Paul Krugman of the New York Times posted an editorial titled Republicans Leap Into the Awful Unknown. In the article, Krugman argues that the Congressional Budget Office’s criticism of the Republican healthcare plans is valid. He points out flaws and undeniable lies of the Trump administration, citing Pence’s assertion on Medicaid. By underscoring how American Academy of Actuaries along with the American Medical Association agree with the C.B.O.’s disagreement with Trump’s plans for healthcare, Krugman shows how official organizations support the C.B.O.’s view. Although the administration claims to be making health care cheaper and available to more people, Kruger disputes that the exact opposite is becoming the reality.

I would recommend this article because Krugman effectively shows the faults of the White House’s health care plan. Health care is essential for Americans; therefore, we have the duty to ensure that our health care is founded on a system that benefits the most people.
