On August 3, 2017, Kelly La posted an article titled "Nothing Trumps Obamacare," where she argued that the government should not put in place any reformations to Obamacare because it would be taking away healthcare for those with pre-existing conditions. I completely agree with this. It is insane to think that our government wants to take away something that helps so many people in need. La states, "1.7 million Americans are cancer patients. 3 kids a day are diagnosed with cancer. 5.4 million live with Alzheimer's. And 24 million will be uninsured if the ACA is repealed. Who will insurance companies serve if not for the sick?" 24 million people, uninsured just because Republicans are not happy with something the past president (who was a Democrat) helped establish. Repealing the ACA/reforming Obamacare would cause so much more harm than good. Who will help people who relied solely on Obamacare with their illnesses if it is taken away? Isn't healthcare there to help the sick? Are they saying that those suffering from something as terrible as cancer don't deserve the right to affordable healthcare? This is a prime example of politicians thinking about what's in it for them rather than what will help the citizens of this country. La's article is a great read for anyone who wants to learn more about how the ACA/ Obamacare helps those in need.
Until next time.
