I know that healthcare is an important thing for everyone out there. Literally, it is a matter of life and death. We only get one chance on this Earth with our journey and our health is key. So, politicians(I won't get into party labels) in the House Of Representatives voted and passed a new Healthcare bill yesterday that affects us all. This bill will drastically limit the coverage that we will have, slashing funds towards Medicare and Medicaid. It will also give a significantly lower amount in funds to coverages people with preexisting conditions. It gives insurance companies the ability to raise rates based on what risk pool you are in(it is not friendly at all to the poor, sick and the elderly). It also will affect the insurance that you get from your job, giving your employer the option not to cover you for healthcare. The thing about it is that the politicians that voted for this bill and didn't even read it. It was drafted up and signed in three days without a review from them(to know what is in the bill). It also was not send out for a review of what effects the bill proposed on the public. Who has ever signed something without reading it? Most of the time, if that happens, it is never a good thing. There has been countless movies and news segments showing the pitfalls of not reading a contract. This affects everyone, except for the rich and the politicians that voted for it. There's a special provision that has the people who voted for it exempt from its coverage. That is never a good sign. They are suppose to represent us and our best interest. As they laughed and smiled like they were at an office Christmas party, representing us is the last thing on their mind. Let us shine and be heard.
