Policy that is designed and implemented for the purpose of government intervention will always have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore with the context of analyzing the Affordable Care Act, there will be benefactors and opponents that will offer valid points and counterpoints.
Within the context of the opinion offered by Scott W. Atlas there are some key points worthy of serious review, while the article shares a wealth of relevant information, I will offer 5 key points related to the effects that are arising out of the implementation of both Obamacare and government intervention.
1. By the end of the decade, a full 140 million Americans will have their health care access directly controlled by the US government, a growth rate far higher
In some situations, even the bravest of people could falter and react in a cowardly way or vice versa depending on your strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes a life-or-death scenario can be that situation. In "The Most Dangerous Game", Rainsford is stranded on a island where he discovers he will be hunted for three days. The rules are simple: if he makes the three days alive, he wins, otherwise, General Zarroff, the privileged owner of the island, wins his own game. Rainsford fights harder than ever before to beat the odds and come out of Ship-Trap island unscathed and get his justified revenge. To continue, High Noon is the iconic movie about a humble sherif with a dedication to his town. He, in a sense, is being hunted as well by a
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) from being introduced in 2010 has not been well received by the public. Two main consequences are economic issues, and many states rejecting the act. Economic issues are relevant because it is assumed that insurance premiums are increased, rising cost increases during a recession, mandated benefits and other costs will be passed on to consumers and billions of dollars will be taken from seniors Medicare benefits. In addition, a requirement of the act is that insurance companies spend at least 50-80 percent of premium dollars on medical care, which will lead to less consumer choice and higher prices. Many states are choosing to reject the act
Thank you Peter for your post. I completely agree with you, Obamacare has powerfully managed to force citizens into purchasing a product sponsored by the government i.e. health insurance, by imposing a fine to anyone who has not purchased the before-mentioned product. This is agreeably the government overstepping its boundaries. Obamacare, bailing out distressed businesses, and war caused the U.S. to over-extend itself and is now trillions of dollars in debt. The authority often disputes that it is preserving industries that are too essential to the country to perish. By this they indicate if the industry collapsed the country’s economy would be in peril. As an interesting note, Hank Greenberg's filed a suit against the U.S. government for
The Affordable Care Act that is commonly known as the Obamacare can be explained as healthcare declaration that was enacted by the Federal government on 23rd March 2010. The main objective of the Act was to reform the US health systems by offering and bettering access to quality and affordable health care, health insurance, and by offering American citizens with more rights and safeguards by minimizing healthcare expenses for both the government as well as the American residents. Moreover, it can also be pointed out that the Act also aimed extending private and public insurance coverage while also regulating the insurance sector. Nevertheless, since enactment of the Act, the Act has been heaving criticized by some quarters to the extent that some political leaders in the USA have expressed their views on repealing the Act (Everett and Dawsey, 2017). Nevertheless, it can also be pointed out that there are those who strongly support the Act and give different reasons to explain the reasons why they are in support of the Act. This essay focuses on the topic of Obamacare and discusses in detail the reasons why the Act should be ammended.
Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) has serious implications in almost all the sectors of the US healthcare system. The health insurance companies are the greatest losers because of Obama Care. What they believed to be a sound policy that would help them and increase their earnings, has turned out to be a bad policy. I feel that Obama Care is battering the health insurance companies. I agree that the concerns raised by the US healthcare system are valid. It is true that the Obama care policy has not been of great benefit to their businesses. Companies have been suffering significant losses because of Obama Care. It is unfortunate that the advocates of Obama care continue to argue that the Obama care is of great benefit to the insurance companies, yet they do not have a better understanding of what the insurance business entails. While they projected that the policy was going to increase the revenue of the insurance companies due to the many subscribers, they do not consider that companies are making losses. It is very true that Obama Care is impacting healthcare providers negatively. The concerns of the US healthcare system are also supported by other insurance companies who are complaining about the same issues. The US healthcare system should take a step and refrain from taking any other policies related to Obama Care. It is not viable to continue making losses since the same will affect businesses growing concern. Obama Care was expected to support the insurance companies,
On March 23, 2010 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed by President Obama, raising the question for many of whether this new law was going to be more helpful or hurtful. With universal healthcare, healthcare coverage would be increased tremendously, costs would be reduced, jobs would be created, and consumers would be protected. Conversely, it will also raise taxes and wait times, lead to a smaller number of doctors, and infringe on some employers’ 1st amendment rights. Presenting both arguments for and against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act allows one to draw a conclusion on whether the new program will benefit or hinder the citizens of the United States.
