Source 2- Nuses Express Concerns about Health Law

Henneberger, Melinda. "Nurses express concerns about health law." Washington Post 19 Sept. 2013. Opposing Viewpoints In Context. Web. 16 Oct. 2013.

              This article is about how at at nurse conference of 1,500 people, they talk about the positives and negatives of the Affordable Health Care Act in America. Many of the nurses there were divided in their opinions of this future new law and its enrollment process.  Their first concern was pertaining to the hospitals and how they will continue to work with the new coverage for people. They believe that while the concept is good, but when it comes to reality, there might be discrepancies with how it is working and the most successful way to go about it is. Even though there could be problems many nurses also believe that with could come with many positives for the uninsured.
               This source can be very valuable for someone analyzing the positives and negatives of the Affordable Health Care Act because the opinions come from the people who work first hand with patients.  I can use this to talk about the effects that the new health care act will have on hospitals and their workers. This is also useful when getting the different takes on what they health care act will provide for tax paying American citizens.
