The Success of Obamacare

     The article "Why ObamaCare is a fantastic success?" by Wayne Allyn Root posted on Fox News tells us about The effects of ObamaCare. The author begins the article by telling the misunderstanding of GOP about ObamaCare. He writes "The GOP needs to stop calling ObamaCare a “trainwreck.” That means it’s a mistake, or accident. That means it’s a gigantic flop, or failure. It’s NOT." "It’s not a “train wreck,” ObamaCare is a suicide attack. He wants to hurt us, to bring us to our knees, to capitulate- so we agree under duress to accept big government."
    To support for his point of view, the author points out 6 success of ObamaCare:
1. ObamaCare was intended to bring about the Marxist dream.
Rich people, small business owners, and the middle class are being robbed, so that money can be redistributed to poor people.
2. ObamaCare was intended to wipe out the middle class and make them dependent on governmnet.
3. ObamaCare is intended to kill every decent paying job in the economy, creating only crummy part-time jobs.
4. ObamaCare is intended to bankrupt small business
the point of ObamaCare. Obama is bankrupting his political opposition and drying up donations to the GOP.
5. ObamaCare is intended to make the IRS all-powerful.
6. ObamaCare is intended to unionize 15 million healthcare workers.
      In my opinion, I am not really sure how ObamaCare affects the economy. However I can tell Americans will get alot of advantages, and benefits from this. For example, free annual checkups and many free tests and vaccines are added, and the Part D doughnut hole will be closed by 2020. Lifetime and annual coverage limits are out, as are rejections of coverage because of pre-existing medical conditions. Several new methods of stemming the surge in health care costs include rating providers to show which are the safest and most effective.
     Another immediate benefit provides that insurers must cover children up to their 26th birthday under their parents’ policies instead of ending coverage at the age of 19.
The biggest advantage of Obamacare is that it will bring most Americans under health insurance. About 19 percent are now uninsured. By 2016, only 8 percent are to remain uninsured.

Counter-terrorism policies live on the edge of international law!

According to an article "Has U.S. learned from past counter-terrorism mistakes in Africa?" posted on CNN news by Alex Vines, he writes Counter-terrorism policies live on the edge of international law. U.S. raids in Africa show that America's military is increasingly active on the continent. He made a question " In some cases U.S. military engagements in Africa have already caused further instability rather than reducing the risks for international peace and security?". He pointed out the answer by giving an example: after 2 decades since 1993, the U.S. and international community left Somalia to its own fate -- which has brought it back into the front-line of international counter-terrorism efforts.

"Counter-terrorism policies live on the edge of international law". I agree with author's point of view. The U.S. should learn how to stay away from the world's business. You can't just think if a terrorist group is planning to attack your citizens, anywhere in the world, any country has the right to defense. You need to have a further and deeper vision. For example, how it will affect the country that you will send the army to? Besides protecting your citizens, will u also be able to protect that country's citizens?

Finding workable strategies is hard. The question isn’t whether this administration or any administration gets it right the first time or even the second; the question is whether the folks in charge learn from experience and adjust.
