The antagonists and protagonist are preparing for a big fight for the approval of the Health Care Reform Bill which they are going debate for final passage. And for the Public Health Insurance Option, it is almost dead or does it? To some congressmen in the lower legislature are still hopeful they can squeeze the public option which will be run by the government. Public health care should be encourage and be included in the final bill.
The problem with the public health insurance option is that too many Americans are opposed to it. They do not like it but the argument is really not helpful as most of these lawmakers who oppose the public health care option are those that are probably gotten to the big pharmaceutical lobbyists echoing the same sentiment.
I just hope that these million dollar lobbyists will be controlled and do not have the controls over these lawmakers.
The fact of the matter is, there are so many people who doesn’t have health insurance and without the public option they will never get any health insurance even the basic ones.
While lawmakers in both the lower and the upper house are preparing for the final spar, it has to encourage that did should include some form of health insurance for the poor. After all, it’s the poor people are who are suffering in all of these.
Thanks
With the news of Senator Ben Nelson not yet in favor of the health care reform bill, the Democrats badly needed his vote to make the 60 votes needed to prevent the filibuster from the Republicans.
Sen. Ben Nelson withheld his vote because he needed to see more stricter rules on abortion and unless it is modified he is withholding his vote. This bill is fully supported by Pres. Obama.
The problem of democrats to get this done before Christmas become unrealistic when when Sen. Olympia Snowe said after a meeting with the President that the timetable given is “totally unrealistic” According to the AP Associated Press news from yahoo news online.
This has put any chance of getting some form of publicly funded public health insurance option for people who cannot afford it. With the strong lobbying by big insurance companies for the bill not to pass has makes things worse for the President and the Democrats who have tabled this bill.
Without the public health insurance option or public health care option on the table or on the bill, it will be hard for those 47 million or whatever the number is, to get any decent type or form of health insurance.
This will most likely not going to pass the Senate floor before the Christmas timetable that Pres. Obama has said.
I just hope that these Senators will have some kind of a compromise to this historical health reform bill so that Americans can get what they deserve.
Thanks
Now the Public Health Care Option vote is finally in! The Bill is Passed!!!! the yea is 220 votes and the nays is 215!
Just 5 votes differential…. Give your opinion and voice as what does this means…
Does it really matter big time? and will this really hold for the long haul? this public option health care might not be good in the long run as the government may be cash strapped to maintain and sustain such a huge government spending. Will this kill all those private health care providers who are part of the engine of the economy?
There are too many questions about how this public health insurance option will work.
The pros and cons of this debate needs more attention than ever!
The far right is saying or contending that if the public option health care run by the government, it will become in direct competition with the private sector and thus kill this health insurance companies. But does this really going to happen?
And the far left is saying that this can get rid of all the bad or devilish practices being done by the private health insurance companies and will put a stop to this bad practices.
To get a better understanding of how this whole health care run by government, we need to know the details on how they pal to run it and how the financing will of this government run health care program.
But the problem is there is nothing said or written about how they plan to make this work and running.
