We just finished our first paper and I now I am on to thinking of new topics for my next argument paper. One topic I wanted to look into was the new healthcare reform that was just passed. So I researched BOTH sides to see what I agreed with. The positives are as follows: It makes insurance more affordable by providing the largest middle class tax cut for health care in history. This helps 32 million Americans afford health care who do not get it today. Under the plan, 95% of Americans will be insured. It prevents insurance industry abuses and denial of care. On the opposite side: government has control of where we go to the doctor at. It will cost the country over one trillion dollars. Premiums will rise. I personally think that passing the healthcare bill is a bad idea. I will have to research it more though. I want to be able to decide where I go to the doctor at. If I get cancer or something like that I want to be able to choose the best doctor available not have one “assigned” to me.
