Banksy


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BanksyWho is Banksy? Banksy, believed to have been born in England, is a street artist whose identity remains unknown. Banksy began his career in the early 1990s as a graffiti artist. He did a lot of freehand art and then later turned to stenciling. Banksy is better known for his controversial and politically themed pieces of art work. His work is mainly based on slogans with messages about anti-war, anti-capitalist, as well as anti-establishment. Banksy's work of art was always criticizing to some but very different to others. Banksy has several books that show different pictures of his artwork.

Banksy tends to keep his identity unknown but his art is very widely known, with no one even knowing his real name. He tends to keep his identity anonymous because of the artwork that is seen as vandalism, and many thinks that he should be prosecuted for such work. Many people think that his artwork sets negativity for others in the graffiti business. Even though he tends to remain anonymous, his artwork is not anonymous and continues to keep him on the rise. Banksy will always be known as a graffiti artist in the eyes of critics, because that is mostly the type of work which led to his fame. His artwork does give off negativity in some sort, but obviously it isn't too negative because his art has drove him to a lot of fame over the years.

Obamacare

What are your thoughts on Obamacare? ObamaCare, which was previously named the Affordable Care Act is a new healthcare reform law, which was designed to make sure that everyone in the United States has some form of healthcare. Its goal is to provide Americans with affordable health care insurance and also to curb the growth of healthcare spending in the United States. This law will have new benefits, rights, and protection for any Americans, who have experiences issues before with healthcare...Costs are to be reduced, less turn downs and mainly affordable for everyone. This means that those that do not have healthcare insurance because they could not afford it should now be able to afford these services under specific healthcare plans. It is designed to provide stability and flexibility when it comes to your own health.

On the other hand, this law has raised a lot of concerns. This is a mandatory law which means that a penalty will take effect for those who have not signed up by the deadline. A lot of people do not have healthcare coverage because they were not able to afford it. Some have been turned down for Medicaid or Medicare because of the types of jobs they had in the past. What makes one think that this will be affordable now with the way the economy is going. This to me is just another way for the government to come up. One good thing out of this new law is that Obama cares about the health and wellness of others, but it still seems all about money, because a lot of people may be paying these monthly premiums, but may never see the doctor that much and in that case, it seems that the consumer is still losing.
