I believe even though some healthcare reform would be prudent, Obama's Healthcare Reform Bill may not be a fix all. Many feel it would cost too much, and that the level of care we receive in America is far superior to that received in most countries. In some instances people who were supposed to receive the most benefit, are the people most vehemently opposed to this Bill. ie:(recipients of medicare); With the potential cost of prescriptions increasing 5% by 2011 and again increasing by 15% in 2019. There is also the opposition by healthcare professionals, who already have become overworked and possibly will be taking a cut in pay, as well as, having to meet quotas. Seeing as many as 8 patients an hour would severally diminish the quality of care provided. There is also the aspect of over reliance on government, a government ran healthcare system would set a presedence for future reliance on government ran programs, instead of private enterprise where a majority of our workforce is presently employed leaving great concern for Americans not currently or prospectively seeking government assistance; as the ones who are receiving benefits through government funded resources will, in the long run, be most beneficial to Obama's Healthcare Reform Bill.
