Barack Obama's plan to stop families paying fortunes for required medical assistance and overly expensive health insurance has finally gained some momentum since the debate begun. It marked a critical turning point in the attempt to re-structure America's failing health care plan. As of now, the USA is the only major industrialized nation without a solid health care plan, leaving 50 million people (which, by the way, is about 1/6 of the American population) without access to medical help that they need. The bill would make major changes to America's $2.5 Trillion health care system, including the requirement that all individuals buy health insurance or pay a fine. It also outlaws Insurance companies charging more when someone becomes seriously ill, or default on payments altogether.
This is finally exactly what America needs to fix it's health care system. 50 million is a huge number of people that can't get health care, and this is the correct way to go to allow more freedom to the system. Before this, insurance companies were greedy. President Obama mentioned in one of his speeches on health care reform a woman who needed surgery to remove a double breast cancer, but her insurance defaulted because she didn't say when applying that she had a case of acne. This is definitely a major step forward for America's health care system.
