Let's talk about the elephant in the room: Health Care Reform. READ HERE FOR A SIMPLIFIED BREAKDOWN. From what I understand, and I really don't understand any of it, is government-issued health care (Medicare) fixed and defined, with regulations on everybody else. It also benefits people who make less than 30k/year. As well as people who are already sick. Or old. Or sick and old and poor.
The big worry I have encountered so far is that everyone has to get insurance or pay penalties. This seems bogus, but shouldn't you have insurance anyway? I think that the Tea Parties really exploited the Walmart shopper in all of us. If we don't have to spend money on something we need, then why spend it? That seems to be in between the lines of every Obama-is-Stalin anti-HCR page I've Googled. Then there's this whole "I'm insuring lazy n-words who don't want to work!" Yes, that is true to a point. But one really have to understand: you are also paying for people who need it, too. Everyone pays for people who cheat the system, but you don't see people protesting this directly.
Don't think that I'm being entirely a Democrat on this subject. My big worry is where is this money going to come from? My view on HCR has drastically changed since I got insured through Pearson. I don't qualify for anything that was changed and I don't see it's immediate affect on me. But who is going to pay for everything? All the information I find on it is from extreme-sided individuals of the Republican persuasion, and I can only trust them on a Wikipedia-based level (never any credible sources, just information they heard John Beck and Rush Limbaugh vomit out). The Democrats are just as bad too: they acted like Obama parted the Red Seas to deliver a Falcon Punch into Ramses' pregnant wife's belly. But really, what was done doesn't affect me... and I don't know anyone who it's going to affect immediately other than my family, maybe?
I am really afraid to hear anyone's opinions on this matter in person. All I have heard in person is worry and uncertainty, aside from the extremes of screaming about Socialism & how Obama has saved the children (but not the British children). The best analogy I can think of is hearing the overly loud and verbally obnoxious gang-banging teenager on a bus. You can't drown them out and you can't tell them to shut up. You just have to suffer until either you or he gets off the bus. This is very true about politics and the media: they only show the loud, belligerent and very uneducated people. In the end, it comes down to the ratings and the issues and having that one interview that gets into the history books. Unfortunately, this is all with the backdrop of a very confusing and overwhelming health care reform that I'm not entirely sure we needed.
I'm stepping off the soap box. Here's a picture.
