health care reform facts unbiased

Could someone explain the health care debate going on in Congress to me?

I haven’t been able to follow the news for about a month now, so I really don’t know much beyond the fact that no one can agree what to do about health care reform…Anyway if you could be detailed, and unbiased!, I’d appreciate it.

Barack Obama’s reform seeks to lower health care costs and ensure affordable, accessible health coverage for all. The plan aims to “improve efficiency and lower costs in the health care system by adopting state-of-the-art Health Information Technology systems; by ensuring that patients receive and providers deliver the best possible care, including prevention and chronic disease management services; reforming the market structure to increase competition; and offering federal reinsurance to employers to help ensure that unexpected or catastrophic illnesses do not make health insurance unaffordable or out of reach for businesses and their employees.”

The plan includes implementing guaranteed eligibility for affordable health care for all Americans, paid for by insurance reform, reducing costs, and requiring employers to either furnish meaningful coverage or contribute to a new public plan.

It is important to note that for the proposed plan, those with existing insurance plans can keep their plans. Obama’s plan provide consumers with another choice. Moreover, Obama’s plan focuses on keeping what’s working for the existing healthcare system and to FIX those that are not working.

List of ex Presidents who offered some reforms to the healthcare: Roosevelt (1912), Johnson Lyndon (1965), Clinton Administration (1993), Bush & Kerry’s campaign (2004), McCain & Obama’s campaign (2008).

Healthcare insurances costs had almost double in the past decades, and the costs may double again by 2030 and that leaves future generations vulnerable or unable to afford healthcare services. Unless something is done to reform the system and to rein in medical insurance costs, it may be too late, too little.

Opposition to his reform plan had nothing substantial to debate except to propagate fear through use of terms such as “Death Panels” and “socialist system” and “more costs”. None of these were ever justified but such terms influenced many people to believe in the negative outcome of the reform.
