The Downfall of America
“Americans are finally seeing and feeling the effects of the Affordable Care Act, also known as ‘Obamacare.’ People who voted for Obama and supported Obamacare wanted other people to pay for their health insurance.

Thirty four Democrats and all 178 Republicans voted against Obamacare, and on March 23, 2010 Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law (Parker 1-5).
