The Truth and Lies of Obamacare

All humans are prone to sickness, diseases and ailments which threaten are very existence. We do have a choice to apply for an insurance which will guarantee health assistance in times where we need medical attention. But research showed that the cost of health care premiums have double over the course of 8 years and will again be doubled over the next decade making more people less capable of getting an insurance plan. Pres. Obama then introduced the Obamacare health plan in order to provide a reform in the flawed health insurance system of the United States of America.

The Obamacare will improve and modernize the U.S. health care system in a way that all citizens will have the capacity to avail of an insurance premium. It aims to protect the financial health of families by reducing the costs being paid by families and businesses for health care. It also aims to promote the universality of health care covering all Americans if possible. It will also eliminate the notion that for one to secure health coverage, one should be locked unto his/her job. No American shall be denied from health coverage.

The bill claims that it will bring down the cost of medical care. Despite of the many wonderful guarantees that this bill introduced, the reality is far from how it should be as certain flaws are found. A new book entitled “The Truth About Obamacare”which was written by Sally Pipes explains to us what Obamacare is all about. Government-run health systems are very attractive as they are cheap and very affordable by most citizens. The downside may lie on the quality of health service which is often unnoticed by the media.

In Britian which implements a government-run health care system, there are over 4000 expectant mothers who gave birth to their children at unexpected places such as hallways, bathrooms and even elevators. The widespread neglect of patients from proper health service is already a growing concern in Britain. The Obamacare may in fact cost less but will also degrade the quality of service get. It will also reduce your freedom to choose as it is compulsory to all Americans.

The media often claimed that the U.S. has a higher infant mortality rate compared to other countries who has implemented government medical-care systems. What the media don’t know is that America do count babies who died while other countries do that. If the media will not tell you that, then Obamacare will also not. There are a lot of implications that the Obamacare doesn’t simply tell people about it. Then there is also the issue with regards to freedom of choice.

Imagine if you are young, healthy and don’t want to get health insurance. You are starting up a small business and need to cut on cost to pay for startup expenses. And one way to do it is to forego and ignore health insurance. Despite of your decision to avoid any health insurance, the Obamacare tells you that you should subscribe to it by paying $750 annually. It has removed the freedom that was previously enjoyed by millions of Americans.
