There are so many issues in the world that do not come to a simple single conclusion and there are many reasons that they can not come to a single conclusion. Most of the time the reason for this is because the topic is so complex that it really needs a complex solution. There is one huge debate that is going on currently that I believe will not come to a single conclusion or a conclusion at all: The Health Care reform.
In an article that I was reading from CNN, they stated that both the Republican and Democratic parties keep arguing about what outcomes they want from this Bill they are trying to pass. (http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/03/01/obama.health.care/index.html?iref=allsearch). They can’t seem to come to any agreement when it comes to this situation because they can’t successfully reason cogently. They need to start realizing that people are at stake when it comes to this situation, especially those who are receiving Medicare or those who are paying for their own insurance.
There is the Republican side that states if we change things now we are going to be paying higher taxes and not really see a benefit from this reform. In this video it states that most people think they are going to be receiving free health care insurance through the government, but do not realize that people will have a huge increase in their taxes. (http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2010/03/06/gop.weekly.address.03.06.rnc?iref=allsearch). I believe that people should be in control of their own medical issues and if they want medical insurance. I also believe that if someone wants to pay for their own health insurance they should be allowed to do so. We recently read an article about how the Federal Government is trying take everything over, and this would be a perfect example if it actually happened.
The Republicans do not look at the amount of people who are uninsured vs. the amount of people who are insured. There has been a significant decline in the amount of people are insured because the cost of health care has gone up tremendously. This is where the Democrats have their reasoning for trying to pass the Bill. In recent economic times it is very common for people to be living paycheck by paycheck, which means they have no income to pay for their own health insurance. If the government comes up with a plan to help out the American people obtain health insurance then everyone will be insured. Every person should have the right to go seek medical attention if they need it and shouldn’t have to pay through the roof for it.
I believe that it is important for people to seek medical attention when it is needed and I think it is a good point that our government is trying to step in for those people who cannot afford it. However, I think that people who can afford it and are happy with their plans and their tax levels shouldn’t have to pay the higher taxes to get insurance that isn’t as well as their current insurance. I pay for my health insurance and have no problems with it. In this article it states they want to try to pass a 1 trillion dollar bill for the health care reform, should I have to contribute my tax dollars to pay for an insurance that is worse than my current one?
