Health Care

Today a friend and I were discussing the passing of the health care reform bill neutrally, and she said it seemed to have been passed in a very 'slipshod' manner. Slipshod - characterized by a lack of care, thought, or organization. I had to agree, though it is disheartening to admit that the health of American people is being dealt with so haphazardly. Many of those I talk to don't know what the bill entails or how it will change the way Americans receive their care, which leads me to believe that politicians have not been representatives of the people. I'm not saying government-run care will be good or bad, I believe only time will tell whether the U.S. can be more successful than other countries at implementing it. I only wish the people had been informed and consulted more, instead of suddenly having something that might need fixing later thrust upon them.
