What Is Going On With Our Healthcare???

So recently, I have decided to Tweet about our healthcare and what is going on right now.  A few days ago I read an article on CNN, "Health Care Law Turns One" and I found it to be very interesting and informative.  Since the article was short, I have decided to paste it here, along with the link -

Capitol Hill (CNN) – One year ago today, the House of Representativesnarrowly but decisively passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 221-219. Within days, the health care bill was signed by the president and became, as it is now, Public Law 111-148.

But implementation of some of the bigger health reform chunks is not going as expected.

This week in American Sauce, we drill down to specifics on what is happening with the health care law now. Example: those temporary high-risk pools, set up to help the uninsured before bigger reforms kick in, are not doing that well. Demand is 1/30th of what the Feds expected.

And state capitals across the country are struggling to make pivotal decisions about their role in the new health care system. State governments face deadlines within months but insist that Washington has yet to give them the guidance they need. In this week's show, we talk to a state health director for an on-the-ground account of how the massive health care bill is/is not becoming reality.

Healthcare is a big issue that is happening in America every day - everyone should have healthcare and I am glad that it was passed.  However, many things involving healthcare are not necessarily covered by the insurance companies.  In another article that I read, all of these random costs add up to be $363 BILLION dollars.  So yes, the healthcare billed was signed but Americans are still spending billions of dollars from their pockets to pay for certain healthcare costs.

Above is the link to the article that I found - "Healthcare's Hidden Costs".  I think this is a problem that needs to be looked at and we need to find solutions to this problem.  Should insurance companies have more coverage?  Should these things be included in the healthcare bill?
