Health Plan Won’t Fuel Big Spending, Report Says

The cost of health care is one of the leading issues in the country today, accounting for roughly 17.3 percent of our total economy in 2009. Under Obama's new Health Care Law, health spending will grow faster as more and more people gain coverage. Controlling this growth has become a major priority, as the government, employers, and American consumers struggle to keep up with the rising health care costs. The biggest change is expected in 2014, when most Americans will be required to have insurance. Only time will tell if this new law will have the negligible effects that are expected.
