Health in US

There has been a long needed health care reform in the US and now that it has finally come through it has left its citizens working out the pros and cons. Like in any kind of system there will be the pros and the cons but what really needs to be weighed is that the pros are far more than the cons.

The bill has those adult children until the age of 26 will be covered under their parent’s insurance plan. This does not change whether the child is married or unmarried, a student or not. This is beneficial as they can stay under the main plan and need not go looking for a new one.

For long people with pre-existing conditions were discriminated against by the insurance companies. Thereby, any man or woman with any kind of preexisting health condition will be able to get adequate insurance for them. This will leave them covered.

Every employee will have to provide health insurance coverage for their employees and will be given a whole lot of tax benefits and cuts for that. Also, the employees will be able to keep their work-related insurance even after they move to another job.

In case of those people who are unemployed or are not covered by their employers then they will have to sign up for some kind of health insurance coverage. This can be easily done as there will be plenty of government run health insurance kiosks that will facilitate the getting of the most cost effective of insurances.

If one does not have insurance then one is liable for a penalty levied by the government. This will serve as an adequate amount of motivation to get them the insurance.

The health reform bill is going to affect all Americans in whatever walk of life they are in. you might be a family, a young professional or a senior citizen, a small business entrepreneur, the bill is sure to touch your life for the better.

For the senior citizen it gives them accessibility to medical aid even in the rural areas. Also, the prescriptions and many more facilities will be free of cost for them. The preventive care and annual checkups are a boon for them.

The only major concern that haunts the health reform bill is the money that is going to be needed to bring in so many millions of people into the insurance scheme. This will only go on to increase the tax burden on the people. This is what people don’t want as they are already burdened under the ever growing taxation, loss of jobs and recession.

The tax that is levied might become a stop to people making healthier choices for their health insurance. There are several challenges and adaptations that need to be made in the new system. But, once this is done, the health reforms can work to the benefit f the citizens given a chance.
