My Theory on Health Care Reform

         After drafting my analysis post I began to theorize about how the recent health care reform bill can be revised to include provisions for both sides of this recent issue; the republicans and democrats. The polarization has arisen because of the opposition republicans present in stating that they reject any notion of government-run universal health care because of the evidence seen around the world that government-run health care causes debt and inefficiencies. In order to diminish the polarization of these varying opinions, the two parties need to come together on provisions. Both agree that every citizen should be able to stay under their parent’s health care insurance until the age of 26. Also, both call for Americans to be able to stay under their current health insurance. Where they differ is in cleaning the health care market of some available health care plans. Americans should be allowed to keep their current health care insurance if they enjoy the benefits, however Americans who cannot afford current health care should be offered health care insurance from the government. In my opinion, republicans and democrats need to educate the American public about the bill and its provisions because many are uneducated; often arguing about a bill they know nothing about. Instead of arguing about what they disagree upon, the bill needs to be put into the perspective that the current health care system in America does not work; these reforms will improve the system.
