Enough Arguments


In the article GOP to Obama: Don’t stop us, we’re on a negotiating roll, author Jim Mitchell makes a claim that conservatives are making multiple arguments to prevent Obamacare. He disagrees with his colleague Bill McKenzie saying the tweaking of Obamacare will bring peace and harmony to legislative. I agree with Jim Mitchell in this editorial.

Obamacare is the law of the land, it has already been passed. Since so many people are against it they tried to stop it at every level. Mitchell tells the different levels to prevent Obamacare in which the conservatives failed. They are all true so it supports his claim. Conservatives wanted to stop Obamacare from getting out of congress, it did not work. Then it became a challenge to the constitution stating it was un-American and illegal. Clearly it wasn’t and Obamacare keeps pressing forward with more arguments trying to hold it back. The argument to repeal, defund and delay all lost one after the other. The main argument in his editorial is about tweaking Obamacare. His colleague believes if Obama agrees to reconfigure or eliminate the tax on medical devices, it can speed up the process of the government shut down. If not than it can also influence the debt limit. Although Obamacare has been passed it has not been into effect yet and it doesn’t have a few years under it. So Mitchell thinks you can’t tweak it we don’t know if it needs adjusting now. He makes a point Obamacare will cost a lot in the long run but the arguments are not sufficient enough to stop it.
