OBAMA CARE IS BEING CHALLENGE

                                                     

After three years of debate, the Supreme Court ruled the Obama care constitutional. For the Democratic Party it was a big victory while Republicans were not satisfied by the Supreme Court decision. Whether you are Republican or Democrat it is very important to understand that it is very difficult for lower income people to afford regular health insurance. After Republicans were defeated last summer they began to form committees within the party so they can repeal the Supreme Court decision. Most of the Republicans claim that Obama Care is Unconstitutional. As of today President Obama health care is on trouble.

            Democrats promised that Obama Care would create jobs, lower health care cost in which Republicans thinks that the Obama Care would harm the economy. According to the Republicans, the Obama Care would raise health care spending by $580 million; and 7 million people their employer-sponsored health care over a decade.     

            For Republican Obama care is no longer a health care issue instead it had become political issue. In order for the Obama Care to be repeal, Republican senator from Kentucky McConnell mention that republicans have to take back control of the senate in the past election. Senator McConnell was hoping that the Republican Party would control both the white house and the senate in order to appeal the Supreme Court ruling. However, that’s not what happened. Obama was re-elected again and Democrat Party still controls the senate. However, after the election was over Republicans didn't stop to criticize the Obama Care and came up with new different ways of repealing it. According to Republican senate Hatch, there are 34 Democrats have joined the Republican in challenging the Obama Care and are trying to repeal the Obama Care’s medical –device tax. What is surprising is that some of the Democrat senators are now opposing the Obama Care. More than half of the Democrat senators vote to repeal the Obama Care. Thursday night the senate voted to 79-20 to repeal a 2.3% sales tax on medical device. However, the problems that Republican are facing toward this is that while their want repeal the whole Obama while Democrat Senators only want repeal some part out.           

As of right now it hard for Republicans to repeal Obama Care, if there are seriously of repealing Obama care then they have to take back the senate in 2014 election and win the white house two years after in 2016. In order for Republican to take back the senate they have to win half a dozen seats, Whether or not is going to be easy for them to do all of that is debate. To show how seriously Republicans are on repealing Obama Care, Representative Michelle Bachmann said that Obama Care will kill people. She said that “We’re here because we’re saying let’s repeal this failure before it literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens. Let’s not do that. Let’s love people, let’s care about people. Let’s repeal it while we can”. Whether or not Republican would be successful to repeal it, they need to keep in mind of 45,000 Americans die every year because they don’t have money to afford health insurance from private companies.
