Obama’s conflict with the senate over the Health Bill

The health bill has been the height of political frenzy for President Obama and the senate. Obama has been in conflict with the senate (specifically the Republicans) over the proposition of a new health bill. It would cost a lot of money but the senate is very complacent about this idea because they feel it will not work.

However, Mr. Obama and his administration is determined to make sure that it works. Unfortunately, the health bill has caused conflicts between Mr. Obama and the senate that could turn into a showdown rather than a proper deal. The Health Care bill will cost over 950 billion dollars over the span of a decade. This Health Care bill is specifically designated to help middle-class families afford proper healthcare.

The democrats and republicans in the senate have different ideas on how to combat the rising costs of healthcare. Obama still has a different idea. There are so many opposing ideas on such an important subject. I feel that healthcare is so important because the cost has been rising over the past few years. It has affected a lot of middle-class families who are afraid that they are just one-sickness away from losing everything (from what I learned in Economics). I think that Mr. Obama and the senate will hopefully find a good solution to alleviate the problem. I think that the senate should look at the Health Bill carefully and Obama should also hear what the senate thinks is best and then formulate a plan that is best. I'm very curious to see how this situation will turn out.
