Summary of the Event (at least 3 major points; each point will have its own paragraph)
A. The problem with Obamacare isnt only about taking it off quickly but the process of
it and it dealing with 20 million people across the country. House Speaker, Paul Ryan
had announced assurance saying that nobody is worse off after the removement and
that it will surely take time. Opposing to this, health experts say that even if it were to
be the simplest repeal, the aftermath would lead to unhappy patients and disruptions.
Senior Vice President of the Kaiser Family Foundation Larry Levitt also opinionated
and said, It took Democrats decades to get a health reform plan passed and
Republicans are now on the clock with much less time to figure this all out. Reforming
health care inevitably involves winners and losers and disruption, and that's why it's
controversial. If it were easy, it would have already happened.
B. "Repeal is easy. They know what to do. They've done it before," former Health and
Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt told CNN. "Replace will be more complex
there are different views on how it should be done...And I don't think there's any clarity
on that yet. In contrast, Trump had stressed out and stated that after he had won the
election, the repeal and replace would happen simultaneously. "I know how to do this
stuff," Trump told CBS's Leslie Stahl. "We're not going to have a two-year period
where there's nothing." Congressional Republicans because of the repeal are trying
tackle both of them down in an unrealistic time. Theres an option in instead making an
repeal and delay. giving the lawmakers three years to come up with a replacement
model.
C. If theres one prediction that will come with the removal of Obamacare, lawmakers will
experience fury coming from many hospitals, insurers, and drug companies.
These companies have been keeping an eye out for Obamacare ever since its release
along with Trumps public remarks. Not only are Democrats stressing out on this,
but Republicans have been urging calmness about the potential chaos of repealing
Obamacare before the replacement as in reality, insurance market is already a bit jittery.
Even if lawmakers delay the removal from going into effect, insurers are willing to
submit their initial rate filing for 2018. In effect to the deadline nearly approaching,
Republicans are starting to feel at stake. "Carriers will go on the defensive," Robert
Laszewski, who runs Health Policy and Strategy Associates, told CNNMoney. "They
reason into which they stand. Theres people who really need the insurance but on the
opposing side, theres those who dont and will pay extra for literally nothing. If the
Republicans get what they want after all, I hope that theyre thinking smartly in making
Relate your Event to a Historical Event (compare and contrast with current event).
A historical event I could compare this to would be to the lawmaking of the abolishment
towards slavery many years ago. Theres two sides to both events; those who oppose
and those who agree. With how debates are starting to increase because of the
repealment of Obamacare, conflict will evolve, splitting the country again into two, just
like it did with slavery. The thirteenth amendment passed and it made people move on.
If this happened with slavery ending, then a simple argument could also be abolished.

The event falls into the theme of Political Structures. Theres conflict found in the
event with political parties, Democrats and Republicans from a future action.
Conflict will also soon develop as the future actions of removing the insurance cause
