Question of the Week #2

The healthcare plan is currently at a standstill. Republicans want to prevent the bill from being passed unless changes are made. They are trying to keep the bill from decreasing funding to medical agencies. Although the Republicans are putting the bill to a stop for right now they are outnumbered by the Democrats. Democrats believe that cutting funds to medical agencies are necessary. I think changes will to be made until Republicans agree to passing the bill. I think the process will take longer than expected, not passing until later months. When the bill is passed changes will need to be made if private companies want to compete. Some believe this may have a negative impact on healthcare coverage while others believe private companies will lower their prices to stay in business. As of now, Americans are waiting to see what changes will be made to the healthcare bill.
