Why are so many people uncomfortable with the idea that many problems don't have a single solution? Take for example the current Health Care Reform bill that is in congress. Without getting into weather I think the bill is good or not, there have been many heated debates and all across the media television, print and internet are more articles and reviews about this bill. The reasons some many people are arguing about this bill is because it does not address everyone's needs. If the insurance companies don't get their money they don't like it, if the rich have to pay more they don't like it, if the working man has to pay more he doesn't like it. When addressing an issue like health care reform, it takes on a meaning for a lot of different parties. While I believe everyone wants to pay less for there health coverage, the only people who are against low cost health coverage are those that benefit from the high costs, such as insurance companies. You have the American people, the doctors, the nurses, the hospitals, the drug companies, the insurance companies and all the other health care businesses that are looking for something to benefit from in this bill. That is why there is no right answer. So who wins if nobody is right?
So is there a single solution? Probably not. With all of the factors that go into health care reform, no one answer is the right one. That is what makes people uncomfortable. We live in a society that gives and takes and it seems everyone wants to take from this bill. People are uncomfortable giving up certain things when they don't know what they get in return, and the uncertainty of this bill is very much in question. Whether it does enough, does it reduce costs enough, will it provide better coverage for everyone, can everyone afford it? The answers again are different for every walk of life.
