Repealing and replacing Obamacare

It has been announced that on December 12, 2016 that president elect Donald Trump will be repealing and replacing Obamacare with something else. Obamacare also known as The Affordable Care Act is a health care system that is more affordable and helps people to support their family. Obamacare would no longer be supported in January 20 and this could affect 22.8 million people who are currently using Obamacare.

Obamacare being repealed means that many people would not have health care and have to find another one that might be expensive or poor. This could affect people because most cheap healthcare systems are most likely to have more problems. People who get hurt or seriously injured could have an affect if they don’t have health care because they would have to pay even more than before. Obama care is used by millions. This event could cause people to go broke to try and afford a different health care that is experience.

December 7, 2016 was the 75th anniversary of pearl harbor. Bringing the United States to World War II, Pearl Harbor happened in December 7th, 1941 in Hawaii after Japan surprised attacked Pearl Harbor causing 188 aircrafts to be destroyed killing about 2,403 Americans and wounding 1,187 people. A reunion has been held to remember the people who survived or died during the attacks.

Nonfiction Blog

The book that I am currently reading is called Maus by Art Spiegelman. The book is about a Jewish soldier name Vladek sharing his stories about the war and his experience during the Holocaust to his son who is working on an article about the event. The book starts off with Vladek sharing his experience as a war prisoner and when the war ended the holocaust was starting to commence. He also shares his stories on how he and his family were struggling to live during the holocaust from hiding to lack of rations. The stories also talks about the events during the holocaust and how people were sent to Auschwitz and were killed.

The thing that interested me was when Vladek was telling his nephew to go hide in the bunker but his nephew refused to hide and accepted his faith to go to Auschwitz. This interested me because most people would actually accept hiding in a bunker to avoid getting killed in Auschwitz, but the fact that his nephew refused to go with him is quiet strange considering he accepted his fate of death. Another thing that interested me is that one of his friends gained a Nazi's trust and anytime he catches anyone who knows the guy, he actually let's them go safe. This is interesting because most Nazis don't accept anyone's trust especially a Jewish person.

The thing that I learned in Maus is that most Jews tend to spend most of their time building bunkers to avoid being sent to Auschwitz. Another thing that I learned is that some Jewish officers are actually forced to work with the Nazi's like finding Jews hiding and searching for missing people and such, there are even officers who transport Jews to Auschwitz which is quiet shocking. The thing that I wouldn't forget is that people suffer with their families during the holocaust and all the work people put into to try and avoid places like these.
