Obamacare is Seen As Government Failure

In recent news we all have heard of the issues for the website in regards of people signing up for Obama Care. If you don’t know what Obama Care is the unofficial name for The Patient Protection and Affordable Care act and it is a health care plan, which was created in order to reform the health care system. Its purpose was to give quality insurance and health care to Americans while reducing the amount the people spend. Since the day the site was launched they have been numerous problems back-to-back and day after the day the issues haven’t been sorted out. A lot of people have been blaming Obama for the troubles associated with the site, but a lot of other feels it’s the government’s failure.

The government is responsible for taking care of the people and when they knew that this site was involving its American people they should of stepped up and made sure as little glitches as possible. Anchor Hari Sreenivasan in a segment stated “Now a look at some of the larger issues raised in the ongoing debate over the Affordable Care Act, questions of how deeply a government should involve itself in the personal welfare of its citizens, of individual rights and collective responsibilities, even whether the law's troubled rollout might be seen as a challenge to the viability of the liberal philosophy at its core”. The government has failed their people because they did not ensure they would be protected and that is their job, they failed us a leader. 

While many tend to feel this way, others do not blame the government they blame Obama. For example and I quote The New York Times columnist David Brooks who broke down this plan in terms of football “I have to say, people are appraising whether this government can work. Can government be nimble? Can it learn from its mistakes? And I would say the website is just a small symptom that is not nimble. Government is like an offensive lineman. It can do something really well. It can do blocking. It can create order. But when you as”. 

With all this issues I believe something needs to step up and fix these issues. This is innocent life we are talking about, we can play the blame game all we like but at the end of the day the site needs to be fix. People need affordable health care to survive, the bill is passed now we as a government and those under President Obama need to ensure that it is fixed. 

Who do you believe should be blamed for the failures associated with Obama Care?
