The Obama administration has made comprehensive health-care reform one of its primary objectives.  With health-care costs and deductibles rising steadily, as well as the number of uninsured Americans, the probability is high that a bill of some form will be agreed upon this year.  Such an accomplishment would have a large affect upon the availability of health-care as well as the economy in general, with health-care spending accounting for a whopping 16.5% of GDP in 2008.  Unfortunately, there is no consensus on the direction that a successful bill should take.  An inability of both sides of Congress to agree on the legislation’s objectives have created a cloud of rhetoric and misinformation.   Luckily, it is a popular topic, and the LA Times has penned an article that clarifies the status of the endeavor in Congress.

A thought to consider:

Passage of a bill that meets President Obama’s objectives would extend insurance to many of the nearly 47 million uninsured in this country.  Without a corresponding increase in the supply of doctors, timeliness of doctor and dentists appointments will become an increasing problem.   DocAsap helps solve this shortage by making available appointment times instantly identifiable to the public.  If your doctor or dentist isn’t using DocAsap, make sure you will be able to get timely appointments by recommending our service.
