Shanaya Reeves' Opinion
If you ask me, the cost of health insurance is still ok though I don't know about the future the way rates are going up.
I don't think the rise in costs necessitates healthcare reform. The solution to controlling costs may lie in better technology or better procedures.
I do believe that having to provide cover for illegal aliens is one of the factors driving up costs. Also, lack of health insurance competition in Georgia and Alabama for instance is certainly a high cost factor in those states.
I believe such solutions as the above would make any further government intervention unnecessary.
The stats about people not covered by health insurance is slightly bloated because many young people do not get health insured BY CHOICE. They simply feel they don't need it since they rarely have serious medical complaints unlike the elderly.
The reasons for not having coverage don't boil down to cost alone. Sometimes, it's simply choice.