Health care has been a controversial topic of discussion for all Americans since it was put in effect many years ago. Currently the biggest debate of Healthcare up to date is Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is a Health care Reform that is a governmental attempt to make basic health care easily obtainable. However, there are no benefits without cost in situations like this, and upon that are different viewpoints on the subject thus creating political debates discussing if it is ethically correct. The overall goal that Obamacare hopes to accomplish is that through specific changes through insurance companies, industry standards, and patient guarantees a healthier America will be produced. Obamacare has its ups and downs for both the generally agreeing democratic viewpoints and the opposing republican side. Both viewpoints have their own beliefs about how Health care works and Obamacare is somewhat in between on this. Most arguments on Obamacare deal with Medicaid being constitutional and if Obamacare truly reduces the total cost of health care for individuals and in the government.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is considered to be one of the most radical health care moves in legislation after Medicare. The reason being that it will provide universal health coverage to everyone regardless of circumstance. An evaluation of ACA’s influence on health care will be evaluated in this paper.
On March 23, 2010, the Affordable care act also known as “obamacare” was signed into law by president Barrack Obama. Only gay marriage legislations and gun laws have elicited more public response than the affordable care act. Both opponents and proponents have presented constructive arguments of the perceived failures and strengths of the act. Owing to the intense debate surrounding the act, very few people understand that the act only came into full implementation in 2014. The raving reviews and critiques of the debate have bordered on myths and perception influenced by political alignments. Pertinent questions have been asked about the affordable care act. There have been conflicting accounts on the role of the affordable care act in regulating the health insurance industry. Concerns have been raised on why patients are paying higher out of pocket expenses yet the affordable care act was meant to introduce checks and balance in healthcare provisions. This paper therefore seeks to deeply explore the affordable care act by researching on these questions. The paper will also demonstrate perspectives on the good and the bad that comes from the affordable care act. Lastly, the paper will analyze healthcare situation in New York City with statistics showing that healthcare services are becoming more expensive in the city even after the full implementation of the affordable care act.
While the Obamacare act has both pros and cons, people are likely to support it or disagree to it on account of the perspective that they see things from. In spite of the fact that the act involves a series of benefits, it is difficult and almost impossible for one to ignore the fact that it is likely to cause a significant shortage of healthcare professionals and that it is also probable to cause an increase in drug prices.
The implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), popularly known as “Obamacare”, has drastically altered healthcare in America. The goal of this act was to give Americans access to affordable, high quality insurance while simultaneously decreasing overall healthcare spending. The ACA had intended to maximize health care coverage throughout the United States, but this lofty ambition resulted in staggeringly huge financial and human costs.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been a topic of dispute since its introduction and continues to be discussed by politicians in the U.S. and throughout the world even after its passage. The Act has many opponents and is the cause of much controversy nationwide, primarily because it introduces higher healthcare costs for the richest citizens. Nevertheless, the ACA is an important stage in the American healthcare development process as it not only allows more people to receive healthcare services, but will also reduce the deficit. However, not everyone agrees. The policy is controversial in terms of cost vs. benefits, but the benefits ultimately outweigh the costs.
There is an ongoing debate regarding the potency of the new health care reform—Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act—from the outset of its proposal. Many attempts had been presented in the past years but the root of the issue remains prevalent today, that there is a lack of quality in its delivery and the cost of care is continuously increasing beyond national economic edges. In this manuscript, we will discuss several factors that can positively sway the long-term significance, impact, and structure of the United States health care system. Many are wondering whether the Universal Coverage, to which will give more control and
Vincent Van Gogh famously stated,“If you hear a voice in you say ‘you cannot paint’, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”One would never engage in an activity in which you have no skill. To achieve this skill you must engage in this activity frequently and learn from one’s errors. The only thing that will detain you from achieving this is doubt and fear. Vincent Van Gogh had perseverance and did not cease his love for painting. He is a famous figure in art history hence he had a thrilling and intriguing life and stood out from most painters from his time. Vincent had many struggles in life mentally, emotionally, and physically. But he assimilated from these and carried on with his life, which was mostly traveling,
