A recent topic that has been swept under the rug (as of all political problems) is the issue of Obamacare. For those who don't know what this plan is, its essentially a less drastic form of Socialized Health Care. Many argue that this puss to implement this by president Obama is an outrageous and unconstitutional move. Others believe not so much.
Of course this boils down to Republicans and Democrats (big shock, right?)
But I believe that the answer lies not within one radical point or another.
Simply, is Obamacare a presently good idea?
No.
We most definiently do not have the resources to do so. Our Economy can not afford the kind of spending that comes with it. We are already in massive debt from the 2000's "War on Terror". In no way with Obamacare benefit the country before harming it.
President Obama has no experience or skilled plan to effectively carry out this reform at the time.
We, as a country, can not afford it with the turmoil that is going on in the world presently.
But, in due time, a system similar to Obamacare can be very beneficial. Socialized medicine and health care is a necessity for the middle to lower class. In a country where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, some people cant afford medicine or hospital bills. A single mother who works 3 jobs, is on welfare, and food stamps, can still barely keep a roof above her children's heads. God forbid that some accident at work causes her to break her arm and now the hospital bill is so large that now her kids cant eat for a week. That is why Socialized Health care will be beneficial if done properly.
The humanity to help others who can not help themselves is a dying act in this world. Of course we should not endanger our country the way Obamacare will, but perhaps we can find another alternative to Socialized Health Care.
Maybe one day, those in the lower class can live without the fear of crippling debt from a crippling injury.
