I am all for health insurance. I have children. They visit the doctor, a lot. They have had a lot of surgeries, especially my autistic son. I think that it is great that, under this new bill, insurances will not be able to deny coverage based on a pre-existing condition. I don't think that a person should be required, by law, to have insurance. Yes, I think everyone should be insured. I think children should be covered. I don't think that the government should make you have health coverage. I'm not the only one. States are challenging the new Healthcare Reform Bill under the grounds that it is unconstitutional.
This bill doesn't just affect the individual and his/her rights. It will also affect the small business owner. A business owner, even one that has only one employee, will be required to insure all employees. Now, if you have time on your hands, you can read the long bill for yourself. I tried, but it is just too long for me to get through.
My concerns for this new bill are the legality of making us have insurance and how the government is going to pay for this massive program. I'm also extremely concerned about the violence and threats that have been discussed on the news this morning. Threats are being made to government officials. Bricks are being thrown into windows. This is unacceptable. Violence is not the answer. If you are unhappy with this bill, you need to write, call, and passively protest the bill. DO NOT resort to violence. This will not help the situation.
