Health Care Reform is coming whether your ready or not

http://qsrweb.com/article.php?id=17178&na=1

My article talks about the new Health care reform that the Obama administration wants to establish. The article in summary is a big move for all large quick service restaurants especially those with Franchisees who have very little capital to invest into a new health care program. Although most QS restaurants offer health benefits to there full time employees, the new health care policy wants to include all the part time workers into getting coverage. This will be excellent to the nation as a whole, because there are a millions of Americans who don't have the money to go to the doctors for a regular check up because they can't afford the co pay and the medication is way to expensive. This will be a big boost to the longevity of Americans throughout the nation. Although the cons are that this will increase cost of the quick service restaurants by at least 8-10%. This could crash some of the insecure franchises that don't have a lot of money in this dying economy. But weigh the options. Better health for a better economy. But businesses will close in a nation where unemployment is steadily rising.

I do agree with the movement towards more health care for everyone. In the long run i think it will be benefitual, but in the short run it will hurt a few people. Hopefully not that bad, theres no easy way to get from where we are to where we want to be.

I also agree with Obama's reform due to the fact that America as a whole is very unhealthy. I believe that over a long period of time Obama will be able to bring this country into a more healthier and less obese state of mind. We will be able to increase health care among many people that need it. This will boost our economy and help this nation better itself
