Blog Stage 3: Obamacare? NObamacare?

The Editorial Board of USAToday recently posted an article in the opinion section of their website entitled "Mend Obamacare, don't end it: Our view". This article is in support of Obamacare, stating that it will help many that do not currently have health insurance or those that cannot afford it. The article admits that the beginning stages of Obamacare may be "rocky", discussing the potential penalties for those who oppose or refuse to sign up for the new health care act, but goes on to state that the overall effects of the bill will be beneficial to many people; even those who currently pay for their health insurance will save money because those who do not have insurance will no longer "drive up health costs for everyone else". Although I haven't been too keen on the idea of Obamacare from what I've heard, this article is making me think twice. The pros that it offers greatly outweigh the cons based on the facts that the article is stating. The writing delivers a good overall message that may change your mind about a few things. However, it fails to tell the reader about the ill effects that Obamacare may produce, therefore making the article seem very one-sided. It's hard to find unbiased information these days, and I don't blame them for only using examples that support their opinion. If someone was looking to gain knowledge about both pros and cons of The Affordable Health Care Act, this article would not be the place to start. It does provide a well rounded argument though.
