If anyone has been following this historic event, i ask that you voice your opinion on this issue now

there is many things troubling the people about this plan


i want to know what is good about the plan from an Islamic standpoint
and what is really so wrong about it



what i have heard so far is that:

that that have incomes somewhere between 150-140% of the poverty level and are eligible will be allowed to gain health insurance through state based trades and subsidies


it will raise the taxes for those that make a certain amount


Soon, everyone must purchase health insurance or face a fine. There are some exceptions for low-income people.


Employers must provide health care to their workers

gives free health care to those that are eligible through a program called medicaid.





hmm

so whats wrong with all that?
besides the fact that now almost everyone HAS to have health insurance?
....hmm
insurance?
