Introduction
Obama care is an iconic change in the health sector enacted by the 111th state of the US congress to optimize cost and build an efficient system (Béland et al., 2016).
Benefits
It has encouraged job mobility and entrepreneurship. People with preexisting medical conditions often had a problem with health insurance coverage due to the unaffordable prices or refusal by the insurance companies. Obama care has banned discrimination of people with such conditions and therefore has granted access to health insurance to all. People are thus sensibly building their careers for they can retire when they want and find jobs that are best for them. The situation thus leads to an increase in overall income and productivity in the economy.
From the instant when the ACA got introduced in the United States, back then in 2010, the country has experienced a drastic fall in the health care costs. This involved reductions in excess payments to medical providers and private insurances. In addition to this, new innovative payment methods have gotten deployed. Consequently, citizens have experienced quality care. It has come in handy with premium paid reduced health insurances. Reduction in health insurance has increased the wages of workers.
Demerits
There was an increase in tax rates as individuals and self–employers got a tax credit to buy to raise revenue for the reform. The same purpose caused high costs health plans to get imposed by an excise task. This reduced income to pharmaceutical companies and some high-income families causing a reduction in the overall productivity of the economy.
Statistics have it that most of the adults who did not have health insurances remained uninsured because costs of coverage were too high. These adults did not have access to health services. It is questioning and not straight forward to how the government conducted this process. Is it reflected in helping the citizens or instead of their investment?

Recommendations
For the organization to play a part in reducing college drinking they should implement brief motivational counseling interventions, social norms interventions, individual-oriented interventions, mostly do alcohol screening and environmental policy changing such as the legal drinking-and-driving laws, and complete college–community programs. The committee should establish alcohol-free college residences and campuses, prohibit beer kegs on campus, prohibit self-service of alcohol at campus events and ban sales or marketing of alcohol on campus. The organization can use modern science to collaborate with other healthcare professionals with aim of reducing substance abuse among college students and giving alcohol education. The most targeted place to communicate with students should be via the internet since many students are influenced by internet information’s (Robert, 2002).
Limitations
Though research data on the success of the above programs is limited, surveys have shown that students living in alcohol-free residences are less likely to engage in heavy binge drinking and underage students at colleges that ban alcohol are more likely to abstain from alcohol.

Personification in “Because I could not stop Death” and “Death Be Not Proud”
Dickson and Donne each personify death as embodying contradictory qualities. Personification refers to the attribution of human features to non-human things. Poets have made poetry more creative, and this has been achieved through the use of various literary devices that make the poem more enjoyable to read. For this assignment, the primary readings include “Because I could not stop Death” by Emily Dickinson (768) and “Death Be Not Proud” by John Donne (740). The two poems use personification through which death has been personified by giving it human attributes despite being a non-human.
In the poem “Death Be Not Proud,” Donne uses personification throughout. To begin with, the title itself has personified death in that ‘Death’ is being warned of not being proud. In many cases, humans are the characters that need to be warned since they have reason. People can hear, internalize and act towards a certain direction and therefore, in case of a warning, it is only possible to lecture a person as there is a higher chance of response. Death, on the other hand, is not human, and neither does it exhibit the characteristics of a person. As a result, it is difficult to have it listen or to act according to the instructions. By Donne warning death not to be proud, he gives human attributes to it, and this leads to personification. In line 9, Donne also personifies death by stating that death should not be feared “Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men.” Through this, we learn that death is also subject to fate, just like any other mighty person in the world. Death is not powerful than any mortal, and thus it shall also suffer in the hands of fate. In the last line of the poem, death has also been personified in that the poet states, “And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.” Man has faith that death will one day die, and thus he doesn’t need to debate with it. It is also another threat to death that it shall one day die despite being a non-human. And just like any other person, death shall cease in existence. Donne uses powerful personification attributes to warn death not to be proud as its fate is sealed.
Emily Dickinson, on the other hand, uses personification in her poem, “Because I could not stop Death.” The title in itself is personified to illustrate the eagerness of death upon her. She could not resist the forces of death as though it was stronger than her. The phrase is further illustrated in line 2, “Because I could not stop death – He kindly stopped for me.” The attribute of waiting can only be given to human beings, Non-humans are immotile, and this means that they have no ability to move. By Dickinson saying that she could not stop death, it indicates that death was coming for her, an attribute of locomotion that evident only in living things and especially humans are granted. Besides, death has been personified by giving it a male attribute, and this can be seen through the continued use of the word “He” which is a masculine pronoun, and this is direct personification. In another example, Dickinson personifies death by making it act like a human in regards to manners. Humans are regarded as beings who have manners and therefore, she compares death with humans, and this can be seen in line 8, where she states, “For His Civility.” Through this, Dickinson provides the attribute of politeness and his manners when, in reality, that cannot be achieved. Politeness is a virtue for humans, and thus by giving death, a human virtue implies personification. Another example of personification can be traced in line 5, where Dickinson shows the parallel travel between her and death, “We slowly drove – He knew no haste.” In this line, death is personified to imply that it is not immortal and is subject to death. Through this, Dickinson provides two attributes to death, ‘travelling and dying.’ Humans are capable of travelling, and the same case is mortal. In this line, death is provided with both human attributes, and this makes a perception that it is human.
In conclusion, Donne and Dickinson uses personification in their poems to provide death with human attributes. Death, according to Donne, is perceived as a person since its fate is sealed just like that of human beings, and therefore it also shall die in the hands of fate since it is mortal. Besides, he warns death like it has the human attribute of listening and expects it to heed to the warnings. However, death is not like a human being and does not act out of warning and therefore, this is a mere personification. Emily Dickinson, on the other hand, has used personification by referring to death as a ‘He’ and this makes death to be perceived in a male notion. Besides, she gives death the virtue of politeness and waiting, things that are exhibited by human beings. She also states that death has the ability to travel an attribute that makes it more human. Overall, the two artists have significantly used personification to describe death by providing it with contradictory qualities that are only exhibited by humans, making the two poems more interesting to read and analyze.
