I am looking for some articles discussing the problems with Obamacare that aren’t blatantly political. This is turning out to be harder than I thought, although I don’t believe that is because Obamacare is flawless. I did find one article discussing pros and cons on [obamacarefacts.com](http://obamacarefacts.com), but that’s about it. Any ideas?

For the record, this is associated with homework (my son’s), but actually finding the articles is not part of the assignment.

Thanks,  
Rob

Are you using keywords like ‘obamacare’ in your search? if so, you are only going to get biased results.

Keywords like ‘PPACA’ ‘ACA’ ‘affordable care act’ ‘patient protection and affordable care act’ etc will result in less biased results.

The PNHP supports medicare for all, so they have some biases.

That one is from a progressive organization, but they say they are non-partisan. However that works. But they make some good points.
