Raising Prices

            Since the ObamaCare health care has been launched eight million American citizens have signed up for the new program in about six months. This is a low number compared to what President Barack Obama and former Secretary of Health, Kathleen Sebelius, expected. But after new numbers came out recently showing that costs for state governments to fund ObamaCare is skyrocketing and government officials are showing their rage for this new insight and they are calling for an entire overhaul of ObamaCare.

            Taxpayers are taking a huge punch after some new numbers about how much ObamaCare expenses costs for each state for each person that signs up for ObamaCare. According to FOX News, Hawaii has taken the biggest blow with each person costing almost $24,000 in federal funds. That is almost three times more than any other state in the United States. The average for the United States for each person is just under $1,000. Also, with only 8,500 people signed up for ObamaCare in Hawaii the program cannot be self-sustaining. In Hawaii alone ObamaCare would need to have 150,000 people to keep the program running smoothly. Obviously this is not the answer for health care and is actually costing the state government more money than it did before.

            Not only has it cost the government more but it has cost the normal person’s health care insurance to rise significantly. Deductibles have almost doubled and some people are even losing their insurance because of ObamaCare. The situation is becoming worst as time goes on. Nothing is being accomplished and money is being wasted on something that has not worked at all in the first seven months of the program being launched. Even though universal health care would be a major help to everybody in America it just cannot be done. This has been demonstrated in Canada. Health care is available for everybody in Canada but taxes are way higher than here in the United States. The money to pay for these programs have to come from somewhere and it all comes from the people. No matter what the citizens in the country do they will always be paying for it in some way, shape, or form. Higher taxes would lead to economic depression because people wouldn’t have as much free money to spend as they pleased. This would just cause more problems than anything else.

            ObamaCare has been proven over and over again to fail in some way. Nothing can come good from this program and should be overhauled before any more damage is done. The way health insurance was presented before ObamaCare might not have been the complete answer but it is defiantly better than what is in place now and it should be changed as soon as possible.
