Health Care Reform

Paper Summary:

This paper first explains the details of Obama's new health care plan and then examines the question of whether or not the new plan can simply be considered a new tax on the American people. The paper then traces the history of health care reform back to President Teddy Roosevelt and explores the ideology behind the Democrats' position on health care. This paper examines the concerns and potential negative consequences behind Obama's health care reform and analyzes it from both the Republican and Democratic parties' point of view.

From the Paper:

"The topic of health care reform and its impact on society is a growing issue and should be address correctly. How will this affect company insurance policies offered to employees? The health care reform plan would gradually decline coverage for current insurance holders though companies because the mandated amount would be lowered. This would mean keeping your old policies would mean pocketing a few extra dollars from your own bank account to make up for the excess difference lost. Democrats explain that the persistent health care reform policy is to help the people, but republicans view this as a way to tax the wealthy and give to the poor. This health care reform is definitely a tax because it aims to benefit the lower/middle working class at the expensive of the wealthy 1% of Americans."
