After passing the House of Representatives, the current health care reform bill is at the Senate is being debated. Amendments are being created but the bill has not formally passed the Senate yet. If passed, the health care bill would go to a House-Senate Conference Committee which would resolve differences between different versions of the bill.
Some problems that people have with the health care bill that are currently being debated are whether public financing would be available for women getting abortions or whether illegal immigrants could receive public financing. Also, whether there would be cuts in Medicare reimbursements. That is when the federal government pays medical providers for services for patients 65 and older.
I think that after a lot of discussion and resolution of the major problems, the health care bill will be approved. Republican and Democrats really disagree on health care, so I think that it will take awhile before a resolution is created.
i cuncure with cassie. i belive that becuase the democarants and republicasn are both haveing difrant views lately realy dosent give the public any room to belive there is hoep for a fast resolustion to the congress enacting a public health care plan for all americans to make due with. finaly i think that the united states of america would be better of if the congress could pass the bill
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Cassie, the Republicans and Democrats so strongly disagree on the Health Care Reform Bill that I don't think they will pass a bill anytime soon. One thing's for sure it will be really interesting to see how the two party's come together to form one bill.
ReplyDeleteI think that there should be some changes to this bill so that it will please both Republicans and Democrats. I agree with you that this bill will take a long time to pass, but hopefully it will what the people want.
