Universal Healthcare, Who wants it?



This clip is of Glenn Beck of Foxnews, it is 2 minuites of Glenn Beck attempting to expose weaknesses of Universal Healthcareand to influence viewers at home watching who dont agree, and to warn them of the flaws of the approaching proposed reform. Glenn Beck does this by using an example, his explains the Rep. Mit Romney's Massachusetts Healthcare or "Romneycare" as Beck calls it, that is in place. This is a "Bipartisan" Healthcare reform system that is aimed at providing universal healthcare in the state based on personal income, and subsidies for the poor or unemployed.

The clip above is of a public gathering in Buffalo NY. where a Democrat congressman Brian Higgins has voted for the Univerdal Healthcare Reform in support of the Obama administration and a quality healthcare system for America. Congressman Higgins explains the positves that can be acheived by the Healthcare reform, he also attacks the attitude taken by many Republicans opposing the reform and the Democrats. He is also a member of the "Ways & Means" committee in the House of Representitives.

I believe in the 2nd clip to be more convincing, I dont like the tone and approach of Glenn Beck. He seems to oppose anything that represents President Obama rather than opposing his policies. Also he also indirectly attacks Obama's Healthcare plan by drawing comparisons to Mit Romney's Massachusetts state Healthcare reform, which Beck claims has been a fundamental flop. I find congressman Higgins far more mature in his approach and more relevant to the his points.
