Why do you think this country is so divided on this controversial health care bill?
It is my belief that people are afraid of change and will resist it at any cost, even if that change is for the better. I think the country is so divided on the health care bill because of the division of 'have's' and 'have not’s' in this country. The people that currently have health care aren't too concerned with the fact that there are so many other people out there that do not have it. Most of the concerns I’ve heard from people are illegitimate. I don't think people are as informed as they should be before they state their opinion on the controversial health care bill. I think it is the difference in the people that 'have' and the people that 'don't have' that cause so many of the problems in this country. Disparities within our education system causes the inequalities in the ability to make higher wages which, in turn, affects the kind of benefits people receive from their jobs. So, until we as a country fix our problems from the source, we need the government to step in and help those that aren't able to help themselves. It is too hard to get ahead when you start from behind. I felt proud to be here and to be a small part of something so historic.
