“Progressive Critics of Obamacare Still Not Happy: Is Glass Half Empty or Half Full” is an article by Steven Rosenfeld that systematically examines the criticisms of the Obamacare by citing pertinent reformists including Trudy Lieberman who argues that the Act failed to meet its objective. Rosenfeld also alludes to Kai Wright who emphasizes on the fact that the for the act to generate the desired results, various steps ought to be taken into account such as the expansion of enrollment in Medicaid and embracing measures that prevent the hiking of the prices. According to the author, however, opponents of the Obamacare are unfair owing to the fact that they excessively lay emphasis on what has for a long time been dysfunctional in insurance and political realm while overlooking the achievements of the act (Rosenfeld n.p). Rosenfeld further argues that
...opponents, specifically Lieberman have failed to acknowledge the resources spent to tarnish the act, an occurrence that has had a significant impact on the public misunderstanding of the act. The article divulges that even though the Act may be expensive and neglects some citizens, it has yielded better results compared to the previous American Health Care System. Reports from Kaiser Website indicate that regardless of the fact that the premiums rates are increasing, it is better to embrace the act as opposed to having no coverage at all (Rosenfeld n.p).
