An UnCaring Act From Obama

 

Americans are being forced to pay for others medical plans with their own hard earned salaries in a cumbersome plan called the Affordable Care Act, or usually identified as Obama Care. “TheAffordable Care Act was signed into law toreform the healthcare industry by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010 and upheld by the Supreme Court on June 28, 2012” (Obama). This plan requires citizens of the United States, who can already afford their own healthcare, to pay high taxes for the health care of others who cannot afford it for themselves. Obama Care requires residents of America to switch their present plan by the year 2015 unless it meets the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. Many Americans have already tried to go on the website for Obama Care to sign up for it and found it very difficult to understand exactly what is in the plan.  It’s very important to point out that even Barack Obama  has exempted himself from his own plan! Now, I know that teenagers reading this may be wondering, how does this apply to me? It does. Many kids just believe exactly what they hear and I don’t want anyone to just believe that ObamaCare is a great plan. It is good for everyone to know what is going on in the US. This plan presents multiple problems for the citizens of the United States.

 I believe that this plan should never have been approved by the Supreme Court for multiple reasons. First, Barack Obama, the one who created the plan, has exempted himself from this plan! Knowing this, I just keep thinking to myself, RED FLAG! A giant, humungous, cherry red flag!  If Obama has exempted himself from ObamaCare, that means that even he knows it’s terrible. Second, it requires people who have worked hard in their life to provide for the needs of their family to pay higher taxes for the people who don’t have enough to afford health care. Now, these taxes aren’t just some small amount of money, this healthcare plan is costly. I have no idea where the “affordable” in Affordable Care Act comes from. Under this plan, even average citizens will be trampled under the costs of this plan. Citizens who have earned their salary and saved it should not have to give it up to people who have spent it on luxuries such as drugs, cigarettes, etc. There are some cases where it is kind to help another person, such as a death in the family causing money issues, however people should be able to choose to give to others, not forced. Kindness comes out of your heart. Citizens should not lose their money and become poor, in order to make another family richer. Lastly, many people don’t even understand all the parts of this new plan. There are so many loopholes in this uncaring act. Thus, Obama’s plan is just a path leading our country into disaster.
