718 Words3 Pages

Rhetoric, the art of using written, spoken, and body language to persuade another. Often by way of hyperbole, a figure of speech which involves exaggerated statements, emotional or motivational appeal, and logic to support a claim. In politics today, the use of rhetoric has become more evident in the fight to repeal and replace Obamacare. Trump promises to Americans a better healthcare at a fraction of a cost. However, this battle for healthcare came to an obstruct halt, when House Republicans decide to pull the plug on Trumpcare.

There are many advantages to Trumpcare especially for young healthy Americans like me who cannot afford a hefty insurance premiums but, at the same, I would hate to see my retired mother lose her health care. Likewise, I love the fact that my mother can afford her health care but, hate having the government force me to buy insurance because of Obamacare. If our government decide to put aside politics, and work for the of the people, rather than their pockets, then the possible solution the blame game might
