Obama's New Health Care Law and Old Americans

A health care industry consultant Robert Laszewski, a critic of the law, has said,"No one has the right to say they were misled during the campaign. For all the controversy, what (Obama) has done in health care is consistent with what he promised. It's really very close." Obama has taken a big step towards the health care of the Americans people. At old age, many Americans faces problems with health care issues as they have to stop working and depend on whatever they had deposited or saved at their younger age. Frequently they have to visit doctors and also have to admit at hospitals. But, problem arises when they ask the health insurance companies to pay for treatment, they deny pointing out many reasons which ultimately becomes troublesome for the old patients.

According to the new health care plan, most workers and their families will get private insurance through an employer. The proposed tax credits will sure help the people whose jobs could not come with health benefits and so he asked a large number of employers to contribute to the cost of coverage. The insurer of the health insurance companies must have to accept all the applications.This helped many low-income people to buy affordable health insurance coverage.

One sure out come of the plan will be that it will cover 95% of eligible Americans under the age of 65 by the year 2016, compared with 83 percent now. There is both good and bad sides of any plan that is done for billions of people. But if the majority and weak people will be benefited from such a plan, then that should be accepted in a democracy.
