Current Events Article

Paragraph

According to the Obama administration, more than 9 million American citizens gains health

insurance since 2014. This statistic led to about 10.4% of Americans who were uninsured in 2014

and continues to decrease. Also, employment numbers continues to increase in the work force.

Unfortunately, there is no significant change in the American household income. The Census

Bureau reports that the household income for Americans is about $53,660 and 46.7 million people

were in poverty in 2014. These statistics show that the Affordable Care Act is working, but does

not show improvement in household income. Lawrence Mishel, president of the Economics Policy

Institute, states that since there is no improvement in workers’ wages, there is no improvement in

the household income.

Paragraph

After reading this news article, I thought it was very interesting about healthcare and income. I

think this article will have other readers think about the Affordable Care Act as a healthcare

principle to improve health and the economy. Some people may see changes in their healthcare and

household income sometime in the future. I see no difference in changing my mind about

Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act is making improvements in cost, quality, and access in

healthcare. I think this article was a good idea because it can make people aware that the Affordable

Care Act is looking to improve healthcare, the economy, and household income for everyone and

will continue to improve.

Paragraph

It’s very significant for everyone to think and care about their healthcare and income. Most

importantly, everyone should be more concern about the United States economy in healthcare. The

Affordable Care Act makes us think about how our health affects the future. Also, this article

expands more that Obamacare is not only about everyone having basic security in healthcare, but

about improving jobs, income, and the economy. It can take some research and reading to make

people aware how Obamacare is improving.
