Hmmm...Health Care

So I've been thinking a lot about the whole health care thing. I think it's great that millions of Americans will now be insured, but was this the right way to do it? I don't want America to be like Canada, where it takes months to see a doctor when sometimes urgent care is needed. Also, this bill uses federal money to pay for abortions, which I am definitely not ok with. However, President Obama DID sign an executive order saying that federal money is to be used for abortions only in case of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger, but how strongly will this order be enforced? Finally, what about Medicare for our seniors? Their benefits are going to decrease, which is scary to think about because it seems like we're leaving them out to dry.

I know the Senate is already in the process of passing legislation to "fix" certain parts of the bill, but it just seems like we rushed through this too much to get it right. I guess we'll have to see...
