I believe that the health care needs reform. The health care needs reform because the way it is now with so many people out of jobs they don't have the money to pay for health care. Also the health care needs reform because it cost so much for people that may have no money in the first place. Although I don't believe that it would be wise for the health care to become government-run because I do not support the "public option" I do believe that it is a good idea for it to be universal health care.
One reason that health care needs reform is because the way health care is set up right now and with the economy and people out of jobs they have no money. For example if someone got cancer and because they were sick and out of work for so long they have now lost their job. Then they have no job, their sick with no money and have no insurance because they lost their job benefits but still have to pay the government for health insurance.
Another reason that health care needs reform is because insurance cost a lot of money and if a person has no money anyways how will they pay for insurance? If someone was out of work and doesn't have any money do they have to still pay for insurance? No, they do not have to pay for health insurance however in the state of MA they are penalized a couple hundred dollars each month for not having insurance. I think that this is not a very fair to be penalized if you don't have money to have to pay some anyways.
I believe that having health care like Canada has it could be a good idea and a bad idea. I believe that it could be a positive thing to have universal health care where no one has to pay for it however people should have a choice in what doctor they go to. Also I don't believe that would work because everyone goes to the doctor so much for nothing because they don't have to pay for it.
These are the reasons that health care needs reform and that having "public option" isn't really the best idea for a solution.
