reimbursement cuts to doctors

How insurance exchanges will affect doctor's incomes
by: Leigh Page July 10 2013

Due to the new "affordable care act" doctors may face substantial cuts in their pay checks. Since the ACA passed doctors must now accept new patients and exchange patients, by doing this  doctors lose 30%-40% for reimbursement from the insurance companies that they work with now. I think that cutting the pay of doctors is not right, doctors now have to deal with more paperwork per patient and they are facing pay cuts. I think that it is not right that our doctors who work hard and save and change lives every day should have to face pay cuts on 30%-40%, let me know what you think.

Effects of the government shutdown

The economic consequences of the government shutdown by: Matthew O'Brien oct. 2 2013 the Atlantic

The consequences of this government shutdown may not be large but they are definitely larger than we think, right now the direct consequences are mainly felt by the government workers who have been put into a state of furlough which cuts down on the GDP by .15 percent to .2 percent. The government may not pay the government workers on furlough back pay which may result in a more drastic affect on their individual households. I think that this whole government shutdown is bad for the economy and it is unfair to the unessential government workers because our government should have passed a budget and now the workers are suffering due to the governments mistakes.
