Health Care

There are problems with Obama’s health laws. Things are getting real.

An article found on msn.com can be found here:

Some Americans will gain health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act, while others will lose their current plans and still more don't know yet.

This seems fishy to me.

“Now is when Americans start figuring out that President Barack Obama's health care law goes beyond political talk, and really does affect them and people they know.” This is the opening statement of the article.

This scares me and I’m just a kid.

Americans are confused.

Come on Obama. 

What are we doing?

People are unaware of what is going on. This needs to be changed.

Recently, however, according to the article people are becoming more and more educated everyday (within the last month) due to advertising. This is good.

According to the article,

“Fifty-five percent now say they have enough information to understand the law's impact on their family, up 8 percentage points in just one month.”

What is interesting to me is that this article is titled, “Obama's health law finally gets real for America,” This means this is finally hitting Americas hard.

The Obama administration claims that nobody will lose coverage as a result of cancellation notices that have been going out to people. At least 3.5 million Americans have been issued cancellations however there is no individual state data to back this up in about half the states.

According to the article,

“Officials say these consumers aren't getting "canceled" but "transitioned" or "migrated" to better plans because their current coverage doesn't meet minimum standards.”

This is also good. I’m not quite sure how I feel about this yet though.

However, many Americas are unclear that they are not being “cancelled” and just “transitioned” again, this is also known as our government needs to get it together and help these people.  

Obama is trying to sugarcoat this by saying this only affects five percent of Americans. However, this is a country of more than 300 million people, five percent is about 15 MILLION PEOPLE! This blows my mind.

Some Americans are trying to figure things out by using websites that are supposed to help them see where they stand for a plan, however no one knows for sure if these websites are reliable. This seems like another problem. There are so many problems! What are we doing?
