Leary, Alex. "OBAMACARE GOLD: MILLENNIALS; Both sides in the battle aim to influence young people, who are a key element." Tampa Bay Times [St. Petersburg, FL] 13 Oct. 2013: 1A. Opposing Viewpoints In Context. Web. 16 Oct. 2013.
This article talks about how important young people, called Millenials are to the success or failure of the new Affordable Health Care bill. The need about 2 million young people to enroll in the program to ensure its future success. But there was been groups going around to college campuses discouraging many of these people to enroll in the program saying that there is too much government interference and that we do not want them now messing up their health insurance. Yet along with this group are others pushing the health care act to college students. They said when the students find out all the benefits that they can get from the new health care, it gets them more interested and excited about the new programs coming.
This is valuable because it speaks to me and my generation directly. This shows that in order for America to be successful the youth needs to be informed about whats going on and what the provisions of the new health care act will be. This article is useful because it does show two sides to the argument but clearly shows how the word about the health care act is getting throughout america.
