The Healthcare Bill

I disagree with this article from the Huffington post.The article Title is “Health Care Victory was a Historic achievement for women” the article says “we'd given voice to the injustices that women face when securing health care: being asked to pay more for the same exact coverage as men, being denied care for being a victim of domestic violence, or for having had a C-section, or even a yeast infection... in short, for being a woman.” Saying that this effects woman more than males isn’t right, Just as many males are rejected health insurance for reasons that affect their gender as well. Picking out a few who were denied health insurance doesn’t mean that this is a problem that is going to happen to any woman who has a c-section. There could be several reasons why the women were denied for health insurance. For example, the health insurance plan they had could have been really bad or going under in this economy.
The article then moves onto giving an example of a family who had to sell their house because the dad got cancer and had to get treatments that they couldn’t pay for. The new bill says that everybody has to have health insurance and won’t be denied it. So what’s going to happen when a person has healthcare and gets cancer that requires expensive medical treatments that they can’t afford? Having health insurance doesn’t mean that they will or have to pay for everything. You can still rack up a huge debt in medical bills with health insurance.
The article ends with how this bill will produce many jobs and will reshape our economy. This bill may produce some more job opportunities, but who will pay for the lower class people who can’t afford to pay for themselves? The government isn’t going to do it. It will come out of the pockets of hard working people that are trying to take care of their own families.
