The health care reform bill was passed by the House of Representatives on November 7. With the passing of the health care bill, president Obama hopes to have the bill approved by the Senate and eventually led to the bill becoming law. The health care bill will hopefully enable people to not be denied healthcare coverage because of previous condition, age, gender, or medical history. President Obama is optimistic about the healthcare bill, "I look forward to signing comprehensive health insurance reform into law by the end of the year". "However, Republicans and an independent senator who sits with the Democratic caucus signaled Sunday that difficulties remain for Obama on his top domestic priority." The healthcare bill, although, has various hurdles to overcome, such as passing through the Senate. Americans hope that this bill will eventually become law to help people throughout this country.
In my opinion, I'm glad that the healthcare bill was passed because this program will really help Americans who are uninsured and those who are poor. I hope the Senate will pass the bill and make it a law because I think it's horrible how health insurance companies are turning people down because they have prior injuries, or due to their age and gender. I believe that everyone has a right to live and in order to live, people need to have good health care. I don't understand who people can turn people down when they are in need. It seems today that all people want is money and power. They don't care about who they are denying health care to. I agree with what president Obama is trying to do with making the United States have universal healthcare.
