As it was mentioned
in his campaign, President Obama is proposing a government-run healthcare plan.
For most, this is good news: having a universal healthcare plan paid with
taxes. The last phrase represents the common reasoning of most Americans, which
believe this is true. However, there are a lot of hidden facts, the ones that
the Obama administration doesn’t want to show. First, the healthcare plan will
significantly reduce the salary for most doctors, which means the quality of
the healthcare will have a significant downturn. Therefore, since the healthcare
quality will get worse, and the salary of doctors, nurses, dentists and much
more will be reduced, Americans will come back to the private healthcare
corporations. This will leave public hospitals desolated and incompetent. In
the end, not many people will use public hospitals, even though they will have
to pay higher taxes for services they don’t even use. Luckily, senate Democrats forecasted that President Obama
doesn’t have enough votes to pass the healthcare reform. As Sen. Diane
Feinstein (D-Calif.) put it, “I don’t know that [Obama] has the votes right
now. I think there’s a lot of concern in the Democrats caucus”. In conclusion,
it’s the taxpayers’ money that is in risk of being wasted into something that
might make the economy go even worse.
