1.  After reading Dye (Chapter 8) and reflecting upon the chapter.  In 2010, the federal government passed the Affordable Care Act.  This was in response to the increasing costs for American Health Care.  Understanding the readings, the issues with health care costs, would you keep the ACA, or repeal the ACA?  Why?  Remember to use examples and not anecdotes from Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck.
