With elections taking place in a few weeks, President Obama and candidate Mitt Romney have to get as much people on their side as possibly. One way that President Obama is achieving this goal is by reaching out to all of the age, race, and status groups. His biggest goal is to get the majority of Americans to have health care, (Barnes, 2012). After trying to get the health care law passed for two years, this summer Obama was successful. With this law more than 30 million Americans will have a health care plan that will help their families in every medical way one can think of. This law includes an exchange which is a plan that families can have that is private that gives them the opportunity to choose what plan fits them best. This law will also help the disabled and poor more than ever by giving them health insurance as well.

This is a great law that will help many Americans, especially the low income families because they will be able to choose a plan that best suits them. They will have the chance to go to frequent doctor visits and by the money that goes towards taxes it will be affordable to them too. “A victory for people all over this country whose lives will be more secure.” is the goal Obama has for Americans. People can tell that Obama is a President that cares for the good of the people and has proved in many ways that he will try everything in his power to help all Americans not just the high class but he includes the working class. This relates to international affairs because health care involves many people that need help from the government.
