Today we got our blog topic for next week. It's free choice, but I'm going to do my blog on the death of Poland's president. We did our blog discussion on our health care blogs today.
-With the old system, everyone was responsible to get their own health care by where they work or going through another company. The people that can't afford health care were uninsured. The old system was too costly and if you had a pre-existing condition you did not get coverage. The cost of this new bill is close to one trillion dollars. This bill helps small businesses to provide health coverage by giving them tax credits. The amount of money you'll have to pay out of pocket will be low. By 2014 you will have to be covered! You can't be droped by insurance companies if you're sick. There will be more job offerings in the medical field. If you get laid off your job or quit you can still keep your health care. The bill does not pay for abortions. There will be some random taxes on things like tanning.
We gave some personal opinions and looked up health care on wikipedia.
