To Care or Not to Care: Obamacare
For the past years, our country’s health care programs have been asked and petitioned to be improved. President Obama took action into account and decided it was time for our nation to have an affordable and well operated health care program, known as Obamacare. A bill that would allow us to grow and succeed at an affordable cost, but to what expense? Obamacare has severe consequences that will harm our nation’s future and worsen our financial affairs.
Americans have to be informed about these negative outcomes Obamacare will bring upon us.
There are many factors contributing to the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, followed by different opposing viewpoints. Alexandra Booze, author of Facts of Obamacare: Inside Look at the Pros and Cons of the New Health Law, states some important facts that perhaps we may have not been informed about. She reports the effects the ACA will have on small businesses, the future of the health care workforce, and the American public’s understanding on this new and important bill. Booze says that the ACA will lead small companies to cut back workers’ hours so that they do not have to provide healthcare for them. Booze mentions that, “ Three of the nation’s largest unions sent a letter to House and Senate Democratic leadership last week claiming that
Obamacare would ‘shatter not only our hard-earned health benefits, but destroy the foundation of the 40-hour workweek that is the backbone of the American middle class’”. Those who agree upon this new health care law, is agreeing to destroy what has made America a successful nation

in the world. She then indicates that because the bill has been held back until two years from now, businesses will not have to cut workers’ hours until then.
Another factor Booze brings up, are the causes that Obamacare will have on the future of the health care workforce.
