Several thoughts on "Five Thoughts on the Obamacare Disaster"

In his article "Five Thoughts on the Obamacare Disaster," Ezra Klein gives examples of problems that Obamacare has already faced which later envelope out into what he claims to be a disaster. He points out the numerous technical issues that have been reported of the ObamaCare website, from glitches in the health care applications to how poorly developed it is for what should be a high security website. 

Klein suggests the Republican Party's participation in the government shutdown distracted the media from exactly how problematic and disastrous the Affordable Care Act has already proved to be. He describes potential in the idea that had the Republican Party not pushed for a government shutdown, outraging many citizens across the nation, they would have had more of a chance in both gaining widespread support and unveiling ObamaCare to be catastrophe. 

Ezra Klein also recalls Obama's reference in which he said that the Affordable Care Act launch would be similar to an Apple product launch. Klein wonders in his article, "Can you imagine how many people Steve Jobs would've fired by now if he'd launched a new product like this?" I think the point he is trying to make points out that an extremely successful business would have held people accountable for their any detrimental mistakes, but our government would typically never do such a thing. Comparing Barack Obama to Steve Jobs is some way hysterical, because Steve Jobs is a notorious example of a man who achieved the "American Dream" by ingenuity and excellence and our president is the man deemed for being in charge of our nation who is blamed for everything and having to sit through heavy criticism from his proposition towards health care in America. 

Although I think that "disaster" is a bit of an over exaggeration and that it is harsh to criticize the turnout of the Affordable Care Act so early into the process, I think Klein actually makes a few decent points. It's clear that he is making educated statements and well-informed examples to argue his opposition towards Obamacare, instead of ranting a bunch of unintelligent nonsense just because he wants to rival the president or a certain political party entirely. He acknowledges that "a lot of liberals will be angry over this post" and that the post would also tickle the fancy of many Conservatives. I think he is trying to find some sort of a medium for his audience, aiming to inform the public of his opinion regardless of their political stance. He puts what he believes out there understanding that it is impossible to please everyone when it comes to politics. 

Overall, I would have to say that Klein's article supports substantial evidence of the point that he is trying to display and also keeps somewhat of a balance between the "liberals and conservatives" who happen to be the biggest rivalry since the Bloods and the Crips. 

Also, I must say, that Klein gets a few extra points because he happens to be fairly attractive.
