    The maker of this piece wants us to think that Obama Care is horrible because rather than help with health, they try to exaggerate some of the facts so that it is negative. They are simplifying truths and opinions and trying to make it seem that Obama care is only putting you at risk. I think that this poster is more harmful because it doesn't show statistics and is more based on opinions. In my opinion, I think that you should not criticize Obama Care without giving statistics or facts that are actually reasonable in this case.

    This form of propaganda is just like the Trump-Hitler one. It is a biased side, however more people are against it than for it, making it more effective because Obama-Care is terrible in most people's eyes.

    the propaganda clearly opposes Obamacare as all the negative "side effects" are written. The message shown is that people should not support or be a part of Obamacare. The technique used is fear, as the label reads terrible consequences of being apart of Obamacare. One of which is death. I believe it is neutral leaning towards negative as it is very bias and opinion based.

    This propaganda is trying to make people want to buy Obama care. I think the technique is activate emotions because many people don't have insurance so this is trying to get them to buy Obama care. This piece is beneficial because people need insurance to make sure they won't have to spend more money.

    This example of propaganda shows that having Obamacare leads to negative side effects. This lacks facts but activates fear in the viewer making the propaganda effective

    The person that made this piece is trying to make us think that Obama care is not a good choice to make. It is also using fear to make people turn against this product when it is really an opinion. The maker of this also made the person that is holding the bottle that says Obama care look very careless and that can also led people to a negative thought. In my opinion, I think this is harmful because it is just saying bad things about the product without showing any information.

    This piece of propaganda is opposing obamacare. It instills fear into people because of the negative side effects that were listed. However without facts or statistics to back it up i do not believe it was effective.

    I think this propaganda is somewhat beneficial, but also a tad bit extreme. People who like Obamacare would disagree and people who hate it would definitely agree. Honestly, I think this is great propaganda to spark question because people will begin to wonder that if they're on Obamacare that the same things will happen to them as what happened to the old woman in the piece of propaganda. It could spark discussion and resentment to Obamacare, which propaganda is meant to do.

    I think this propaganda could be both beneficial and harmful. It appeals to the Republican side, but not to the Democratic. Some democrats would see this as extreme since for some Obamacare is better than no healthcare at all. But it also makes them question whether Obamacare is good at all or if they should buy their own healthcare.
