Decades of change acknowledged, but not all votes on hand...
With health care dominating headlines for the past nine months, it looks as if the trail head is approaching. President Obama made his third trip in the past week yesterday, while House Democrats continue to push for votes. In a bill that will spend over $100 billion dollars per year and wording not quite fitting for some, votes have been hard to persuade.
If passed, the changes would shock a system that has gone multiple decades without considerable changes. Outlining the ability to ensure 30 million currently uninsured American and banning refusal of coverage to those with pre-existing conditions highlights the controversial bill. Republicans condemn the bill harshly as a takeover bill that will lead to higher premiums and less consumer choice.
