Glad for health care without more debt

Posted April 14, 2010 11:00 pm

Passing this legislation is a sign of how mature our society is now. Many Americans have lived, and are living, without the human right of having access to health care.

We can be proud that our society now is doing something to achieve the goal of meeting the needs of the individual without so much reliance upon how much money the person is making. The health care system has been a business so far, unable to demonstrate that the health care is more important than increased profits.

Health care reform brings together the two issues: making money and meeting the needs of the Americans. I have been unable to afford health care, in spite of working full time. I am thankful I will be able to get health care insurance without having to go deeper in debt.
