The health care changes

In the past couple of months there has been a big ordeal about the changes the Obama administration is iniciating in the health care system. There have been acusations that he is trying to have the elderly end their lives sooner. Well that acusation is absurd this is America people we all have the right to Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of happyness. Now im apposed to most everything the Obama administration is working towards, but outlandish slander and libel like that is not the way to sway the minds of government officials. Another acusation is that we will have a healthcare system like Canadas, this is also wrong. Now in simple terms the plan will make it illegal for any American citizen to go without healthcare, much like car insurance for lisenced car owners. It will not allow insurance companies to denie coverage for any reason, or cut a persons coverage for any reason, except failure to pay for the coverage. The government will also create a cheaper form of insurance for persons with low incomes, this will not be a free program like medicade or medicare. Any person all ready covered by an insurance company will be allowed to keep their exsiting plan. Companies will also have to provide employees with coverage. This will take around four years to put into full effect, but that provides people with the time to adjust. Now to me this sounds fair and benificial to our country.
