A very well made point given by What in the U-S-A is going on?!. When I first got here, my uncle gave me a small card with my name on it. I was wondering what is the use of it and he told me that, that is a health insurance. Insurance is a big thing here in America, specially health insurance. When I got here by December, I always heard the news about the new health care law the government will implement, the Obamacare. At first i thought that it was a good thing, and i questioned why do people don't like it. Even though I've read some articles and news about ObamaCare, I still don't understand it as a whole. Many Americans are still confuse with this new health care law; now they want to hire people just to explain it to you (i thought, why not just make it plain simple in english so that people can understand it!) paying $40- $50 bucks an hour. It is just crazy. But what it really looks like to me now, is another way for the insurance companies and government to get more money from the people. Many people were opposed to it, it is invasion of the government. Obamacare was supposed to help, its goal is to help people to get more coverage for hospital and medical bills, but it turns out, it will cost a lot more money to those who are healthier and younger folks. I still think Obamacare is a win-lose thing. The government and insurance companies wins, and normal/average people lose.
