My Two Cents: Obamacare

Does everyone remember learning about the Industrial Revolution? About how most of the population during the that time were poverty stricken and living in abysmal conditions due to factory owners who cared more for money than for the people who made their money?

Well this scenario is happening all over again with healthcare. The only difference is that as a nation we decided to uphold the rights of the working class during the Industrial Revolution. This is not the case today.

Obamacare plays right into the hands of the insurance company and the nation for the most part went blindly along with this because the vast majority of Americans are not educated enough about healthcare in general. Insurance companies raise their rates so high that it's sometimes impossible for families to buy insurance. So, since when is Obamacare affordable? Since when is Obamacare universal healthcare? What Obamacare does is force people to buy healthcare they can't afford. What do you think that's going to do to the thousands of families who are already suffering from job loss, unemployment, and a many other economic problems?

What's wrong with the debate of Obamacare is that people aren't seeing this as an issue that is for everyone. Healthcare is not a democrat vs. republican issue. It isn't a group of people vs. another group of people issue. It's an issue that affects every single one of us individually. This issue is based on people having money as a priority rather than other human beings.

What the Supreme Court decided is appalling. Healthcare is a product not a tax. It's kind of like saying that everyone must buy a computer because the government says so. People should have the right to choose whether they have healthcare or not. Even better everyone should just be covered for healthcare like in Canada or in some European countries. We should all just pay together for healthcare because it's cheaper that way. It's like when a bunch of people pitch in to get a gift for a friend. You can get a better quality gift that way because more people are involved in spending the same amount of money you would have on that crappy whatchamacallit from the dollar store.

Don't let your healthcare be a crappy whatchamacallit from the dollar store that costs as much as a Gucci handbag.
