What
does our future hold?
What is going to happen to this country in two or three
years when this bill is enacted? What is going to happen to the young adults
that can’t go to college because the state is spending too much money on
Medicaid resulting in a loss of educational programs? There are so many
negative impacts that Obama care is going to have on us, and the sad thing is
that we aren’t even going to know what to do when they hit us.
Our country is in bad enough shape as it is. With the new
health care bill, we are only going to get worse economically. The latest cost
estimate for Obama care’s insurance provisions is 1.5 trillion dollars over the
next ten years, which still doesn’t include a full decade of spending, since
the most expensive provisions do not begin until 2014. As the national cost of Obama
care continues to rise, younger adults are saddled with crushing taxes to pay
for it.
One of the major problems with this bill is the loss of
coverage. One college offered a plan
that costs students four hundred and forty- five dollars a year with annual
limits of ten thousand dollars. But Obama care requires a minimum cap of one
hundred thousand this year, which would increase student premiums to more than
two thousand dollars for the new level of coverage thus making coverage through
the school an unaffordable option. That’s not even the worst part. Studies show
that about one million people will lose employer sponsored coverage in the next
ten years as a result of the reform changes.
Many people argue that this bill is going to lead us out
of poverty and into a new and better era in life. John F. Kennedy states “For
man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty
and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which or
forebears fought are still at issue around the globe (197).” We as bystanders are blinded of the negative
effects of this law. We only want to think about how we will be positively
affected. Yes we are all so very thrilled that the citizens with no Medicaid will
soon be granted with it. But nowhere in
this bill does it say what will happen to us that already have a plan that we
can afford and that we like. Does it mean that we have to drop it and take
whatever plan Mr. President gives us?
“Let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a
new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the
weak are secure and the peace preserved, (Kennedy, 199).” Let us go back and remember the days when the
poor and the weak were happy and content with life as it was. There was nothing
major that they really had to worry about. They woke with the rising of the sun
and slept with the setting of it. In between the rising and the setting, they
lived. They didn’t complain because they didn’t know they had anything to
complain about. They made their own decisions with everything and they were
fine with that. Why can’t our nation be like it once was? In today’s society we
are told what to do by the government. For example, this bill. Why do we have
to be told what insurance to have (Medicaid and Medicare)? Some people are fine
with what they have now.
I believe that if we work hard enough we can do something
about this bill. Yes, there are some positive impacts. But we also have to look
at the negative ones, and it seems that there are showing to be more negative
impacts than positive. There is only so much that we can do, but as a team we
can show the higher powers that the united states is indeed a democracy and
what we want matters just as much as what the president wants.
