Update on Health Care Bill

This Sunday president Obama will go to capital hill to address the senate about the health care bill. Prior to this the republicans proposed a change to the bill that would reduce the cost of the bill by 42.1 billion dollarsby making cuts to Medicare home health care service in the health care . However the senate voted for this not to happen. The Democrats philosophy for voting not to do this was because the cuts would be taking away aid for Americans that needed it most such as senior citizens. As a response to this Democrat Senator John Kerry proposed an ammendment to the bill that would limit "guaranteed" home health benefits. This ammendment was passed.
I agree with the majority of the senate and believe that the 42.1 billion dollar cut to the health care bill is not the best solution to this debate. I feel this way because the bill is already so expensive at 848 billion dollars that reducing the cost is not really helping much. I believe that by making this cut it would only make the bill less effective and it wouldn't affect the expense of the bill by that much.
