Health
It is important that everyone cares about their own health. A healthy body and a healthy lifestyle can lead to a longer life. President Obama in particular has strong feelings regarding healthcare. He has campaigned to expand access to health care for all individuals. His first goal is to just cut health costs.
The reason why he is doing this is because if the U.S. expands all access, but does not reduce its’ costs, the U.S., in President Obama’s words “run out of money.”
There is no way to just add everyone who is not insured and load them into a system to cover their costs.“If people think we can simply take everybody who is not insured and load them up in a system where costs are not under control, it’s not going to happen,” Obama said. This is true not only for private insurance, but also for Medicare and Medicaid. Obama claims his changes will save over $300 billion in just over 10 years. Planet Berries
