Obamacare: Universal healthcare just makes sense
Thom Tillis' webpage describes Obamacare as a "cancer"to our national economy. He says it threatens businesses, job growth and interferes with people's current healthcare plans. He says it's ridden with policies "bad for families, bad for seniors, bad for businesses and bad for the economy."
But this "cancer" could save lives.
The New York Times reported that 10 million people have enrolled in healthcare last year. That's a lot of people--more than the population of New York--despite the website's initial failure and other bureaucratic setbacks.
Unfortunately, more people don't enroll in health insurance. The NY Times published maps color-color coding the nation-wide distribution of uninsured Americans. The South is midnight purple.
Defying the Affordable Care Act encourages the status quo, which means people living without insurance, hospitals absorbing (and relaying) medical costs, and more expensive coverage for the people that do in roll. Perhaps worse, the South, the poorest region of America, would receive the most benefits from "socialized medicine."
Yes, the Affordable Care Act costs money. But our nation's health is a cost worth consideration.
