                             For A Perfect Healthcare Law  (blog 4)

       On Monday, October 21, Los Angeles Times published an article about “Obama: Fighting for a better perception of healthcare law”. In this event, President Obama held a “Rose Garden” event about the issue of the healthcare program in order to talk about two goals. The first goal was about the problems that have confounded those trying to sign up for insurance using the program’s online insurance site, and the second was group of Americans who oppose Obamacare.
       
       Cathleen Decker the publisher of this article shows by using many polls from CNN, ABC News and Washington Post that the supporters of this new healthcare law are almost the half 50%, and the opponents are composed from some people who says that this law is not measured that good and well developed and some people have no idea what Obamacare talks about.


        I totally disagree with the opponents because they are not willing to making this new law better or replace it, they are willing to kill it and remove it. However, I agree with President Obama when he said “willing to work with anyone on any idea to make this law perform even better”, which means this law is good but with help of people and giving new ideas this law could change from good to a perfect healthcare law. President Obama know that this problem is not easy to fix when you have opponents, so like many other issues “All this will probably take at least a year to shake out, and maybe longer” as he said.

                   Getting Older, Growing Poorer

On October 5, the New York Times published an article named Getting Older, Growing Poorer by THE EDITORIAL BOARD.The issue proposed here is one of the most popular, Poverty. People talked about it too much that it became complicated in the eye of the society. Basically when a problem like this occurs, all the eyes turn to the government.       The President should do this, the Congress should pass that. But is this the right way to look at it?The fact that the society is waiting for a flow of money to be poured over them from the government is rather a blind hope. Not because the government is not up to the challenge, but because it is technically impossible.

 Social Security and other ways have been utilized to help support the U.S. citizens. Even though the government has a stronghold on everything, it is still considered one party in this issue.

As long as the government is working alone, the increasing rate will become a “trend” that the society should wrap their mind around.  Government is not the people; government is a part of the people. The other part is clueless how flawed they are. They must pick their game, work with the government. Now the old people in the poverty range had made the missed the train of opportunity when it came at a young age.      The poverty will trend if the government and people stay ignoring it. So if these two (government and people) help each other, the poverty will decrease.
