Barack Obama's health care plan proposed to provide health insurance to 95% of all United States citizens. The plan included expanding Medicaid eligibility, making health care for children mandatory, offering a tax credit to small businesses to encourage them to provide affordable health care to employees, taxing medium and large companies that don't offer a health care plan, and providing the opportunity to select a private or public policy.
The president gave a speech detailing his health care goals to the joint sessions of Congress on Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Obama's health care reform speech aired at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Rep. Charles Boustany was chosen to provide a response to Obama's speech, and presented the Republican point of view.
- At one point, Representative Joe Wilson (Republican-South Carolina) interrupted the president's speech by yelling "you lie" at a volume where he was clearly audible to the audience.
Digital Health Records
Obama's health care plan includes computerizing health care records. In early 2009, only about 8% of the country's hospitals and 17% of doctors used computerized health records. Some experts say before fully computerizing health care records, the issue of privacy needs to be addressed.CNNMoney: Obama's big idea: Digital health records (January 12, 2009)Cost of Health Care
According to an analysis by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the first year of the proposed health care plan would cost $75 billion, or about $2,500 per newly insured citizen. By 2018, the cost is expected to reach $130 billion per year with a cumulative cost of $1 trillion.Reuters: Obama health plan to cost $75 billion (November 12, 2008)Public Resistance
As rumors and speculation regarding Obama's 1000-page health care plan sweep across the nation, public outcry against the proposed new system has become commonplace. Protesters have gathered in town hall meetings, speaking out about the plan and denouncing the president.Talk of "death panels," rationing of health care and other erroneous ideas has become so rampant that the White House has constructed a website, http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck, to separate fact from fiction.
