How can Obama argue with a straight face that health care reform is essential to economic recovery?

	How can Obama argue with a straight face that health care reform is essential to economic recovery? Using better-than-expected jobs numbers to press his top domestic priority, President Barack Obama is arguing that overhauling the health care system is essential to the country's economic well-being. Republicans countered that the high unemployment rate — 9.4 percent in July — shows how families and businesses are struggling and that Obama's reliance on a large government role in expanding health coverage is the wrong approach.

Unless this country can rein in health care cost, most will find themselves with out insurance and in bankruptcy court. This is how it is necessary for economic growth and well-being. Answered By: lockesmith - 8/8/2009

Since medical expenses are the largest drain on the treasury and many corporation's coffers, the quicker we can get them under control, the better off it will be for the government in particular and the economy as a whole. Answered By: Dr. Nightcall - 8/8/2009

Out-of-control health care costs negatively impact the labor market. Recent research from the University of California and Harvard University found that higher health care costs have a direct effect on employment prospects through a trickle-down effect in which employers save money by hiring fewer workers and offering more part-time positions. In fact, researchers found that a 20 percent increase in health insurance premiums reduces a given worker's probability of being employed by 3.2 percent and increases the likelihood that a worker is employed only in a part-time position--where health benefits are very uncommon--by 1.9 percent. With the official unemployment rate expected to hit double-digits when new jobs numbers are released tomorrow, we can't afford to have any additional deterioration of the labor market. The more that people have to pay-out-of-pocket for health insurance, the less money they have to spend elsewhere. Traditionally, the economy emerges from recessions on the back of a boost in consumer spending. But such a bump is unlikely in this recession for a variety of reasons, including the fact that out-of-pocket health care costs have been rising inexorably for workers and families (see chart below for an overview of how different income brackets have seen more and more of their income go to health care costs and premiums). The point here is that it's a lot more difficult to stimulate consumer spending when the cost of necessities like health insurance eat away at more and more of household incomes. Inefficient, over-expensive health care makes it more difficult for employers to provide generous compensation packages to employed workers. Health benefits make up the largest share of employee compensation besides wages and salaries, and when times get tough they become one of the most burdensome aspects of employee compensation. For example, in the 2008 Kaiser Survey of Health Benefits, a large share of firms reported that they planned to offload more health care costs onto employees (see below). This is a dangerous course of action given the fact that--as showed above--people are already spending more and more for their insurance. Further, the cost of employer health care plans are likely to rise, on average, to 45.5 percent of income and wages for families and 21.7 percent for individuals by 2016. The costs of health care also rises faster for smaller firms that pay their workers less: according to the Employment Cost Index, health insurance costs relative to payroll increased 34 percent between 1996 and 2005 and that the increase was largest for businesses paying low wages. That's not good news for economically vulnerable Americans. For all of these reasons, health care reform is just as much an issue of freeing up economic resources to help stimulate recovery as it is about medical issues or health policy.

Although the government is presenting this plan as a option, they are forseeing the majority of working Americans to switch or businesses to drop Health Care. Thus force the private sector out of business and government believe they can run an effective health care cheaper. But business will freed from the health cost on there books and be able to compete with foriegn companies who don't have health care on the books . Those are the theory we are to believe. Even though government can't run social security with out going bankrupt, nor medicare nor run the VA well. Answered By: Gerry Adams - 8/8/2009

How can any of you "Christian Conservatives" NOT argue for Health Care Reform? Because unless you are an Armageddonite who wants the Christians hated by all so they will be persecuted you are supposed to care for others. Answered By: choteau - 8/8/2009

People who rely on the government to solve every problem are sheep wo cannot work and venture for themselves. Rather, they want to be spoon-fed everything, from the moment they are born, till the moment they die- "Cradle to Grave." Having the government jump-in whenever there is a crisis sets a bad precedent. America was founded on freedom and liberty. People fled England at the time because the government, at the time headed by a king, was too powerful and was infringing upon the people's civil liberties. If we summon the government to help us for everything, it will become almost as powerful as a monarchy. Do we want that? Is that what the founding fathers wanted? I think not. It is time we as Americans take responsibility. Stop blaming corporate America, in matter of fact, the government is lying when it says corporate America is to blame; the blame should be on the government. 50?f the reason, according to The Washington Post, for high insurance rates in America is because of medical technology. I don't know about you, but I enjoy knowing that healthcare in America is the most sophisticated in the world. I sure as hell would not enjoy medicine practices performed today like they did in the 1960's. IF you want low healthcare costs, go down to Africa or somewhere. There, if you are gravely ill, they put you on a bed and give you water. That costs very little. But if you want a well-educated, renowned doctor to perform thoruough tests and treat you to the best of his/her ability, the costs will be high. You don't go shopping for Mercedes expecting to pay $5,000, just like you don't pay little for high-end treatment in America. Another reason for the high costs of healthcare in America is because of personal diet. America is one of the unhealthiest countries on the planet. The reason being poor dieting. With the busy lifestyles Americans live, people resort to eating fast-food because it's cheap and easy, as opposed to making a healthy meal, which takes time to prepare. Americans also take up bad habits, such as smoking, which negatively affect one's health. Poor treatment of one's body result in higher health insurance costs. More demand of healthcare equates to higher costs. It's simple Economics 101. Americans need to take responsibility. Don't scapegoat insurance companies because the talking heads told you to do so on the news. Do some self-evaluation. Look inward, rather than outward for someone to blame. By doing so, you will be made aware that the government is not the solution. Sometimes, it's even the problem. Source(s): Practicing Medical Doctor Answered By: Doctor Knowitall - 8/8/2009

