Pro HealthCare please help me?Ok for one of my social studies classes I have to write a debate to be pro healthcare im not really pro i dont know anything , here it is:
Pro Health Care Reform
There has been so much buzz about health care recently and as you may know Obama is the leader of it, we are here today to convince you to be pro health care
First we have two true stories about people who's problems could have been fixed by health care:
The first is about a woman named Lori Hitchcock. Lori is currently self-employed and trying to start a business, but she has hepatitis C, she cannot find an insurance company that will cover her.
The second is about a man who lost his health coverage in the middle of chemotherapy because the insurance company discovered that he had gallstones, which he hadn't known about when he applied for his policy. Because his treatment was delayed, he died.
This is happening to more and more people every day, so that is why we need to pass health care reform know.
There are four main ways the reform will provide more stability and security to every American.
1.If people don't have health insurance, the reform will give them a choice of high-quality, affordable coverage for people and there families. This will be high quality coverage that will stay with users if they move, change jobs, or lose there job.
2.Reform will finally bring sky high healthcare cost under control, which means real savings for families, businesses and our government.
3.The reform will make Medicare more efficient, so the government will be able to ensure that more tax dollars go directly to caring for seniors, instead of just putting the money into the insurance's pocketbooks.
4.The Health Care plan will also reduce the amount our seniors pay for their prescription drugs.
Some of the statistics of Health Insurance are:
1.nearly 50 million Americans don't have health insurance
2.25 million are under insured
3.that number has grown nearly 60% over the past four years
4.the amount people pay for health insurance increased 30% from 2001 to 2005
5.the income only increased 3%
6. almost 50% of personal bankruptcies are due to medical expenses
7.25% of people choose employment based on better health benefits
8.it cost an estimated $ 635,000to cover healthcare cost in retirement
9.insurance cost are outpacing income by 8 folds
10.the cost of healthcare causes bankruptcy every 30 seconds
11.1/3 of the U.S. Population has no insurance
12.health insurance is the fastest growing expense cost component for employers
13.health insurance premiums have grown four times faster than wages
If we maintain the rate , we will continue to see 14,000 Americans lose there health insurance every day
Premiums will continue to skyrocket
our deficit will continue to grow
insurance companies will continue to profit by discriminating against sick people
The presidents plan is to create a government-sponsored health insurance program that would be an for all Americans
Millions of people who don't get insurance through their employer try to get insurance on their own and are turned down because they have a pre-existing condition.

The health care reform will preserve the employer-based health care system, meaning an estimated 200 million Americans will continue to get their coverage through their employers
It will also allow people to choose their own doctors and hospitals
Health care reform will not give the government the power to make life or death decisions for anyone
Health care reform will help ensure doctors are paid fairly so they will continue to treat Medicare patients
The health care reform will help lower prescription drug costs for people in the Medicare Part D coverage gap so they can better afford the drugs they need
The health care reform will also strengthen the financial status of the Medicare program
The president and congress have committed to producing legislation that will be paid for so it won't saddle our children and grandchildren with debt
If we do nothing the share of your income spent on health care will nearly double in the seven years
IN THE END
In the end. When one in three Americans say someone in their family skipped pills, postponed or cut back on needed medical care due to the cost; when countless bankruptcies are related to medical expenses; when the number of uninsured approaches 50 million; when government spending on health programs rises so rapidly that it jeopardizes other priorities; and when employers struggle to pay for the cost of health care, the fact is we can't afford not to fix health care.
ok thats it please comment and keep in mind i have to debate about it, and yes i did make it myself, please help by giving ways to improve or tell me the weaknesses too.

I don't really know what you're asking because I just skimmed over it, but I can tell you I am a college student who is living in poverty with an incurable disease I cannot afford the medication for because I don't have health insurance.
HAAAHHH How my life has changed since 2008.

Yeah. Putting a fifth of the US economy in the hands of mindless, do-nothing bureaucrats will work.
And you might want to take a look at the surveys of doctors, nearly 50% of whom will consider leaving medical practice due to the terrible reimbursement track record of our other government programs - Medicare and caid.

We need single payer.

"Some of the statistics of Health Insurance are:
1.nearly 50 million Americans don't have health insurance"
Be careful if you're debating this. Even Obama backed off this number. 10 or 15 million of those people are illegal aliens. It's somewhat deceptive to call them "Amerians." Another 10 to 25 million don't want the insurance because they're healthy and would rather spend their money on other things.
A lot of your points are pure bushwa, such as the assertion that Obamacare will make Medicare more efficient. If the government is actually willing to make it more efficient, why haven't they already done it? What have they been waiting for? Sorry, I don't have all night to pick it all apart.
