The recent passing of the health-care plan by the government has caused much debate among the citizens of the United States. There are some people who are viewing the plan as the answer to all the problems presently in the system and others who are adamantly against it because they feel the quality of the healthcare will be significantly reduced while bringing about a whole new set of issues to deal with.

Health insurance is like a risk pool and therefore is based on many different factors. Those who receive health care benefits from their employers or privately are already paying for their health care costs and shouldering the burden of their own care and this is the group of people who will not truly benefit from a government health care plan.

For the majority of people, the new healthcare program will not provide any additional benefits to them. They will now be paying for a nationalized healthcare plan that was designed to provide benefit to those that cannot pay for healthcare or were currently ineligible to receive any care from the usual sources.

Of course for those who are living life without health insurance either because they are unable to pay for it or because they are too ill will receive benefits from this program that they in turn won't be paying for. As a result, it is those who already have health insurance and who are taking care of themselves who will be paying for the benefits of those who are unable to pay their own way.

Today's healthcare premiums are expensive and many are concerned that these will skyrocket even more with the burden of now covering all those individuals who where not previously covered. Other concerns are that the quality of care will diminish as more people are put into the system and the number of doctors cannot properly care for everyone. Long waits for doctors and specialists can be seen in those countries that already have a nationalized program. Only time will tell whether passing the nationalized healthcare bill was good for the American people or not.