When you have an anti business attitude you shouldn't be surprised when you have no business. That s what is wrong with the economy. Answered By: David S - 8/8/2009

Quite simple (not that the opponents of the plans like simple). Currently, we have an employer based health care system. Health care costs are increasing each year raising expenses on American Business. Most of our competitors have national health insurance. Furthermore, most of our competitors (instead of a corporate income tax) have a sales tax that does not apply to exports. That means that foreign corporations who export products to this country don't pay a dime for their workers to get better health care than we get while our corporations have health care costs equivalent to about 25?f payroll (a percent that goes up every year.) Yes, health care reform is essential to the ability of our companies to compete which is why Associated Industries (the lobbying group for industrial companies) want some form of health care reform to pass.

Very simply. Despite a campaign of misinformation by some, well-respected people from both parties have spoken about the pressing need for major health care reform due to increasing costs. In fact, a bipartisan health care plan has been prepared (link below) by 3 former US Senators: 1) Howard Baker (R-TN)- Pres.Reagan's Chief of Staff and former Senate Majority Leader 2) Bob Dole (R-KS)- former Senate Majority Leader and 1996 Republican nominee for President 3) Tom Daschle (D-SD)- former Senate Majority Leader In the meantime, here are 2 simple facts about our current health care system worth pondering: 1) Total cost of all health care in 2008 was $2.4 trillion 2) This cost is expected to increase to $4.3 trillion by 2016, based on current growth rates, if nothing changes.

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now?

	What can people do with these types of courses? I'll be taking Programming HTML in 10th grade (I'm in 9th right now). My school offers Java, C++, Programming HTML, Graphic Communications, Robotics, CAD, and Game Design. I am taking courses not only because I want to fulfill credits, but to also test out some things and see what I like. I'm asking this in Careers because I was wondering what careers involve any of these and if they are good jobs. My cousin got me a little interested in computers because she has her Ph.D from University of Maryland, went to UMBC, taught at Carnegie Mellon, worked at IBM, and currently has a job at Microsoft (she works with human- computer interaction) I was curious, what are some good careers in Computer Science? Are these courses good ones to take to see if I like them? How much can you make in Computer Science careers? None of my decisions for the future are concrete and I do not only look at the money in anything so please, no assumptions unless you know me. I just want to have an idea of what to do and I have plenty of time. I love to help people which is why I am looking into medical careers as well. I'll be taking an AIDS research course in a few years and I'm taking a Child Development course in case I really do wish to be a Psychologist some day (Some other careers I have thought about are Hematologist, Dermatologist, Neurosurgeon, attorney, etc. I really would love to cure my parents who have Sickle Cell and Fibromayalgia but I know how Pharmaceutical Companies are.Treatment makes more than cure) t********s to anyone who can answer and help me out (Point gaming is pretty pointless. Two points vs ten? Which is more?) Thank you! I get good grades. Honor roll, honor student, I study hard and I keep to myself a lot so I have a lot of time to study. I'm cyber schooled because of how awful my old school was (kids bullied me. To the point where I could have died but teachers didn't care because my parents aren't friends with the teachers from high school. So, I just had to suffer. They lied to my parents and eventually, we just couldn't take it anymore. I got sick of defending myself against boys anyway. Thank God I'm into Martial Arts). I have been here for 4 going on 5 years and I love it! Peace and quiet....most of the time. I still live in a small town and the bullying just continues. So I have to be completely alone to escape it. Life will be better when I move to Canada. Also what you do is very interesting! Thank you very much! I can only take HTML this upcoming school year. Then the other courses become available throughout the years. I can't choose whether C++ comes before Java. It's not all available right away. It becomes available grade by grade. I heard people say $70,000 wasn't a good salary before and that really confused me. My cousin makes that much and she traveled to Spain, France, Atlanta and California recently. I think it is all interesting. New tech always did intrigue me and my mother. I'm just dipping a toe in first though. Just in case, when I go to college, my freshman year will be undecided to sit in on some more classes. I'll see what I like, this a lot, Thank you! Oh by the way, the C++ course is actually a C++ AND Java course! It's all in one. That's helpful :) 1 answer - Asked By: Tiana - 5/8/2013
