Health Insurance for All

Regional Articles » Health » Health Insurance for All

Heath insurance has become a main topic of conversation in everyone's lives, over the past few months. There are about 50 million people that are without medical insurance today, and the government, although wanting to provide insurance for all, can not agree on the terms of how this goal can be met. While they are arguing back and forth, these 50 million people remain uninsured and unable to obtain much need medical attention. Many of these individuals continue to apply for medical coverage, but when they receive their final cost, they are unable to afford it on the budgets that they have.

There are too many cases of individuals and families in America today that are being forced to live without the medicine they need to get healthy and/or remain healthy. In addition to all of those who cannot afford the medicines they need, there are numerous cases of people who cannot afford necessary surgeries. Americans should not have to choose between paying rent and buying food for their families, or paying for the medical treatments they need.

The U.S. government already has health care programs in place to assist those who do not meet certain income qualifications; however these programs do not cover all of those who need assistance. The new programs being proposed by the President and the Democrats in Congress are geared towards making sure that all Americans have health insurance, by ensuring that there are programs that everyone can afford, which will provide adequate coverage. A cheaper health insurance plan that does not provide any substantial coverage is not the answer to the problem.

Florida health insurance plans have devised a system that is providing family health insurance to all of those previously uninsured and to the recently unemployed. The Governor of Florida formed a plan with the six major insurers in the state and has successfully removed over 3 million people from the list of those without health insurance. This is quite an accomplishment and we can only hope that our federal government will be able to successfully provide health insurance to all and that they can do it in the very near future.

For far too long we have let the politicians bury critical legislation in the maze of bureaucracy that Washington D.C. is famous for. It is time that the American citizens let our elected officials know that this is no longer acceptable. Inform your elected representative in Congress that it is time that we provide affordable health care to all Americans. Not a cheap plan that really provides no coverage, but an affordable plan that will help people when they need it most. This is not a political issue, or an ideological issue, it is a moral obligation to help our fellow Americans who are dying because they cannot afford the medical coverage they need to live.
