Health Care Reform, Obama Care
Health Care reform in the State of Massachusetts could be viewed by many as an advance toward a better way of live in United States. At the same time many people have oppressed it. I believe that everyone in favor or in disfavor of the health reform of 2006 has had its reasons.

I strongly believe the Health Care system in the States is not the best one out there, by far. I would even say that is the worst one out of all other developed nations. I would present my arguments below and everyone can decide for them self’s. I will begin my research with researching the major differences in other developed countries, and compare them to the system in place in United States. Then I will compare and evaluate the changes that Mitt Romney did in his health care reform and will discuss if it working or does not.
In the recent years starting with Bill Clinton administrations, then followed with Bush Administration there were a lot of talks and plans to change existing health care industry in United States. Each administrations had different objectives but has been shut down by the same people, Pharmaceutical and Insurance industries. Historically those two industries have been in favor of existing system, the system that provide them with healthy profits from and only offers befits to the wealthy not the people of middle or lower class. Massachusetts is the first state that was able to push a health reform pass those two industries, and as many would agree with me, they only did it because it was on the state level and
