One of the changes into the American Society that Barrack Obama is trying to initiate is the Health Care Reform. The idea is to draw money from the wealthier people of our society through taxes and set it aside to help pay for health care for people living in poverty, disabled people, seniors, and immigrants.

Opposition has been seen from people towards this plan, they are concerned by the actual cost it is taking, and tax rates will be much higher. Another challenge it is creating is the support of the congress, they also seem to think that right now is not the time to create an even larger national debt and create holes in people's pockets.

The conservative side of the debate is directed with more disagreement towards the plan. Republicans agree that Obama's plan to create a governmental health care and insurance program will slow business for the private insurers like American Insurance and Allstate.

It is estimated that 70% of the clients will be either converted to or pushed into the governmental program. They also believe that the government is trying to draw on a more communistic look into things by making people equal by sharing dependencies upon the government for necessities.

They also claim that when the government starts to make percentages of 48 million uninsured people, the number can change daily! One day it's 48 million, the next it's 30 million, republicans assure you that they are simply unreliable numbers.

Democrats have the view of acceptance with the plan. Appeasing the uninsured people is what they are trying to do. They are saying that the program will give people the reliable, strong and effective insurance they have been waiting for.

The programs pros they are promoting are the facts that they will lower prices to make it affordable for the average American family and not insure people for profit but for the welfare of the people. Also the programs expectations are to insure everyone and not simply the people who they can keep insured without having to spend too much out of pocket.

The third reason they are promoting it is the fact that the plan should be putting tax payer's money into an affordable and effective insurance program instead of dropping it into "non-effective" private insurers.

Whereas in reality, the governmental program will simply undermine the private insurers like Allstate and American Family Insurance, projected to lose 70% of their clients. These insurers will be losing business and having to cut employees, making millions more unemployed Americans.
