HEALTH CARE REFORM
House Democrats unveiled draft legislation they said would cover virtually all of the nation's nearly 50 million uninsured, but they won't reveal how they intend to pay for their plan until later.
Republicans have criticized the plan, saying it will force tens of millions of Americans to lose their current health care coverage. The insurance industry said it has fundamental problems with the plan, but stopped short of declaring outright opposition to the overhaul. (Source: PR Newswire)
O'Neal Media Group's expert can comment:
Dr. Beth Erickson, Ph.D., speaker and author of "Marriage Isn't for
Sissies" and "Longing for Dad: Father Loss and its Impact," in light of
health care reform:
"People in unhappy marriages cost American businesses $6.8 billion dollars a year in absenteeism; preabsenteeism; higher health care costs; and more depression, anxiety, domestic violence and chemical dependency. In these tumultuous economic times, problems that are left unattended become costly to businesses' bottom lines, as well as individuals' and families' emotional health and success.
These could be addressed before people become statistics, if everyone had access to adequate health care. Health care should not be just the province of the privileged or those employed in big-enough businesses that provide health care coverage." Erickson is located in of Edina, Minn.
