'Rained In'?


Political Cartoon: 'Rained In?' By Adam Zyglis, The Buffalo News
http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Cartoons/2013/November/Rained-In.aspx


This cartoon made me smirk in such a way that made me think about what the picture is actually showing. What I understand out of this picture is that many Americans that have medical insurance do not carry enough insurance and are really underinsured. This picture shows a man and little girl in the rain with a very small umbrella that is not covering them. The President cartoon is holding a larger umbrella that will cover the man and his daughter both saying. The cartoon states the man's coverage doesn't meet minimum standard. The man is fussing because he wants to keep his original coverage even though he doesn't have enough coverage for him or his daughter.

 I personally do want an "half-assed" insurance policy that doesn't cover any of the services I nor my family needs.  Why pay for something that is not doing the job it's supposed to do. You don't buy an umbrella just for the sake of buying one. If the umbrella is too small for you then its definitely not going to provide the proper coverage to you from the rain.   Healthcare reform and The Affordable Healthcare Act have been a big conversation piece to just about every citizen. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. The law puts in place comprehensive health insurance reforms that will roll out over four years and beyond. Everyone is not going to agree and you cant please everyone, but I think there needs to be some kind of reform because the current structure is not sufficient in any means.
