Essay on Analysis of Obama's Speech About Health Care Reform

Obama realizes that a strong nation needed the good health of all people. As a result, President Obama brings the Obamacare health insurance into the marketplaces to reduce the health care costs and to get access to health insurances easier as well. Under the Obamacare, there are no people to be denied coverage for

Large populations of Americans are uninsured mainly because of the high cost of insurance. Majority of the uninsured are the low-income working families’. The adults represent a higher percentage of the uninsured than children. Before the law, you could be denied coverage or treatment because you had been sick in the past, be dropped mid-treatment for making a simple mistake on your application, hence, the Affordable Care Act was implemented into law on March 23, 2010 by President Barrack Obama to make sure that every American irrespective of their status will be insured and have full access to proper health care benefits, rights and protection(1). To understand the

Universal health care coverage is a dream that the majority of Americans have had for many decades. It seemed that the dream could become a reality with a major effort under the Clinton administration in the mid 1990’s. This effort was spearheaded by the First Lady, Hillary Clinton, and would have established a universal health care system for the entire nation. Unfortunately, after years of work, the effort ended in failure due to trying to modernize and finance universal health care at the same time (Rodwin, 2003). When the current President, Barack Obama, campaigned in 2008, one of his cornerstone promises was to develop a healthcare system that would assure affordable healthcare for all Americans through the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obama Care. With only a slight majority of democrats in the Senate and a large majority of Republicans in the House, this would prove to be an uphill battle (Moore, 2014).

Since the early days of our nation, our founding fathers thrived for change. At the peak of his election campaign, Barack Obama promised the change the country had been longing for. He promised a health care reform and new benefits. Many presidents elected after the signing of Roosevelt’s New Deal had tried to achieve health care reform but ultimately none succeeded. Obama promised change; his change came under the name of the Affordable Care Act, a bill that was filled with empty promises. The Affordable Care Act, nicknamed “Obamacare” was supposed to benefit all Americans but instead of helping our nation's citizens, it burdened them. It burdened them with higher taxes, less hours of work, and higher costs

President Barack Obama has been written into the history books for becoming the first African American president of the United States. The president plans on changing history again by bringing universal health care into the United States, which has won him much popularity among Democratic voters. His fans adore his speeches but raise many red flags for the majority of America. Major concerns Americans have with President Obama’s two proposed health-care bills are that health-care options will no longer be available along with the real cost of Obamacare, and small businesses. As many Americans believe Presidents Obama’s health-care plan is what the United States has needed for decades, considering he did get elected, his polices will prove to be a nuisance for the United States.

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Presidential Candidate Barak Obama, used national health care reform as a topic of concern during his campaign. Obama made a promise throughout his campaigning that he would ensure that all Americans will have heath care insurance. The reason for the Affordable Care Act movement was the ever increasing cost of health care and insurance premiums. Another reason supported by Young Rock Hong, a PhD student and graduate assistant at the University of Florida, “The purpose of health insurance is to facilitate sufficient access to health care, and to protect individuals as well as family members from the financial burden, especially associated with catastrophic illness” (1). Health care

An Obama ad campaign stated 47 million do not contain healthcare insurance. Obama’s plan solves this problem with a national healthcare system. He will make comparable rates as Americans in Congress. Small businesses will get tax credits to cover 50% of the cost of insuring their employees. Obama will make sure that healthcare insurance work for Americans, and small businesses, not drug companies. The national healthcare system will defiantly change the system for the better.

“The Institute of Medicine, using older studies, estimated that one American dies every 30 minutes from lack of health insurance,” remarked David Himmelstein, study co-author, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a primary care physician at Cambridge Health Alliance.

Health Care in America has recently changed by President Obama and reform and changes are heading our way. The Affordable health care act or better known as “Obama Care” is changing the way each American family access and our provided health care. America prior to the induction of this bill had about 15% of its population uninsured, and with one of the most profitable health care systems in place America leads the world in medical advances and technology. Those posses a serious problem, which is how does a country have such success in health care finically but its people remain sick? President Obama has changed that as of March 2010 by placing a Health care system that is going to change the current one to essentially benefit all

Obama stated “I suffer no illusions that this will be an easy process. It will be hard. But I also know that nearly a century after Teddy Roosevelt first called for reform, the cost of our health care has weighed down our economy and the conscience of our nation long enough. So let there be no doubt: health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year.”(SOURCE#2) President Obama has committed to passing this health-care reform to stop health care costs from rising and assuring that all Americans can receive coverage. He passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which protects health coverage for 7 million Americans who lose jobs through COBRA insurance. This Recovery Act invested $19 billion in a computerized medical record system that reduces costs and still follows HIPAA regulations protecting privacy. The Recovery Act also provides $500 million for education to train the next generations of medical employees. Obama granted $1.1 billion for medical research to assure doctors provide the best patient treatments. On February 4, 2009, the President signed the Children’s Health Insurance Reauthorization Act. This Reauthorization Act provided health care to 11 million kids, and 4 million of who were uninsured previously

Texas as a state which has the highest uninsured rate among all the states. The is a significant problem that the government should solve to ensure the health of their citizens. In 2010, president Obama signed Affordable Care Act into the law which also known as the Obamacare. After the law passed out, immediately everyone in the state has been covered by the insurance. This type of Medicaid expansion is the controversial topic among the public. Supporters and opponents both hold a different view on the issue.

Hillary Clinton believes health care is a major issue that needs to be addressed and this paper will be discuss the inflation prices on health care and prescription drugs that she feels is unnecessary and wants to slow these prices from increasing to rapidly. This will allow American families to get themselves ahead and have money sitting in their bank that they can put towards other things or enjoy so that they are not constantly chasing bills, always feeling one-step behind.

U.S. health care reform is currently one of the most heavily discussed topics in health discourse and politics. After former President Clinton’s failed attempt at health care reform in the mid-1990s, the Bush administration showed no serious efforts at achieving universal health coverage for the millions of uninsured Americans. With Barack Obama as the current U.S. President, health care reform is once again a top priority. President Obama has made a promise to “provide affordable, comprehensive, and portable health coverage for all Americans…” by the end of his first term (Barackobama.com). The heated debate between the two major political parties over health care reform revolves around how to pay for it and more importantly, whether it

Health Care has always been one of the time priorities for President Barack Obama. The economic condition of the country always presented as a hurdle for this reform to take place. (Wayne, 2011) Apart from the economic condition, the public itself was not very united on this program. The skepticism was quite prevalent due to the budget deficits and the increasing chargers that would be imposed on the employers.

Due to the upcoming presidential election, the two major political parties, and their candidates, have been focusing on the primary problems that the nation will face. Chief among those problems is the future of Medicare, the national health-insurance plan. Medicare was enacted in 1965, under the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson, in order to provide health insurance for retired citizens and the disabled (Ryan). The Medicare program covers most people aged 65 or older, as well as handicapped people who enroll in the program, and consists of two health plans: a hospital insurance plan (part A) and a medical insurance plan (part B) (Marmor 22). Before Medicare, many Americans didn't have health
