Health Care Vote Puts Democrats on Defensive

This article covers the debate and dispute on Health Care between Democrats and Republicans. It mentions a few Democrats and Republicans views of Health Care, but the article frequently mentions one democrat and one republican in particular. Tom Perriello is the representative for the democrats in this article, when the republican is Robert Hurt. In the beginning it talks about Hurt ripping into Perriello for voting for a “government-run Health Care.” And Hurt agrees with the complete opposite, he agrees with letting the Health law be preserved and taken care with private insurance companies and industries. Health Care has been a continuing debate between the House and Senate; it has also played a role in contests for governors and attorney generals. Independent groups have spent 108 million dollars since March to advertise against the law. When a poll was taken on the law it showed that the electorate remained split, with independents leaning against it. In many districts, democratic candidates have started to defend the law’s most popular provisions, most likely due to Republican attacks have left them no choice but to do so, this has helped though. Which did help them; it took an effect on September 23 when some new insurance regulations happened such as insurers had to start to cover children. Health Care will prominently remain a continuing debate for the House of Representative and the Senate.

The importance of the Health Care is that it keeps Americans healthy. It is also important to know Democratic and Republican point of views because it can help citizens get a better idea of what they want in the Health Care law, who they can agree with, and who citizens should vote for.

My reaction to this article was it was informing and can give people a better perspective and good idea of who they agree with, based on views of the Health Care law. This article made me realize that I agree with the Republicans and their views on the Health Care. I believe that the Health Care should be in the hands of private industries instead of the government because the quality would be better and there would be more of a variety and options. I enjoyed reading this article, it was very interesting.
