There are many effects that the new bill will have for people in America. Some are good. Some aren't so good. That's something that everyone is talking about. So, what are some of the Obama effects on individual health insurance? Since this is the hot topic of the times, we thought you might like to do some reading about them. One of the first ones is that he is making businesses more responsible for offering health insurance. For some, they just can't afford it or are worried about budgets if they do give this. However, with the new tax credit for small businesses that give health care, then it will be all good. They hope this gives smaller businesses an incentive. For the larger businesses, they are almost insisting that they offer health care by making it a part of their payroll. Then there is the issue of prescription medications. If you have recently looked at the price of prescription drugs, then you know that they are up there. Most of the times, people go without certain things because of the fact that they need to get this medicine. That is why Obama is lowering the price of prescriptions. The next effect this new health care would be is the cost of health care insurance would go down. The idea is that there would be affordable health care for everyone here in the United States. He says that we need a healthier country and this is how he's aiming to do it. Before long, everyone would have the health care that they would need. No one will be able to not have health insurance. For the elderly, they are able to get more care. They will be able to get health insurance. Some companies won't give health insurance to those who are elderly due to the fact that they are old. They have many conditions that require a lot of money and going into that, these companies feel they can't afford to lose money. Well, no more with Obama's bill. He says you get coverage no matter of what condition you have when you register. Plus, our children and future generations don't have to pay for this. This is what Obama has proposed. The reason for this is because of the fact that the money is covered. The way that it will be covered by the government is that the money is in the budget already. Now, this is a plan we can agree with. That's our thought on it at least. Last of all, this bill encourages businesses to give the insurance that employees should be given. To the small businesses, they will give an incentive so that more small companies will offer health care. For larger businesses, they will enforce this. How will they do this? They will do this by making it so that a part of pay roll will go towards getting insurance. As you can see, Obama plans to do a lot. With that, there are a lot of people who are happy. There are just as many people who aren't. It will ensure that people can take better care of themselves. It's going towards making a better America. Consider it a healthier America.
