Health Care

So my opinion of the health care plan is that there are a lot of good ideas such as helping everyone young, old, people with or without health issues. I read one of the articles about patients in the ER being more likely to die if they didn't have insurance, this is a concern because people in the ER are all supposed to get equal help.
The health care reform has a lot of good ideas, helping people who financially are on boarder line to get medicare, not differing who pays certain amounts based off age or health, and it tries to get everyone to have health care. But there is the issue of money. How they get money and the different fees people will have to pay. One of the fees that people have to pay is that if someone in your business is on medicare you'll have to pay extra taxes for them. Also the inital money to pay from the plan all comes from people who make a certain amount of money a year... rich people. Some people don't have a problem with this, its like the modern day Robin Hood, socially acceptable discrimination. The whole plan makes people who earn in this income range have to pay extra taxes in all the changes.
The time for health care reform is now but we need to straighten out the payment plan before it can be effective.
