Some of you are likely thinking of entering the medical field and it is an exciting time to be doing so! As you know the government passed a health care bill, Affordable Care Act (ACA) aka Obamacare, in 2010 that proposes some changes that will be in place at varying times; some laws went into very quickly after passage while others are not in place until this year. Task: Do some research on the new health care bill and what things will and will not change with our health care system. Students with last names beginning with M through Z will take the "Pro" view of the new health care bill and will point out its merits. Students with last names beginning with A through L will take the "Con" view of the bill and point out its faults. Also feel free to share personal stories of health care issues and what other changes you think might work for our flawed health care system. Before you begin posting, be sure to do some solid research on the topic. This is not about politics, so don't focus your thinking or post on it. Focus on what the bill actually states. Then argue your point (either "Pro" or "Con") based on your last name using solid facts you find during your research. Be sure to cite your sources so others can check them out when responding to you.
