Dr. Flowers Summary
After watching Dr. Flowers and seeing the way she perceives Obamacare, I personally have the say that I agree with her. She explained that since Obamacare is always praised, and always in the limelight, there are many drawbacks that must be brought to the forefront. One of the challenges that she brought up in her critique was that Obamacare has done nothing but force people to buy private insurance, create insurance exchanges, as well as spend more money to hire tons of people to knock on doors to sell private insurances. Not only are people forced into buying one of these private insurances, they’re also forced into paying more out of pocket expenses if they are seriously injured and have to go to an “out of network” doctor. It is not a step
towards single payer but it is in fact helping the corporate insurance group grow. However, I can also see where a supporter of the law could argue her standpoint, as I previously stated, Obamacare is perceived as such a wonderful program that is going to be beneficial to anyone without health insurance, and since it has only been in effect for a few years, we are not going to see a drastic changes yet. With all that being said, I think it would be more beneficial for someone to hear the positive as well as the negative sides of Obamacare and then let someone decide for themselves whether or not they want to participate.
