Here in the United States we have had an ongoing problem for many years now regarding our healthcare. Costs have been steadily climbing for over a decade and many people have been affected by these increasing costs.

A few years ago the Affordable Health Care for America Act was passed. This bill was drafted to help address some of these out of control costs and to help every American get reasonably priced health insurance.

Obviously this bill has been under incredible scrutiny from the congressional debate process to the President signing it into law. Legal challenges have been filed regarding some of the constitutionality of pieces of the bill, like the mandate requiring all citizens to purchase health insurance. It could be a very long time before all of this gets resolved through our court system.

I admit that there are portions of this bill that I do not like, but there are parts that I do. Personally I’m glad that something was actually done to address the health care industry situation because it has been spiraling out of control for too long. There is plenty of opposition to this bill as is but, honestly, how many bills get passed by our legislators that everyone agrees with? It’s kind of impossible in my book.
