In Response to Health Care

In blog five, John Muraida reviewed President Obama’s recently passed health care bill in his political weblog, Texas My State. He makes note of the disconcerting factor that Texas is predominantly a Republican state, and, in result, many are in protest, declaring the new law as unconstitutional.

John and I are in agreement in that we both believe the particular stance Republicans are taking is quite ambiguous at the least. Conservatives argue that the “baby killer” bill is in fact “government takeover of health care,” reports the New York Daily News. I, as most liberals, beg to differ. President Obama’s health care reform bill has revamped the nation’s medical system for the better, and as Rep. Carolyn Maloney effectively states, “Every President since Teddy Roosevelt has wanted to pass health reform. It's a wonderful achievement.”
