Health Care V.S. Immigration



On August 10 Barack Obama said that the health care problem will be further resolve by this fall in exchange for this the immigration issue will be postponed until 2010.



In the news conference he also defended the efforts the U.S. is taking to restore Manuel Zelaya's (Honduran President) power after being overthrown by a coup on June 28. Though Obama believes that critics had been saying he is being a hypocrite on his policy on Honduras yet at the same time they are also saying that he hasn't intervened enough.



Obama spoke to Felipe Calderon the President of Mexico and Stephen Harper the Canadian Prime Minister about his domestic and foreign "agendas" that include both the war of drugs in Mexico and the fight with Health care at home.



The drastic war of Healthcare is going wild. Republicans are unsatisfied with Obama's effort while the Democrats are blaming Republicans for sabatoging the Healthcare discussion.



Obama strongly believes that when people see the legislation that is being passed there will be more intelligent arguments to discuss. He expects an immigration legislation to be drafted but it will be further discuss in 2010. Right now the issues that are of importance in the U.S. are health care, energy legislation, and the “overhaul of financial regulatory rules” to finished Obama’s first term.

Of course we know as we Hispanics/Latinos are the minority and the government tends to waver with the majority so Health Care is always placed first. It has been an issue for many years and the people have always wanted answers. Since their eyes have been opened since the Movie, ‘Sicko’ came out citizens have been arguing of wanting a universal Health Care or a better coverage. And just as they were talking about Health Care recently, people never see the other end of the argument. America just rushes into conclusions without seeing both sides and think they will be left behind if they do nothing about it. It always takes time and through time a Health Care deal will be given out to benefit all.

Both health care and immigration have been discussed and debated for a long time now, but health care is seen as a more important issue because it will benefit plenty of Americans that contribute more to the country. It's also important because many Americans as patients really need a health care reform now. The debate over health care will continue for a really long time until they can finally come to an agreement especially because many Americans want an answer now and are anxious to know what happens next. When they begin to discuss an immigration reform, it will certainly take a lot of time and effort to finally agree on something, but they will eventually come to a conclusion the same way they will with health care.
