Today, Ryan Struyk posted an article on CNN about the struggle of agreement that the Senate Republicans are having about repealing Obamacare. The Senate Republicans have been trying to agree for weeks but they cannot come together to an agreement because the senators have reasons to oppose. Because some Senators talked about opposing a previous plan, it was rewritten.
The article provides charts that focus on why 10 Republicans opposed the early bill made by Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell and possible future of some decisions. Some of the problems that may occur are, the nonelderly would become uninsured, it would cut Medicaid funds, the percentage of uninsured residents will increase again, or some of the Senators represent states who were blue or purple states. Overall, the whole problem is that the states that the Senators represent would be affected which would not look good on them at all so they have to make a decision to go against what their state has or to go with it and oppose the plan again.
This is important to know about because citizens need to be aware of what could affect their lifestyle drastically. Also, they need to see and know who is representing them in their state. We are now going through a change of health care and we have had it the same way throughout Obama's presidency. We will be able to see what the Senators will come up with which may surprise many.
