Health Care Reform ("How to Stop Socialized Health Care" by Carl Rove)

In the article "How to Stop Socialized Health Care" by Carl Rove creates a new idea about what I think about health care because changing the health care system changes many things and atributes to our society. For instance one of the examples that Carl Rove uses is that "It's unnecessary. Advocates say a government-run insurance program is needed to provide competition for private health insurance. But 1,300 companies sell health insurance plans" This changes my thinking about health insurance because it is saying that small businesses or private insurers will suffer if we go to this new health care reform. If we do go to this new health care plan the government will own all of the insurance witch takes away from many of the businesses and insurers. Later on in the article Carl Rove proceeds to give another example on why we should not move to this new health care witch states: "families pay about $1,800 more a year for someone else's health care." This was a shocking statistic and changed my thinking about switching to this new health care reform, because american families or taxpayers would be paying a ton more money for not only there health care but for someone else's health care as well. I feel like this is unfair treatment and gives me all the more reason to say we should not change to this new health care reform. With changing to this new reform we would be risking many changes, many of witch can hurt us in the future for instance small businesses or private insurance being in trouble because they can no longer pay there employees with insurance plans. As well, tax prices would go up in huge amounts and only the taxpayer would be paying for it witch means that they are paying for way more then just there own health care. The article"How to Stop Socialized Health Care" by Carl Rove changes my thinking about the new health care reform to where I believe that we should not change to the new health care reform because of the dangers that it can create for our society later on.
