Affordable Care Act

The U.S. Government is not under any official or mandatory obligation to ensure healthcare to its citizens. However, I personally believe that it is the governments responsibility to protect the people it was put in place to represent. According to the N.Y. Times study, “about 14 million eligible Americans are left uninsured and living in poverty”. Although 14 million is a small number compared to the growing number of American people, as a citizen, I am not proud to say that a percentage of my fellow Americans aren’t able to get affordable care due to certain states failure to expand. I think that it is necessary for states to expand in order to fill in the gaps, but I also believe that it is important to have limits. Care should be available specifically to those Americans who work and pay taxes, those who cannot work due to a certain condition, those who are under emergency circumstances, and children.

Playlist

Above is a playlist of ten songs that i thought might represent me. Ten songs probably won’t be enough for you to know the whole me, I think they give a pretty good idea of the kind of person I am. All of these songs are songs that i absolutely love and listen to frequently.  So I guess i have to explain why I actually picked them…here goes,

The first song, That’s Life by Frank Sinatra. I chose this song because the lyrics kind of relate to the way I see life. You could be happy, having the time of your life- and all of a sudden it sucks again, however your always going to try to pick yourself back up.

I chose Rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake, Release by Timbaland Feat. Justin Timberlake, and Get Down by the Backstreet Boys because these songs are fun, and i really have a good time listening to them.

Don’t Curse by Heavy D. I think this song is comical. i love hip-hop, so this kind of represents that without all the bleeps. It shows how you don’t need a bunch of trashy words to have good music. This can be applied to the life I live right now. I don’t need to act or behave trashy to have a good time in life.

Do Your Thing by Nsync is one of my favorite songs and I think it says two things about me. 1. I have a pretty corny taste in music. 2. I love those inspirational “You can do it!” songs. However, this song got me through some tough times.

The song Cruz by Christina Aguilera is about feeling free of all responsibilities and negative thoughts and just enjoying the moment your in, which is something I would like to do more often.

Get Off Of My Cloud by The Rolling Stones is about trying to live happy in your own little world, but there is always something that comes in and pulls you out.

For All We Know by Donny Hathaway is a song that describes two people who spend every waking moment together in fear that in the future they may never meet again. I can relate to this song because there are people in my life that i would like to be around all the time but cant, so when i do have a chance to chill with them i don’t take the time I do have with them for granted. Plus, i just think this guy is a phenomenal musician.

All Alone by Fun. kind of describes a guy who puts all his love towards an inanimate object in place of the person who doesn’t show him the love he shows them. Though i cant exactly relate to this particular situation, I really like to belt this song out. When i feel alone, or unappreciated i put all my energy into listening to music.

The End 🙂
