President Obama is facing opposition about his Health Care program. Never one to back down the President welcomed a "vigorous" debate, and challenged the opposition to act saying, "What is really scary, what is really risky, is to do nothing." He repeated guarantees that a health care overhaul won't force anyone to give up health insurance they like and won't cut Medicare benefits, and he stood by his election pledge that he won't raise taxes on people making less than $250,000 a year. President Obama wants the government to compete against the Health coverage insurers to get rates to come down. The people opposing this have a view that the government will have too much control, but It seems the President is riling up greedy people making money off the high insurance rates the Health Care industry can charge. Hopefully his plan will come to pass because I'm sure it'll pay off in the long run. His term will really be defined by America's progress in the Long-run, but in the short term all he can do is propose, push, and "hold down the fort".
