According to an article I found in the New York Times, President Obama recently signed a bill that would provide or extend millions of low-income children with health care coverage. This was quite a victory for health care reformers, bearing in mind former President Bush, who unwaveringly opposed and vetoed similar bills during his administration. In addition to a broadened health care, the bill permits states to extend coverage to legal immigrants under 21 and pregnant women and requires states to include dental and mental care coverage as per the children’s health program. Although the bill does not accomplish ultimate health reform, it surely provides a stepping-stone towards that goal.
However, in today’s economy, it is rather difficult to be so optimistic about a universal health care system. America is still trying to dig its way out of a recession and Congress is diligently working on a stimulus package that will cost over $800 Billion! It seems like it may be a while till President Obama makes any more headway on health care reform. Although achieving health care for all Americans would be ideal and almost unreal, it looks like America needs to heal her legs before she can run again.
hahahahahahahahhhaah
