree that this refoem shoul help immigrants but I dont know about paying abortion with taxpayers money, i mean many of them will not agree with that. Hopefully this speech will end up with a good result and help out those in need for health care.
