Senate health care bill clears key hurdle- Ashton Gronholz

This is another article pertaining to the new health care bill still in limbo between the different political parties. People on both sides of the parties are for and against the bill with their own reasoning of why. The main bullet point of the article is the democrats recently "won a major victory in their push for the health care reform". The package has been revised to an $871 billion bill. The vote line was 60-40. It was casted around 1 a.m. and is keeping democrats on line to pass the bill on Christmas Eve. President Obama is that much closer to claiming victory on his push for the bill. This would be the biggest expansion of health care guarantees since medicare and medicaid 40 years ago.
The new health care bill is possibly the hardest decision Americans have had to make in the last 20 years. This being said its no wonder why people are having trouble taking sides. I myself am having difficulty siding. No one knows whether it would help the country and its people or pull us apart. There are only educated guesses on what would happen if the bill passed. Im slightly leaning towards the passing, because I strongly agree in equality and fairness. Everyone deserves the same health care even if they cant afford it. When it comes to this there should be no separation of classes, all people are created equal and its very typically for the wealthy to recieve priority over lower classes and this isnt fair. Money shouldnt separate people when it comes to health care, the severity of the illness should without a doubt be the only contributing factor.
