Will Health Care Reform Let People Take More Personal Risks in the Workplace?

I was chatting with some friends today trying to understand the ramifications of health care reform. (In fact, I found this interactive article on the NY Times quite helpful…)

Many people I know have been limited in their work and life choices because of the need for health care or the reality of pre-existing conditions. Fear or getting sick and having to deal with medical bills has limited them from either taking jobs or forced them to stay with ones they are miserable in.

So, the question came up – what kind of opportunities will expanded health care offer to individuals?

Will it allow individuals to take more risks?

What do you think?

    The most important variable will be whether reform does, as promised, "bend the curve": whether it slows the rate of growth of health-care costs, which on their current trajectory will bankrupt the country. On that will depend whether reform can fulfill its admirable promise of guaranteeing health care for virtually all Americans.

    Well, it is not a risk, it is a health care program. Everyone deserves to have it.

    It is very harmful I agree in a web development to continuously sit in front of the system and do work which yes actually harms your health at work place. precaution is to sit for 1 hour or 2 in front of the monitor and then one must go out for fresh air just to exhale those radiations which his/her body absorbed during work.
