Healthcare Reform is it Just Politics?

Summary: Healthcare reform is it just politics? With 2014 rapidly approaching and the most significant year in terms of Healthcare Reform, many political2provisions/mandates have been delayed. Is Healthcare Reform just a way of pitting Democrats and Republicans against one another?

Well, it looks like we are about to have another political battle over Healthcare Reform a.k.a. Obamacare. Many issues are about to become topics of debate.

Debt ceiling – the United States is approaching another debt ceiling in November 2013. What this means is that our ability to acquire additional funding through borrowing is going to again reach a cap. The last time this happened, our US credit rating was downgraded for the first time in many years and substantially impairs our ability to borrow from other countries at least at an interest rate that is plausible. What will be the outcome? Will the debt ceiling be raised? Will our ability to borrow funds be frozen/cut-off? Should we not concentrate on paying off the debt we already owe before trying to incur additional?

Threat to shutdown the government – one of the most serious items on the table is the threat to shut down the government at least temporarily while negotiations are made on the debt ceiling and healthcare reform. Are these idle threats or do you think this is a possibility? Do you think the government should even be able to make such threats? Will it actually be a bargaining chip?

Healthcare Reform – Healthcare Reform in general is a subject for debate on the political front. The Democrats are pushing for the law in its entirety to continue to as proposed. The Republicans on the other hand are seeking to either delay the remainder of the law provisions to be either delayed or repealed.
