Barack is working in all spheres, health care being not the exception. Already in his pre-election program Obama promised to reform the US health care system by expanding its coverage, improving quality, lowering costs, honoring patient choice and holding insurance companies accountable.

According to the US president, the present health care system is unsustainable, too expensive and complex for citizens, so he offers to reshape the nation's medical landscape. Obama plans to cover nearly 50 million uninsured Americans, to persuade doctors to stress quality over quantity of care, to squeeze billions of dollars from spending. Therefore he proposes socialized medicine model and claims it to be one of the changes America needs. The President keeps his line - let's change, let's act, get things done and deal with the problems of our country.

However, first thing, that makes some people to oppose the plan, is the timing - is it really affordable and suitable to do it right now, they ask. Another proposal that raises concern is the proposed government-run health insurance program that could force health care providers out of business and kill the private health care system. Finally, the program itself is not clear enough - results are planned ahead of the actual actions.
