Health Care Reform

Randolph T posted on 5/11/2010 5:36:00 AM
The Health Care Reform Bill is still in its infancy, however major companies almost everywhere are already discovering loop holes to get around it. Some of us are still uncertain that this new Health Care Reform Bill would benefit many people. In some point that may be true but it's undeniably that it would also give a negative impact to us. The head honchos of companies like AT&T, Sprint, and the health insurance companies chose to find methods to get past certain laws for instance: requiring every person in the company be insured, accepting children with pre existing conditions, and anything else they don’t like.

Yet here we are again witnessing an avalanche of criticism ...
