Abstract: | Emotionality truly shapes critical thinking in the development of American health policy. President Obama has misgauged the emotions and thoughts of the Nation and Congress about the health care reform bill. Most Americans don??t approve of the design or impetus of health care legislation under the Obama administration. The enacted legislation provides health care insurance for all Americans. However, health care insurance for the lower class shows intense ??red lights?? for repeal of the legislation to members of the middle and upper classes. It violates their critical thinking processes and comes down to a kind of ??class warfare?? of poverty level and low income persons against the gut emotional feelings of the middle and upper classes to repeal the program. Sarah Palin and her Tea Party compatriots envision such ??class warfare?? with the implementation of the program, even ??death panels?? to mete out health care for those seriously or gravely ill. |
