The following response is based upon this article by Ed Hornick, CNN.
Recently, Republicans in the House of Representatives have begun the process to try and repeal President Obama's health care reform law. This article successfully breaks down the issue by presenting the opposing views of both political parties. The author goes on to write about how Republicans, who have the majority in the House and a good number of seats in the Senate, are living up to their campaign promises to repeal Obama's health care plan. But, the chances of repeal are actually slim to none, for it may get passed in the House, but the Senate is mainly controlled by the Democrats. Most Republicans have even conceded the fact that a full, outright appeal of the law is seemingly impossible. Yet, they are hoping to eliminate specific parts of the law, and de-fund portions of it. Polls have shown that American's might be unhappy with the law, which is only fueling the fire for Republicans. All the while, Democrats are arguing that the public is behind the law, which supposedly has helped many people already, and are very angry at the GOP's efforts to repeal it.
This leaves us all wondering... what in the world will happen with heath care? And will the Democrats and Republicans ever be able to find a happy medium?
After reading and examining this article I concluded that it is journalism. The article is not bias, and actually presents how both opposing sides feel about the issue of health care reform. The information in the article was supported correctly by statistics, outside sources, and quotes, all helping to prove its credibility and ability to inform the people about themselves. From this article people should be able to process and dissect the information available (along with watching the videos) and form their own opinion on the health care reform law.
This CBT relates to the article above, because God is the one in control of all things. He was in control in the recent mid-term elections in which Republicans gained control of the House. Therefore, He has a plan for America, our country, and even for health care reform. Maybe God put Republicans in charge so that they may repeal the law, or at least make changes to make people more happy with its provisions. No matter it is important to remember His sovereignty in all situations.
