This webpage is paid for by the Democratic National Committee through one of their projects called Organizing for America and is designed to support and promote not only Obama's, but the Democratic party's proposed health care plan. Because it lacks acceptance in Congress, the Democratic party is attempting to rally troops in order to influence congressmen through their constituents. Organizing for America has its origins in the Obama for America organization and is pushing forward Obama's ever-present mantra of "change."
They are attempting to reach all of America, rich and poor, those with and without health insurance. They want to make it clear that everyone will benefit from this change, that it's not just for those who lack sufficient coverage. This is clear through their three-column approach: one listing benefits for those who don't have health insurance, one expressing the benefits for those who already have health care, and a final column for "all Americans" (as if there is some ambiguous group of people out there who somehow fail to fall into the two previous categories. Talk about covering your bases).

I think you gave a very objective point of few on this subject - something of which I would most likely not be able to do. I think the people in the Democratic party who are trying to find followers are trying to make it sound appealing to EVERYONE. Therefore, their benefits include everyone.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely. I think they come across as trying a little too hard to appeal to all Americans. I know they're grasping for more support, but saying that the health care plan they propose will, without fail, help every single person in the nation, just isn't realistic.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Emily. Very objective point of view!
