Widely viewed as dead two months ago, the Senate-passed bill cleared the House on a 219-212 vote. Republicans were unanimous in opposition, joined by 34 dissident Democrats.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the legislation awaiting the president's approval would extend coverage to 32 million Americans who lack it, ban insurers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions and cut deficits by an estimated $138 billion over a decade.
Even abortion is inarguable! There are many women out there who need this for emotional and psychological reasons. Statutes banning abortion is just blatantly denying them help altogether.
Yeah, this health care bill was loooong overdue. I'm glad that there is going to be help for everyone who needs it, and I'm glad that people who have heart problems are going to get insurance for everything AND their heart (WHAT THEY CAME THERE FOR!). I plan to be some sort of medical professional someday, but I don't care if my salary is docked if a large population benefits from it.

Eh, I think that there are better options than abortion and that this is showing support for abortion by the federal government but that's for another thread.

Good we need more people in there; also I highly doubt your pay will be docked what so ever. Medically professions will continue to be the highest paying in America for quite some time.

Well depending on how they got the baby ex. rape.. Maybe.. but I still don't agree with abortion and there are other options instead of it.

The Health Care Bill won't affect greatly into people's salary's because then it wouldn't really be fair for those who saves lives etc. So basically.. Just agreeing with this statement.

That and the economic law of workers will kick in. The less doctors around, the more pay a doctor will get, in order to spur more. Then once there's more of them, the pay will be less.

I figure abortion to be a last resort if no other practices are working for the mother. That the health care bill is supporting abortion by funding it in no means insinuating that abortion is going to be federally legal though. The matter of legalizing it is open to the states, and this is another thing that people do not realize yet or probably won't.
I hate debates where everyone agrees with one another's it's no fun.
Agreed. Look at me, I'm reduced to fighting over semantics with Alt:
I know perfectly well what it means. It's a mutual relation of two things. Obviously, there is a relation between the USA's lack of government-sponsored healthcare and us being placed 37th out of developed nations in overall healthcare quality.
I did not say your use was incorrect. I asked why you used that word. Yes, there is a correlation. Anyone can see that. There may also be a correlation between rainfall in inces per year and healthcare, but that doesn't make it a meaningful correlation.. Correlation does not equal causation. If you want to say private healthcare causes lower healthcare rankings... say that! Of course, I'm only doing this because I wanted to quote The Princess Bride.
I've no idea what you quoted but any offence to anyone is forgiven in light of this fact.
You don't know what I quoted? Inconceivable! The quote was on page 4 and is what sparked my argument with Alt, which would be rendered moot if I messed up the quote in any way. If I did, I would formally apologize to Alt and expect a banning in three to five business days.

There may not be better options for the woman, though. That reminds me: Does this bill cover elective plastic surgery?
Y'know, I have no clue at all. I doubt it, as this is about the prime health of the individual, such as heart conditions, asthma, abortion, all that jazz.
That would be much appreciated and I think I'll join you and take a look at the bill if I have enough patience, and if I don't get kicked off my computer.
Agreed. Look at me, I'm reduced to fighting over semantics with Alt:
Semantic arguments are among the highest forms of argument in the world! I scoff at you! hoh!

I figured it would be implied that the correlation is meaningful. It's not necessarily a cause, because there are publicly-insured countries ranked lower than us. But still, there is definitely a meaningful correlation between our low rank in healthcare quality and our lack of public healthcare.
