The health care topic has been a controversial issue for many months. After reading multiple articles I selected two that helped me see both sides of the health reform. This reform due to take effect in 2014 will affect all Americans. One author thinks there will be people trying to cheat the system and the other editorial stated that people are not aware of the benefits they are eligible to receive from the health care reform because they may not know about it or how to join. However both views as I see it are different. One article states how we "need to find a way to make this work." Is this author concentrating too heavily on the reform passing? The other article states that "premiums of $5,000 to $7,000 a year are unaffordable." Both do however agree on adjustments that need to be made in order for the health care reform to be effective as it should. The authors have similar stands on the topic being they both seem to be fighting for health care, but want the flaws to be perfected as soon as possible. The second article is more convincing to me because it provides more supporting depth, and evidence supporting why they feel the health reform will work if the concentration is applied more on improvements. But how much is the government able to reform without losing too much? I believe article two provides a general idea of how it is able to happen. One example they mentioned was to make an enrollment period to sign kids up, for example. This would eliminate people from taken advantage of the system after they find out they are extremely sick and need the health care to get cheaper health care costs. I do appreciate looking at the health care reform and look into it without having already formed a solid opinion.
