As we all know, this November brings drastic change to Washington. It's the midterm elections and there are already some astonishing upsets with many incumbants of the GOP losing to members of the Tea Party. This leads some people to assume that come Election Day, the support for Tea party members that are now their party's candidates, will be able to replace the Democrats in their Majority of either the House or the Senate, if not both. If this does happen, members of the GOP have already stated many of theri ideas of what they will do regarding the healthcare reform bill that was passed several months ago.
These ideas involve everything from changing minute details inside the bill, such as how it currently states all employers must offer health insurance or be fined for not offering it, which many Republicans think is going against both the business' consitutional rights and their well-being in the sense that many smaller businesses may not be able to handle the financial stress it may impress upon them in such a weak economy. But, there is the other side, in which some candidates are saying that they want to revoke the bill all together because having a system in which every must have health care, and that businesses must provide it for them is unconstitutional and that by forcing all to have some sort of government provided health care will somehow turn us into either a socialist or even a communist society.
Personally i see nothing wrong with us have a government provided or government supplemental health care system, because in my mind, I think that everyone should be able to get the same amount of care that everyone else can, and that just because some people don't have an employer that offers it, or don't have the money to purchase it themselves that they shouldn't be forced to have to pay the full bill and then not be able to, and then see themselves spiral into a circle of perpetual debt.
