I believe it is inevitable that some type of health care reform legislation will pass through Congress and make its way to becoming law. In order to create a bill that will appease the majority, opponents and proponents must unite and find common ground. Proponents for health care legislation are stubbornly pushing for the passage of the public option which will give the government the right to provide health insurance to those who cannot afford it or to those who were denied on pre-existing conditions. The public option will more than likely raise taxes, and of course citizens are outraged about paying more money to the government. Opponents of health care reform must stop misleading the public with myths. Many senior citizens believe that health care reform will cause them to die earlier because they will not receive adequate health care. This is simply not true.
If somehow the public option could be viewed in a positive light, then I believe the subject of health care reform would be far less controversial. Proponents and opponents must unite to create a health care reform bill that betters America’s current health care policies.
