Commentary on Obamacare 

While I do favor Mr. President Obama, and for more reasons that one I also agree with student Jariah Powell. She explains that while Obamacare does benefit some, yet, a good portion of the U.S population will be affected in a negative way. The newly implemented Affordable Healthcare Program is suppose to be affordably reasonable to retain the insurance, but only for those who CAN afford it. She further elaborates, that those who are in perfect health are wondering why they are being penalized for the “Greater Good?” I agree with the fact that those in perfect health should not be obligated to pay for health insurance. Especially, if it is only to please others and if they personally do not feel that they have a need for it. I say, is paying all taxes, mandating upkeep on car insurance, and voting not enough? She then gives an example of possibly single parents that struggle to make end meet. They are now stuck with yet another expense. She also mentions the potential risks for small business owners that do not bring in a lot of revenue. Again, while I do still side with Mr. President, I do not think this plan was completely thought out. I think he had good intentions though.
