The article chosen explains in great detail the dynamics of the Affordable Care Act and the new Patients Bill of Rights that assures patients protection. The Affordable Care Act provides American's with better coverage and lower costs. The Blue Cross Blue Shield in North Carolina is willing  to provide more than 155 million dollars in rebates. However, just as the American people started to hold insurance companies accountable, a new Congressional Republican agenda puts them back in charge. Repeal of the Affordable Care act has real consequences for the American people. For instance, seniors will have to pay more for their prescription drugs and their Medicare benefits will be cut. There are also consequences for small businesses because it will raise taxes by 40 billion dollars on up to 4 million small businesses that provide health benefits for their employees.
