TE4 Please indicate which statement you agree with more, even if neither is exactly right

Cable companies have gotten too big and thegovernment needs to step in. Most customers have only

a single provider in their area, and are forced to buy excessive cable and internet packages in order to get

basic service.

%

Government should take a step back and stopregulating cable companies. More regulations only

mean that services will cost more for the consumer.Large cable companies give customers better prices than

they would get from small providers.

H5 Please indicate which statement you agree with more, even if neither is exactly right

e employer mandate is hurting jobs. Employers donot want to hire more than 49 employees, and they do

not want to have their employees working more than 29hours. Changing or eliminating the mandate would

increase job growth for small and medium-sizedbusinesses that are the backbone of the economy.

%

e employer mandate is increasing the number of insured Americans. If companies are not required to

pay for their employee’s health care, they will cutbenets to add to their own prots. e private sectorhad a chance to do the right thing but failed, now it istime for government to step in and protect employees

from corporate abuse.
