Law 201-03
December 16, 2013 Question I. Section A. The Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act of 2010 (PPAHA), also known as, The Affordable Care Act, is a health care reform act that was put into effect to make healthcare available to all Americans. If you are already insured, your plan will not be affected unless the plan was put in effect after March 2010. If you are not insured or are self-employed, this act will allow you to be able to purchase your plan through state based subsidies. The act makes it mandatory for the health care to cover 10 health care benefits. Under the Act, you are allowed to stay under your parent’s health insurance until you are 26. You also cannot get denied further coverage from your insurance company if you fall ill. Although this act was put into effect for good reasons, there are also some downsides. If you decide not to get healthcare, you have to pay a fee each month. Although it was stated people would be able to keep their plans, millions were cancelled by the insurance companies. Most are going to be forced to switch to Obamacare unwillingly in order to get insured again.

    The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 is the first major healthcare act passed since the 1967's Medicare and Medicade act. Obamacare is the name given by critics, because of the power that is given to the federal government to regulate healthcare prices. The reason given that this act was passed is that it willl save billions of federal dollars each year. Many people against the act believe it should be repealed ,and the reason for this is, because it gives away healthcare to people who don't pay for it. The act also takes away from seniors who really need the medi,cade benefits, and also makes doctors increase how much people pay them. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 is an extreme set of laws that give the federal government too much power over health care, lets government choose the price of health care, takes away health benefits from senior citizens, takes away more care from people who work for it truly deserve the care, and in addition it is already costing three times more than what it was expected to cost.…

    Throughout the years there has been an ongoing debate over the Second Amendment and how it should be interpreted. The issue that is being debated is whether our government has the right to regulate guns. The answer of who has which rights lies within how one interprets the Second Amendment. With this being the case, one must also think about what circumstances the Framers were under when this Amendment was written. There are two major sides to this debate, one being the collective side, which feels that the right was given for collective purposes only. This side is in favor of having stricter gun control laws, as they feel that by having stricter laws the number of crimes that are being committed with guns will be reduced and thus save lives. However while gun control laws may decrease criminals' access to guns, the same laws restricts gun owning citizens who abide by the law; these citizens make up a great majority of the opposing side of this argument. These people argue that the law was made with the individual citizens in mind. This group believes that the Amendment should be interpreted to…
