Pear, Robert. "Republicans Refuel Effort To Cripple Health Care Law." New York Times 2 Aug. 2013: A13(L). Opposing Viewpoints In Context. Web. 16 Oct. 2013.
This
article is mostly about the Republicans and their opinions towards the
affordable health care act. According to the article, the republicans will do
anything to stop the law from passing because they believe the law infringes on
the rights of Americans and they are also bitter because they were said to have
been left out of the decision process when making the law in the first place. It
is also mentioned that many problems will arise from this by employees cutting
workers hours in order to get out of paying for their health insurance. They
are indignant on not spending any money on Obama care and do not want it to
pass.
This
source is important because it gives a fairly recent idea of what people, in
the article especially republicans, on how they feel about the law and why they
will not pass it. This is useful in
getting more varied opinions about the law and what people think of it.
