Essay On Obama Care Reform

In order to grasp how my United States representative is voting and if their votes correspond to my opinions, I will look at two issues the United States has faced. The first issue being the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The second being President Obama and Congress increased marginal taxes on the wealthy to keep the Bush tax cuts in place. I am in agreement with my United States Representative that there should be increased marginal taxes on the wealthy and that the Affordable Care Act should not be repealed. First and foremost, in my opinion the Affordable Care Act should not be repealed, in order to for all Americans to have health insurance and a healthier life. The Act was put into effect as a law for all Americans to obtain health care insurance, regardless of their social class. Once Americans would receive health insurance they would be able to get the proper treatment for their various conditions such as, getting tools to manage their diabetes or get the correct medicine for their high blood pressure, or finally be able to get necessary surgery with insurance to cover the cost.
