Struggle for Power

The Health Care law to me is of the hottest and most important topic right now in politics considering we have a midterm elections coming Nov. 2. The election could determine whether the law gets the funding it needs to run properly once it’s put into motion in 2014 considering who wins or holds the majority in the house of represitives.
 The article that I read from the Washington Post titled: Win or Lose, Republicans to target new health-care after November elections describes exactly what’s going to happen if the Republicans get that majority and gain control of the House.” I am committed to doing everything that I can do… to prevent ‘Obamacare’ from being implemented.” A pretty bold statement to me made by House Minority Leader John a Boehner is basically the whole tone of the article with details on how the GOP plans to do this like regulating the spending budgets across the board including the presidential budget.
 I think that this article was a well worth read because to me if the republicans where to win the majority in the house in a way it would be a sort of balance of power considering that the republicans and the democrats would have to come to some kind of agreement for thing to work properly. Also explaining the effects of the potienal swing of power the article goes in on the challenges the HHS (Health and Human Services) would have if the GOP where to win.
 Also the fact that president Obama would basically have to work with the GOP in times when he really doesn’t want to me could help work on the relationship between the president and the GOP.
