The face of healthcare is changing and many people are concerned how these changes will pan out for them. When you look at the grand scheme of things are these changes for the better or is this just another way for government to take over another aspect of our lives? This concern is in everyone's minds as we saw with the Patriot Act once we give the government control we may never be able to retrieve it. And government control of a system is considered more like communism, and if Americans do not like something, it is that. For many there is no bigger or scarier thought.

And in all areas there seems to be a misnomer in what the new health care plan is all about. When many people hear the words government care and health in the same sentence they automatically believe that the U.S. government seeks to create a system of nationalized health care. Truthfully, this new plan is not a form of nationalized health care, managed entirely by the government.

The new plan is more the equivalent of a policing and regulating system that allows the government to oversee the health care industry and begin to hold it accountable for its actions. By creating stricter rules about what will and won't be allowed, by allowing independent assessment of claim denials, and by no longer allowing the health insurance companies to block out those who are deemed undesirable by the system.


These regulations will actually help most to gain and maintain health insurance coverage they need. This type of control serves as a reminder that health insurance companies can not simply do what they want and get away with it and as a matter of fact the current regulations will also try to help the industry to improve the situation of their patients as well.

So with all the changes that will benefit Americans, what is it that people are so afraid of? Essentially the fear stems from the idea that the government will eventually fail in providing health care to people and that the entire system will fall out from under us. Professionals and researchers alike say without changes like those in the Health Care Reform Act the system is almost guaranteed to collapse. So maybe this is the only way?
