Is Health Care a milestone or a mistake?!

I'm very happy that we finally have health reform because of the many people with very life-taking diseases that were constantly denied coverage from their insurance companies. I'm also happy for it because it finally seems as if we are taking a step to become a better nation. On the other hand, there are many disadvantages that come along with the health care bill. First, there are 14 taxes in the bill. Just to name a few, there are going to be taxes on drug-makers,on higher incomes on companies that are going to be well off in result of the bill,and a fine if a person does not have health insurance. Many tax payers are worried that their tax money is going to pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies, and the major concern I've been hearing is that the bill is going to make tax payers pay for abortions which is very unconstitutional.Also, there are many false claims on the reform that shows no resemblance to what was voted on. According to CNN, many political scientist believe that it is simply a government take over and not democratic at all. 11 attorney generals are willing to fight the reform because they say it is an individual choice to get insured and that is unconstitutional. There are many disadvantages to the bill, but there are also many advantages. The health care bill is taking a giant step towards socialism, and it's a victory for the American people. Many children can piggy back with their parents on their insurance plans until the age of 26, a tax break for families, medicaid expansion for lower income families, and most importantly it changed the mind of the great representative Bart Stupak (D) Michigan. Of the 11 attorney generals that are fighting the reform, none of which are democrats so that's a winner. I'm totally for the health reform. It's not right to look at one side and not the other, and that's why i gave the disadvantages and the advantages. It's a long term plan that needs to get into every house hold so that we can have a healthier nation.
