The Affordable Care Act or “Obamacare” as it is commonly called will go into full effect next year. Due to the political rhetoric, partisan bias and possible Racial undertones, the ACA has not been fully embraced by all states and their residents. Where ACA is implemented, it is working good and not so good but that is not a bad thing since any new program has to be tested to get it right.  This lack of backing is due more to the political skewing of the act as opposed to the laying out of the act as it as written. It was (and still is) incumbent on the 535 to diligently and properly assess and examine ALL proposed laws for validity and correctness but in this case and who knows how many others the Congress acted outside the needed objectivity for ANY proposed legislature. This has been the case for more years than we know and to our detriment. Keep in mind that these are people who OK’d going into Iraq based on faulty information causing billions of dollars and countless lives to be lost in a misplaced cause that benefitted their own more than the American people or the Iraqi people. We as voters should be REQUIRED to pay attention to what our representatives do because our lack of attention to anything but irresponsible rhetoric with a political bent is what allowed the Congress to bring us to the state we are in. We have the possibility of making the  changes in the political system but only if we stop waiting for someone else to do it. Our task is simply to start voting incumbents out, even if the new person is not our perfect choice, remember we can remove them in the next election. Trial and error will cause some problems but I believe  the message sent by voters will bring a better selection of candidates and perhaps a better government overall.
