Health Care, It Comes Down To Affordability.

Today even the middle class individuals are beginning to think the only people who can afford a comprehensive health care plan are the wealthy

. With the proposal of the health care bill many conversations can be heard saying, "I don't want to pick up the tab for those who can't afford insurance. I'm lucky I can afford my own health care tab". Costs are a valid concern but what about those who really need health care?

Current economic conditions have forced many to drop health care coverage. This is adding to the already large group of uncovered people. Each day individuals losing their jobs are joining those ranks. Those that can still afford coverage or are being covered by their employer's group plan should consider themselves fortunate. If the economy continues on its path of decline, individuals who thought it would never be them may be in for a rude awakening.

Five years ago, many of these individuals who do not have any medical coverage wouldn't have believed they would find themselves in the position they are now in. They couldn't have predicted that their employer would reduce their medical coverage benefits or put the entire burden on them. Nor would have anticipated they would not have a job at all. Times are tough and more people are seeking help.

For some unknown reason people don't seem to think that this could ever happen to them and it is difficult to fathom why. Perhaps it is because they have lead a life of fame and fortune or perhaps they are in denial that they could wind up with needs and an inability to take care of them at some point in time. But it can happen to anyone and if you think it can't well you are mistaken.

Everyone should be able to access health care when they need it. We don't live in a third world country where people are dying from simple diseases because they live too far from medical facilities or live in a place that isn't technology advanced in medical procedures. In our country, medical care is available to those who can afford it. More and more people are in the category of not being able to afford health care. Hopefully, the new health care bill will be able to rectify that situation.
