The problem with our healthcare system is deciding who will pay for health care. As of now, Obama is taxing the wealthy in order to get money for the health care system. I do see how this is a difficult problem to solve, but taxing the wealthy seems a bit unfair. This plan could solve the problem, but is just going to create anger among the wealthy. You never know, the money that is being taken away frome wealthy people for health care could potentially be enough to put their house in foreclosure, or doing othere damaging things. In Canada, the government funds their healthcare system. All residents recieve prepaid coverage. People in poverty and elders will benefit from the healcare refom because poor people will not be taxed for healthcare, and elderly people recieve healthcare. These two groups of people will benefit from this while the wealthy are being taxed in unfair ways.
