I have read a very intersting article from Reuters today regarding the concern of the government in overhauling the healthcare system to deal with the current deficit the country is facing. Here's the excerpt of the said report from Reuters:
President Barack Obama said on Wednesday a broad healthcare overhaul was critical to a U.S. economic recovery and urged Congress to take advantage of momentum behind the reform package, despite doubts about the plan even among fellow Democrats. In a televised evening news conference, Obama said the biggest driving force behind the federal deficit was skyrocketing healthcare costs for the government's Medicare program of healthcare for the elderly and Medicaid for the poor. "If we do not control these costs, we will not be able to control our deficit," he said after another day when leaders in Congress struggled to find common ground on the cost and scope of a healthcare plan, Obama's top legislative priority.

It is really important to the people today how will they deal with the expenses with regards to their health. Seniors should be treated well and this plan might really help and caregivers will be one of those jobs that will benefit from this.
