I don’t
know much about the Affordable Care Act, but I recently received a letter from
my job about the health insurance they offer and the changes they made due to
this act, which started to take place on Oct 1.
I didn't really have much time to look over the letter, but I should
have since my parents insurance took me out because I passed the age limit.
While
skimming through The Texas insider I came across the article Obama Lied, My
Health Plan Died by Michelle Malkin, who is known for her conservative blogs
and work. In the article she uses
herself as an example and states that she is one of the 22 million Americans
who have private insurance and have a wide variety of doctors to choose from, but now after October 1, she stated she cannot use her old doctor
and that her insurance plan cannot be continued because of the new law Affordable
Care Act. ACA also known as Obamacare is an act that will be fully go in effect
on 2014, it is a new set of changes that will help improve our healthcare. After Milkin explains her issue , she states
how Obama has promised to help people keep their doctors and health plan if
they wish, and describes him as a “lier”
who caused her health plan to die. Her Audience is people going through the
same issue as her, people who lost their health plans due to the new rules. Throughout the article she starts stating
companies and people that face problems with the Obamacare. You
can conclude that Malkin is against the Obamacare because all she states is
negative effects that will occur once the Obamacare takes in affect. Towards
the end she is very clear and biased and states “Obamacare is destroying the private individual market for
health insurance by design, not accident.”
According to me I do understand for her loss but I feel that she just too
negative about this Obamacare and she just needs to give it time to sink in.
