No wonder the Republicans Hid the Health Bill

  On Tuesday, March 7, 2017, the New York Times published an article titled No wonder the Republicans Hid the Health Bill.

 In the article, "No wonder the Republicans Hid the Health Bill," by the Editorial Board, mentions the Republican plan to replace the Affordable Care Act is not making progress, and they're hiding it to the general public because they can't find a better way to replace it. The argument being made in this editorial is that the Republicans are trying to make a law that would apply a per-person limit on how much the federal government spends on Health Care Insurance. The provided evidence informs the intended audience why this new law is a bad idea, "This change could shift about 370 billion of dollars in health care costs over 10 years to state governments." Many state governments will have to face limited budgets, and be forced to cut benefits or cover fewer people.

 The article, attempts to hook the reader's attention by providing some in depth information about the American Health Care Act Law. Also the author's use their knowledge to provide numerous statistics when they mention the comparison between the Affordable Care Act (Obama care) and the new American Health Care Act Law.  They provide credibility with their well-informed evidence that leads the reader to accept their point.

Overall the author's arguments that were made in the article were strong enough because they were well explained, and back up with good evidence. Their evidence towards their statement were brilliant. This article was written to inform the intended audience about what would happen if the Republicans pass this new law, even though they still haven't come up with a workable replacement
