On September 13, 2011,Obama spoke about Health Care Cuts. While Obama has signed a willingness to make Health care spending a top source of budget savings, He has NOT sent this message to Social Security. Obama spoke about trying to raise hundreds of billions of dollars in savings in Medicare and Medicaid because the people need Health coverage and jobs. This will change the economy in a positive or a negative manner by giving more money to the Government yet having less health care for us. Medicare and Medicaid account for 23 % of the Federal spending, and their growing faster than the rest of the Budget. Health care cuts need to be part of any deal, and Obama would save 480 billion in Medicare and Medicaid in 2023. Health cuts worry Health Care Providers because it comes on the top of the new Health care Laws, which reduce payments to most providers to help offset the cost of coverage to millions.
My personal opinion about this article is I disagree with cutting Health coverage. I believe that we the people need more health coverage, so that more people are not affected by being unemployed. I believe that this article was well written, and many people could use these resources that Obama was trying to talk about. We need more jobs to open up in all States, and then the economy will defiantly turn around. On a personal note, my Mother has been unemployed for over 1 year now, and has not been able to find a job. I believe that if this goes through, there will be more of a focus on the Health care rather than the little people who need jobs. The economy will turn around in time, but how long do we want to wait.?

I agree with you that we need more jobs to help the economy. It was very well written, and I'm sorry about your mom. I hope she finds a job soon.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with what you say. He will save the money, but what will happen in those 12 years of reduced coverage?
