"OPINION: A tour of health care -- The road to Obamacare is littered with past attempts at universal coverage." Anniston Star [Anniston, AL] 29 Sept. 2013. Opposing Viewpoints In Context. Web. 16 Oct. 2013.
This opinion article talks about the differing opinions about "Obamacare" and what it will do for America. It also goes through the history of health care in America and the ways in which many different presidents tried to create a universal health plan but could not succeed. Obama's bill was the first one to ever get passed and held constitutional by the Supreme Court, showing that there is a need and there is merit to this new law. It will be a fixture in American life if it turns out to be as successful as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security is.
This is valuable because along with the background information about the way to get a universal health care system in America, it goes into Obama's universal health care and how it will be used in the future.
