Not-So-Good Healthcare or Obamacare?

This new health bill that has come out has been quite a controversy since it's inception.  I can't claim to know everything about the bill, but what I do know does not seem to be very positive for the American people.  I also can't vouch for our current healthcare system either.  There are many problems with that too.  So let's look at some facts and see what we have.

 I know this can be a sensitive subject for some, so I will try to lay this down as lightly as possible.  I first think that it is strange that the Obama administration pushed this bill so hard and tried to get it passed so quickly.  The healthcare system is not something you can change over night (which it won't, but...) and neither should it be something taken lightly.  I personally feel it should have been thought out better and that the planning process had been more structured and transparent.

 I do agree with one thing; we definitely need an overhaul with the healthcare system.  Prices are not going down anytime soon and healthcare cost continues to rise.  It is getting harder and harder for even companies to provide health benefits to their employers.  Just seeing a doctor could cost 100's of dollars and going to the ER is easily in the 1000's.  This I know.  I see it every day at work.  Our current system just isn't working.  But what is the solution to this?  Is the new healthcare bill going to help at all?

There are a few things in this bill that might be worthy of the people's demands, but most of the bill and the general concept is not acceptable.  This new system is based on models in Europe and Canada and is grossly like a socialistic system.  I have friends and family in Europe and Canada and all of them have more negative to say about the system than positive.   There are several states that have ruled this bill to be unconstitutional.  This is partly due to the fact that part of the bill requires people to get insurance and the government is meddling too much in the American people's lives and not giving them the freedom to choose for themselves.

It all boils down to this.  Our country is in dire need of a major makeover of our healthcare system.  The Obama administration had the right idea of looking at this problem, but may have tried to solve it too quickly.  This might be just a bandaid on a gaping wound and could later give our children and children's children gangrene.  I hope this doesn't come to that, but we will see soon enough.
