My partner and I have been covering Obamacare all semester for our media project. Signups for the health care reform began on October 1 but had a rough start.  The website wasn’t ready which only gave opposers to Obamacare more reason to hate it. People can register until December 15 to be covered in 2014. The President announced that if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan and you are not forced to register for Obamacare. Obamacare survived the government shutdown but Republicans are still pushing to repeal the Affordable Care Act before the November 2014 election.
