Health Care Bill

There has been a lot of debate about this not-so-new idea that has finally passed through the government into motion: the health care bill. It has caused a lot of harsh words from those strongly against the health care bill. What are we so worried about? I can think of the number one thing for me. Can every American actually afford this? We have single parents struggling to put food on the table. Adding another expense is, in the short run, going to greatly hurt their checkbook. Though I do believe in the long run this won't be a problem, which i will address why in a second, think about the timing of this bill. We are in a bad position to be imposing more expenses on people who have been recently laid off.
With no income coming in, another bill may cause many households to go bankrupt and homeless. I think this bill is important for Americans, but they should have waited until our unemployment dropped and our economy was picking up. Now I want to address my view on the long run of this bill. Without the people who don't pay their medical bills, perhaps the price of our health care service will drop. Not to mention, people won't be afraid to go to the doctor anymore, since they will know they are pretty well covered. Diseases and sicknesses will be treated sooner preventing the spread of these deadly viruses and reducing the impact they have on their hosts. That's my points of view. We needed this bill, but not while we are financially trying to survive.
