Response #10: Response to:#10 National Healthcare Act worthy of public support

I like this article because it went into more detail than the last article I had on HR 676. The last one just briefly went into it but this one looks like someone took it and looked more deeply. The only issue I had with it was that the person writing was biased towards passing the bill. An example would be "as part of its funding, calls for a modest increase in payroll taxes to replace insurance premiums". They don't explain what modest increase is, which I wish they would because I want to own how much higher the tax will be.

I was able to find some quotes that I liked. One was about how many people would like a publicly paid insurance plan. The article had many sources siting the percentage of people who wanted the healthcare as well. The other quote was that many organizations endorse this bill and hope it passes.

This article was a good help and further cemented my hope that HR 676 comes to be.
