Health care reform is a process that builds upon the current health insurance system in the United States. It's intended to provide more people with coverage, establishing consumer protection and setting up a system to shop for insurance. I have spent most of my time for this assignment researching social movements and what struck me most was current health care reforms. I am not quite sure if this qualifies fully as a social movement but it seemed so to me. After much reading and research I came to the conclusion that health care reform is a reformative social movement in which President Obama has bulldozed through the first and second stages of initial unrest and agitation of the American people and the resource mobilization that has spent much time and money putting this reform together and mobilizing mass media propaganda influencing and "educating  Americans as to why this reform must happen. Stage three's organization was a debacle at best in which the deadline to enroll was fast approaching but the enrollment process itself was quite difficult to maneuver. This stage has pushed us into the fourth stage of institutionalization where the movement has entered into bureaucracy. At this point the excitement has definitely faded a bit and people like myself who were previously uninsured are feeling a bit of relief in addition to resentment. I don't particularly see an organizational decline but as stage five states, it seems to be becoming reinvigorated in the sense that people are seeing the benefits of Obama Care as well as those who are still defying and fighting it. I find it to be a reformative social movement because the reform pertains to only a portion of society, in this case the uninsured. President Obama is changing the ways of health care and the ability to obtain it. As the health care reform sits teetering between institutionalization and organizational decline, there are many issues being argued and fought against. The
