Health

So much cries for change!
by Milota Sidorova

American President Obama signed down the healthcare reform. As it was expected he would not stop until he got it passed. For the country it is the the real change. When we consider American public wasn't really into climate change, the world policy, the change of values had to explode somewhere else - domestic issues – apart Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan military problems it was a bubble called healthcare reform. Critics and defenders totally agreed, the change was needed, but that was where the common sense ended. The case became a political issue, media bubble and the public was usually led into the chaos and misunderstanding. The fight for the proposal wasn't fair at all! , one could have seen the worst accusations from mouth of those robbing the country the most. Most of the critics have already been profiting from war, oil industry in the Middle East and tried to avoid the attraction by shouting and pointing at someone else's problem.But Democrats were not playing better at all – one can still remember low minded ads overwhelming TV, billboards and newspapers. They produced massive campaign not to make the public know about the details of reform, they made a campaign by accusing the other side. It was more personal than political fight.And by that they were playing politics of the dead bug – by not listening to the public, not commenting, not publishing any information till the very last moment.Right now, the paper has been passed – and it comes to the breaking point – the change in the minds of the people.Living in Europe, it's normal to be insured from birth to death. Everyone get's federal insurance covering basi! c healthcare. The exceptional steps are funded by additional p! ersonal insurance and personal investments. Of course there have been always problems with the list of sickness and medicaments that were supposed to be covered and which not, with the bureaucracy and low level of medicare somewhere – but the idea of being covered was mutual. There has been never a fight against the common service. Ever.If you read public reactions over internet, you can see it is more philosophical – mostly uneducated users say they don't want to pay for other people, no matter in what conditions. The idea of common sense seems to be very unusual, I would say, evil in their eyes. I feel there's the policy of paying for every aspect of one's life, so people were just used to cover every surgeon, step and medicare with a check – now they don't want to pay for the group, for society.Yes, emotions! Some say it was the attack on American ambitions and sense of profit. Some say it was the attack on privacy and decision freedom. Everyone say it would not! pay more for society.But if these people were raised taxes without significant reason, they would all shut up and followed. The arguments of filling someone else's pockets is certainly not relevant – the insurance companies have already been profiting on this system. And these very same people have been filling the pockets of high society group for decades. They have the right to be angry, but they should be educated and tolerant. To realize the facts and their political leaders.For me it is also a miracle the fact of having just two and two(!) main groups in Congress for centuries. Too much simplification, too many layers of history and tradition to cover the malfunction of that system. While beating the opposite, the real problem or the solution disappears. If people would realize this point, one could have seen the biggest change in American history ever.
