In the editorial article, “Congress, End the Health Care Chaos. You Have 9 Million Kids to Protect.” The authors calls Congress to action around the Affordable Care Act reform. Apparently a bill is going through Congress that will supposedly reform a lot of damage the Trump administration has done and help with insurance costs while keeping many of the people, especially children, insured. The author is boldly holding the legislative branch accountable to making a decision quickly. Though there is a hint of disbelief whether anything will change. Especially regarding the Children Health Insurance Program (CHIP) which covers around 9 million children. The editors express anger that federal funding will run out and there will be no insurance coverage. I appreciated this article because it provided information, insight, and spoke out about injustices between both Republican and Democratic opinions and how that affects everyone involved. It especially illustrated the lies and mistakes that the Trump administration operate under and how blind the American public can be, the information I believe is valuable because many people might not know that these kind of budget cuts are occurring right underneath their noses.
The best part about the bill is that it is a bipartisan bill which means it has benefits for both parties. The author does a good job illustrating both ideas, the Republic benefits would deal with more state flexibility and allowing more high deductible plans. Contrasted by giving more money to insurers to be able to offer more people lower deductibles and co-payments. I agree with the plan this bill proposes and the authors lay out the information for the reader to know what it entails though I would say the tone of the article sways more to the left and is biased towards supporting the passing of this bill.
