OBAMACARE
Back in August, part of Obama's healthcare law was declared as unconstitutional which halted the law in its tracks. This declaration didn't completely strike down the plan, but it will have major effects on the official Supreme Court ruling (which is expected to be in June 2012). The Obama administration is pushing for an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court after the declaration by the appeals court. But in the few days since the administration called for an appeal, 26 states have already vetoed the law.
Universal healthcare will be the most important issue for the upcoming 2012 election. President Obama has been working toward getting his law passed since 2010, but the law has hit major roadblocks. With the 2012 election coming soon, Obama needs to get a win in order to get reelected.
The issue of universal healthcare has been extremely controversial. The liberal minded are seeking to expand healthcare in order to provide coverage to all citizens and residents of the United States. Passing the law will require states to provide healthcare coverage to all of its legal residents which will increase their burden.
The idea of universal healthcare doesn't mean that the government will be paying for the expensive healthcare for all citizens and residents. It just means that all citizens are required to have healthcare, which is where the American people have to question, how will they pay for it? Where will the money come from? Will current citizens who are hard at work have to fund the healthcare vendetta through taxes, just as with Social Security? Then again why should people who cannot afford healthcare, be forced to purchase it?
Americans fear that if the law goes through, their expenses for insurance will go up while the overall healthcare coverage will go down.
