One of today's biggest topics is the Obama care act. People cannot figure
out if it is a good thing or a bad thing. While reading up on USA Today I came across Irwin Redlener and Jane Pauley's
opinion article called, "Health key to classroom success". I found
this article very interesting because it showed a side of the Obama care act
that everyone tends to ignore, and it is that of the children. Not only are
adults affected by this care act but children as well.
In the article they
mention children in poor and rough areas that cannot afford to go to the doctor
and or dentist and have to suffer day in and day out are now being treated.
They are now covered with insurance so they can live on a daily basis without
the fear of getting sick or having to suppress an injury because their parents cannot
afford a visit to a local health facility.
The authors argue that this is a
good thing, and the care act is going in the right direction but it needs to be
pushed a little further to get in rolling in action. I tend to agree with the
authors. This is amazing to finally have a care act where children are covered
and can be tended but health care partners. Children should be covered no
matter what to maintain a well rounded education. Pauley and Redlener make this
article intended for the public to know what is going on. Again, I totally
agree with the claims they are making, I feel this is very important and this
could be a huge game changer for the United States if followed consistently.
