Health Care and Insurance Reform Delayed Due to Economy?
By Ethan Calvin
A conference in Orlando, Florida had health care experts, politicians, doctors and economists had talks about the poor economy's effect on health care and insurance reform. This was reported in the Miami Herald.
Conferences like the one held in Orlando usually only result in one agreement: that we do not all agree on the topic of health care and insurance reform. This conference seemed to follow suit.
The Miami Herald article writes that James Carville, democratic strategist, thinks that health reform will have to wait until the economy is better. He says that the federal government will be consuming their efforts with saving Wall Street first.
Republican strategist, Karl Rove, disagrees, shockingly. Rove says that John McCain's proposed health insurance reform-tax credits and deregulated markets- will not be dependent on a good economy.
Countering, a representative for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said tough times like these are when we really need reform. Florida Governor Charlie Crist reasoned that state governments should take responsibility for health care and insurance reform. Governor Crist recently championed a Florida health insurance law that offers affordable health plans with limited benefits. "There's such a difficulty getting anything done in Washington," said Crist. And there's certainly a lot of truth to that. - 13952
