Texas Policy released an article about our health. Insurance failures expose Obamacare fatal flaw states that when Washington expands healthcare bureaucracy people will get less care, not more. Insurances like UnitedHealth, Humana, Anthem Blue Cross have quite selling ObamaCare because selling it is a "money-loser".

Carries like Aetna, UnitedHealth, and Humana have lost millions and billions of dollars selling it. The Aetna CEO said that ObamaCare has put health insurance into a "death spiral." Now we have less carries willing to sell health insurance, and it gives monopoly power. Patients will struggle with finding a doctor who will care for them, or have to wait a long time to even see a family physician.

And things get worse. Instead of fixing the problem and it not being expensive, they are now talking about tweaking our president's odious legacy. GOP leaders think that by passing new regulations they will fix the problem. This is another way of them showing that they continue doing the same thing, work on something that doesn't necessary work.

I  chose "The Lack of Logic Behind HB 375- Commentary" by Emily Ward, because it was a very well written topic.  In her topic she wrote about a problem that Texas could be facing. She did her research about what House Bill 37 is, and what is consist of. She did a very well job at giving us background about the problem, giving us some information about the cost of the situation, and her opinion about is was clearly well written. Reviewing her post made me go into my own research, and see that the state of Texas is at risk of HB 37. Guns are no toy. I believe we should not become the 12th state to adopt HB 37. There are rules and procedures that gun holders need to follow.

  In December Uber and Lyft threaten to leave the city of Austin if they forced some of the policies taxi drivers have to follow. Ridesharing worker and independent local organizations have gather signatures to force these policies on Uber and Lyft. Once Austin was presented with these signatures they had to make a decision, to not finger print Uber and Lyft drivers and use the same policies they use for taxi drivers, or to take the ballot in elections this May. 

Uber and Lyft should have to the same policies as taxi drivers. They need a background check and need to meet the safety requirements. I would like to know that im getting from point A to B safely if and whenever I use Uber of Lyft. Houston and San Antonio, along with other cities have had some bad experiences with public transportation like Uber and Lyft. No one is asking Uber of Lyft to leave, the city actually benefits from their services. They provide a safe ride home when leaving downtown, or simply just provide transportation for people that need it. We are just simple asking them to take more safety transportation requirements.
