Analysis Of Repealing The Affordable Care Act

The beginning of the article started off very strong with the Republican views on how replacing theAffordable Care Act/ Obamacare seems to be beneficial because Americans believe that the government needs to provide healthcare for all which is “Medicare for all.” Throughout government; the left and right sides do not see eye to eye but in this discussion, they both seem to acknowledge the likelihood of this new system.

Donald Trump wants to lower taxes which is great, but there are many setbacks to this. If he does lower taxes it will be harder for the government to have

Since June 6, 2009, President Barack Obama told the American public multiple times, “If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan.” The public later found out that this was not the case. If your health care plan did not satisfy the minimum federal requirements then you will lose your plan and will have to find another one. House republicans have tried to repeal the bill almost 40 times because they claim it is a major threat to the economic health of the nation. Despite all of the political rhetoric about Obamacare over the past few years, most Americans do not know what it is and how it affects them. While Obamacare does attempt to fix some issues in our healthcare system, it still has not completely fixed the problems at hand. It is an unjust fix and it is far from complete.

The Kaiser Foundation’s studies indicate that, despite a forty-seven percent majority that has an unfavorable opinion of the bill, they want to reform it, not repeal it (Cohn par. 1). America’s population dislikes the ACA, but they generally agree that this country needs an affordable healthcare system. All the politicians who advocate for repealing the law do not represent the general public. Statistics from Olga Khazan show that seventy-four percent of Republicans want the ACA majorly reformed, not repealed (par. 2). That many Republicans want the ACA drastically changed rather than eliminated which means they want a better system. Unfortunately, many Republican politicians do not share these ideas. Achieving a good healthcare system could happen more quickly once everyone works together instead of against each

Since June 6, 2009, President Barack Obama has told the American public numerous times, “If you like your health care plan, you 'll be able to keep your health care plan.” The public later found out that this was not the case. If your health care plan did not satisfy the minimum federal requirements, then you will disinherit your plan and, you must find another one. House republicans have tried to repeal the bill almost 40 times because they claim it is a major threat to the economic health of the nation. Despite all of the political rhetoric about Obamacare over the past few years, a majority of Americans do not know what it is and how it affects them.

A secondary source, Wikipedia was utilized to conduct this research because it provides a recompilation of various primary sources through footnotes depicting ways that the government proposes to repeal and replace the Obamacare. The article “Obamacare repeal resolution: Senate Takes Major Step toward Repealing Health Care Law” is a reliable source because it demonstrates that the Republicans have

This mandate can be considered similar to the car insurance requirement – every state except New Hampshire has enacted mandatory car insurance liability laws that requires all motorized vehicles must be insured, guaranteeing that the owner can pay for damage in the event of an accident. Requiring most Americans to purchase health insurance would keep premiums low, according to most health economists . Economists further say that the mandate “encourages people who are unlikely to buy coverage – mostly healthy people who think premiums are a waste of money – to sign up .” There are exemptions to the provision and a penalty for not obtaining coverage, which is soon expected to increase to $695 or 2.5% of income in 2016. We must keep the individual mandate in Hillarycare as it ensures that the majority of Americans have acceptable health care

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, and many other congressional leaders understand fully the cost of throwing those newly insured under the bus, it is not a popular position to fall under. In order to have a bit of approval from the majority of people, President Trump has emphasized that he would keep two popular features of Obamacare, and that is allowing children to stay under their parent’s insurance up to age 26, and to offer insurance to those with pre-existing conditions without higher premiums. The GOP only want the “good” without maintaining what keeps programs like Medicaid to run, and that is the growth of the government to provide the finances.

In 2008, Obama accomplished the goal of healthcare reform by signing the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA aims to control healthcare costs and give Americans accessibility to health insurance. One method to accomplish this is Title IX, Sec 9001 of the ACA, known officially as “Excise tax on high cost employer-sponsored health coverage”, which implements a tax on overly generous health plans. This part of the ACA remains one of many issues that has drawn ire from both Democrats and Republicans. The intent of this excise tax, nicknamed the “Cadillac tax”, is to target generous health plans that increase overall healthcare costs. While implementing this tax would raise revenue to subsidize other parts of the ACA and keep healthcare costs

“20 million people have gained coverage under Obamacare” (Obamacare Facts, 3) although there are over 300 million people in the United States of America as of 2014. The cost of Obamacare is a “$1.1 trillion dollar fee… considered a shared responsibility and such mandate that every nonexempt American citizen pays for Obamacare through taxes” (Obamacare Facts, 3). This means that a shared fee increases each year after 2014. This cost enlarges Medicaid to 38% of the federal poverty, administering this insurance to adults without children for the first time. Adults can add their children to age 26 but lifetime and annual limits on insurance are

With the facts and survey results checked, it would be unethical, to market as a positive life changing event. With any law, both parties are going to disagree. It is both parties responsibility to compromise for the best plan that would represent the American people, with overall cost efficiency. If Obama Care was put in place with any misgivings or misrepresentations to the American people, the repercussions will eventually come around to face fate of those involved. The families and the individuals earn an income to pay for the services such as health care and taxes. If the Healthcare Act is going to affect jobs and taxes and shift to the company because it drives up the price of healthcare, at what point how long will the deficit take a hit before it bust? The falsehoods include the following, when the results for young adults stated they were able to obtain insurance it was because they were added their parents plan up to the age of 26. The source for the 6 million young adults that were added came from a survey conducted by a nonprofit commonwealth Fund report that was issued June 8 2012. The report stated that 6.6 million would not be able to do so prior to the affordable Act when put into place. (Romney) A safer ground statement should have said “potentially helped 54 million, instead of 3.1 million. According to the last Census completed 54 million received expanded preventative coverage. It has yet to be confirmed if the 54 million were able to take advantage of the changes according the healthcare act.(Romney) The numbers were distorted with the example that Medicare would be cut by 500.00 billion and would add to the deficit by 10 times and would span over 10 years. The law is considered a “job killer”(Romney) because the companies receiving the subsidies would work less hours so they would be paying less for the healthcare and medical services

The debates on tax cuts are making their way to headlines of every radio station, newspaper, and television station in America. Today, tax cuts would only benefit the wealthy and wouldn’t really benefit the lower class. “The administration and it’s congressional alleys are proposing to sharply reduce taxation of the business income primarily benefiting

On December 1st, 2017 the Senate passed the most sweeping tax rewrite in decades. Republicans were lining up to approve the bill that will cover almost every corner of the United States economy, affecting families, small business owners and multinational corporations, with the biggest benefits flowing to the highest-earning Americans. Parts of these bills include the Child Tax Credit, the 529 Plan, Blocking Arctic Drilling, and Remove Endowment Tax Exemption.

This may sound like a tax plan that will relieve the financial burden on lower-income taxpayers, directly benefiting the poor, but in actuality, cutting taxes for all in a regressive manner gives substantially more money to the wealthiest taxpayers and a very small amount to lower income taxpayers. According to his plan, a typical American family of four will be able to keep at least $1, 600 more of

Healthcare has emerged as a primary topic of debate recently given the rhetoric of president Trump on “repealing and replacing” our current system. His ideal replacement, which he failed to pass through the senate, has a favorability rating of 16% according to Mark Murray of NBC news (4). The GOP health care bill is projected by many healthcare experts, including Noam M. Levey of the LA times, who implies that this bill will lead to a spike in the number of uninsured Americans; this proposition also includes tax cuts, along with progressive cuts (over time) to medicaid spending from the house and senate
