Week 5 EOC : Health Care Reform

The governmental healthcare reform is completely unnecessary. Those facts are very easily pulled from the US Census available to view at http://pubdb3.census.gov/macro/032007/health/h01_001.htm . First off only 46,995 out of 296,824 didn’t have any health coverage. But they are mostly for unnecessary reasons. First we can mention the 8,661 who are under the age of 18. There are many assistance programs available to those in need under 18 to obtain health insurance from the government already making any reform for them completely useless. That brings the numbers down to 38,334. The next 27054 are people between the ages of 18 and 44 which for the most part really aren’t in desperate need of health care and should mostly be in good health already and working with the option of healthcare. Once again making reform for them completely unnecessary and bringing the numbers down to 11280. Is it starting to make any sense yet? The next 10737 are between the ages of 45 and 64 and should be in the years of prime income earning. That brings numbers as low as 543. The rest of those are people over 65 who receive social security and also already have healthcare. Who does that leave left you ask? The answer is very clear NOONE! Yes there are the few exception here and there and in-between. The question you should ask yourself is Does that make it necessary to reform the entire healthcare system in the United States? Of course the answer is no. There is no point to fix something that isn’t broke. The bottom line is that there is absolutely no point to reform the healthcare system when you look at the numbers and facts.
