I have found that a large amount of the articles I am finding are the same or follow the basic outline. This article was pretty "blah" when it came to information. It had some good quotes for me to use in a presentation. I really liked the short quote that explains Universal Coverage. It's a very short explanation but would be good for someone who doesn't really know anything about socialized medicine.
It brought up the point that Obama's plan will not affect the currently insured. Which is good in the fact that they will not be affected in a negative way but the level of their healthcare will not raise. I believe that Obama should take control of Health Insurance companies and give them a healthcare orientated agenda, not a profit-making agenda.
This article also brought up the point that it would not be fair for illegal immigrants to use the healthcare that is paid for by American citizens. Right now, hospitals have to give emergency care to anyone who requires it, despite citizenship.
With a effective Socialized Medicine, people would not have to choose between their house or the life of a loved one. That is a decision that should not have to be made.
The horrible healthcare in the United States is one of the reasons for the state that the economy downturn the US is in.
One con of a government run Universal Coverage system is that taxes will have to pay for, which means that taxes will have to be raised. That my sound bad, but you wouldn't have to pay for Healthcare anyways.
For my next blog, I hope to be able to get one that doesn't just explain Universal Healthcare but goes beyond that in a way that gives me more information
