Error after error.

The Federal Insurance Market Place has problems with their enrollment records as many Americans are coming across errors. They might not get the coverage they were expecting in the next month. The errors have affected about one third of the population who have signed up since October 2nd. Many errors occurring are ones such as failing to duplicate enrollment records, unable to cancel any enrollments and notification errors since healthcare.gov opened. Many officials of the website say the errors occur because of the servers who are trying to use the website tend to do simple things like double clicking too much. On Monday there have been more than a dozen fixes to the site and errors occurring lowered from 3% to .5%. There has been 18000 enrollments within the past 24 hour period. This has been the greatest increase and improvements number wise for the site. Although there has been many problems with attaining healthcare. There are efforts to fix the system. The overall performance of the site is not all great but certainly soon there shall be a better and more reliable solution to getting healthcare in a faster and more efficient manner.  

Should Obama really be impeached?

Christina Conditt's Blog post about President Obama says that he should be impeached in order to keep our nation alive. Looking back at the past four years President Obama has not worked up to the expectations that he promised back when he was first inaugurated. He has been promoting "Obama Care" that has left many Americans without healthcare. He has wasted millions of dollars on a plan he claimed would be "shovel ready" but then later confesses there are no such things as "shovel ready". He yes has helped with the unemployment rate but has cost the nation trillions of dollars. President Obama has been a little over his boundaries as president and needs them to be re evaluated. He has not been the worst president in history but surely has not been very good in his current term. Obama does need to be impeached, and if he is not you better hope the American public can see what situation he has put our nation in. So when the next Presidential election arrives next year, there wont a second term for President Obama. Times are rough right now in the U.S. and we need to set our nation in the right direction.

Is Obama Care a failure?

Is Obama Care a failure?

 

             The website has had several difficulties working and many are without health care. Many insurance companies have dropped Americans from their plans since the policies don't meet the requirements under Obama Care. The Democrats have not met the requirements they had promised back in 2010. Women are charged 50 percent more then men. Is this even considered legal? The health plans are bad for the consumer. Although the website has gone under some work how much longer can Americans wait? Should this policy be enforced so that Americans receive such flimsy coverage that goes away when its needed? With such problems and flaws with this system I would say Obama Care does need various changes and improvements. I wouldn't call it a failure but do take notice of the differences between the poor coverage and the promises that were first introduced two years ago. Everyone must have health care by March 31, 2014 or they will be forced to pay a penalty fee. This does not support Obama when  he said "if you like your healthcare plan you can keep it". The website has left the Republicans with a i told you so kind of response. Obama Care has proven so far to be a mess. It has left many Americans with questions and insecurities about their health plans. It is yet still to early to determine if whether Obama care is a success or a failure as many have already labeled it, but if some action is not done to better the plan or solutions come to place Obama Care might as well be labeled a failure later in the future.

Minimum wage

On Tuesday Oct 22, 2013 Laura Clawson posted on The Daily Kos about minimum wage. She explains how minimum wage is seven-twenty five and has remained the same for seventy five years. If the Democrats had controlled both houses of congress minimum wage would pass in large amounts, but Republicans don't want to be seen voting against them. Therefore it has not changed. Laura also explains how our minimum wage has lost a third of its value since nineteen sixty eight and working a minimum full time job still falls under the poverty line for a family of two. She comes to the conclusion that republicans are wanting to slow us down. I agree with this conclusion. Minimum wage is remaining the same while the prices of everything are only increasing. As long as Republicans control the house of congress I could say I don't see minimum wage changing either. Plans have been proposed but you can still see why minimum wage has remained the same for seventy-five years. I worked at a restaurant for minimum wage and have to say that my pay was fairly low. There needs to be an increase to the minimum pay of what Laura explains as these only part time jobs with un predictable schedules. I can't picture looking forward in time seeing that minimum wage has remained the same for 80 years while prices has increased even more then previous stats. I could see how for example fast food prices have rose quite an amount while the people who start there have had the same start for almost a century. This needs to change. There should be no reason for having pay so low after so long.  

Immigration

On October 6, 2013 The Editorial Board posted an article on the New York Times about control methods for immigration. They talk about how a bill was passed in June and the house democrats have tried to show there version of the bill with the same comprehensive proposals along with a plan of a "stricter fence" hoping the republicans would sign the bill and of course had gone nowhere considering that each vote may help pass a bill with possible citizenship for an about 11 million undocumented immigrants. ever since the government had went into this shutdown immigration had become an issue still unsolved. as this stalemate continues the editorial says for anyone who is interested In the issue should look into California and speaks of governor brown who has made a huge stride for a possible agenda that will be a huge benefit to aid with immigration. I agree with this democratic governor considering that California is a home to an estimate 2.5 million undocumented immigrants. he on Saturday signed the "trust act" which gave some benefits to undocumented immigrants saying officers cannot detain any immigrants who aren't criminal offenders. and on Thursday brown signed a bill allowing driver licenses for immigrants. the editorial speaks of safer roads and more opportunity's. he says that California is going on the edge with these plans and that California cannot obviously fix the whole system but can make some huge differences and address issues and prod Washington for example. the editorial also says that the shadow existence of 11 million is not unsustainable and mass deportation is not an option. I agree. we cannot just keep deporting immigrants. Obama is on the verge of setting a record. 2 million had already been deported in his time of presidency. Washington can be prodded to extend the rights and maybe possible citizenship for immigrants. even though brown is the only one who is taking action with this issue while the government is shutdown. and California would be the best place to start with the stunning population of immigrants growing. 

Guns Blazing

On September 23, 2013 the New York Times posted an article "Shots Heard as Kenya Presses Assault Against Mall Attackers". Islamist stormed into a mall and shots were fire, bombs exploded leaving more than 60 killed and more than 150 injured. This is another national terrorist attack in  history. A big concern is why is this happening and whose next? On 9/11 2001 we the U.S. were attacked by terrorist. although we are currently in conflict with the events in Syria should this not be a huge concern for our nation? we do tend to take most matters in our hands. you can consider that Kenya is not the ultimate power with military strength. should the U.S. assist Kenya if matters get worse? what if a war soon breaks out in Kenya? who will help them. we have always token national concern and notice of such matters in history. read this article and think about all the possibilities that may result of this bloody attack and what will it lead for the future and the U.S.
