Many Republicans oppose the new healthcare bill and say it will force millions of Americans to drop insurance plans. Republicans argue that the new healthcare bill will raise premiums and do nothing to slow medical costs. In order for the bill to get passed, if no Republicans support it, it will need the support of all 58 Senate Democrats and 2 Independent Senators. This weekend, members of the Senate will gather and vote on whether the bill should have full Senate review or not. If this wins Senate approval it along with the House of Representatives bill will be consolidated and voted on by both Houses of Congress. It will then be sent to President Obama, who will either approve it or veto it. If the new bill gets approved by Obama, it will then become law and the United States will have a some form of universal healthcare.
In my opinion, I think this bill should be passed. This bill, when consolidated with the one in the House and signed into law by the President would enable millions of Americans an opportunity to have affordable healthcare. In addition, people will no longer have to worry about being denied coverage for pre-existing conditions or lifetime caps for using there health coverage. This will put Americans on a better track of living because no matter where they go or what they do, their health care will always be there. I think that this would help America more than harm it and join the other industrialized nations of the world with some form of universal health care .
