Is the new Affordable Health Care plan really affordable and
how does it affect us?
I honestly don’t know enough about this health care plan
yet. From what I understand it is supposed to be affordable for everyone, low
income families/individuals, middle income families/individuals, etc. I wonder whether it really is because yes, it’s
great this plan is supposed to be affordable. Does that mean there will be
packed medical/doctor’s offices? If this is the case, then more people will have
to go to the emergency room to get in, which in the end will result in higher
payments. I think this could be an interesting process, but I don’t think we
will really see the results for a couple years.
I think other people would agree and disagree with me. I don’t
think enough people know exactly what this is either so I don’t know how much
they can argue whether I am right or wrong. I think other people would agree with me that
it's great there's this new plan affordable health care for everyone, but in the end is
it a good thing if people can’t get in to see their doctor because the doctors are
overbooked. I think it depends who I talk to as well. For example, I would
really love to talk to a health care professional to see if it has affected them.
It would be interesting to see if they are starting to feel overwhelmed or
accomplished because more visits mean more money for them. It is interesting.
I want to find out how busy doctors’ offices are and how it
affects them. I also want to find out if this is a better plan mainly for
individuals or families. I would like to know if it is really going to be
affordable in the long run or is it going to cost us more money by going to
emergency rooms rather than a family doctor. One question I would like to find
out too is why does the government want all of us citizens to have this “affordable
healthcare” when none of them have to? I’m hoping my research will answer all
of my questions about this confusing topic.
