The After Hearings Questions • 1. What was your original opinion of the ACA? • 2. Has your opinion changed? Why/ why not? • 3. What do you know NOW that you didn’t know before about the ACA? (and there has been plenty enough discussed to learn something—whether it influences you or not) • a. • b. • c. • 4.

The Essay I expect a well written essay— the full meal deal. (50 points worth!!) • Attention to detail • Proper form • revision Is the Affordable Care Act something that the U.S. should embrace or is it too much government forced into the lives of Americans.
