Reasons to Be Politically Aware

Synopsis

This podcast is NOT about finding a cause and becoming a political activist. We don't discourage that, but this podcast is mostly about thinking critically about what you hear and read and forming your own opinion. We don't discuss the recent Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). THis is a lndmark decision that will have an effect on your future. There are a lot of different views about whether the Affordable Care Act will be good for America or will make the United States financial situation worse. Within the podcast we talk about the importance thinking for yourself (thoughtfully forming opinions and being able to support those opinions).  To help you get started on your research about the Affordable Care Act here are a couple of good articles that share both sides of the argument. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-07-04/news/bs-ed-reimer-healthcare-20120704_1_health-care-affordable-care-act-generational-conflict http://blog.heritage.org/2012/07/02/morning-bell-too-many-broken-p
