Essay On Obamacare

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.

The latest health care reform has done what few policies manage to do – sicken both republicans and progressive democrats. While we can all agree that a reform of the health care system is sorely needed, we must also acknowledge that “Obamacare” is not the cure-all we so desperately require. Rather, President Obama, like a medieval barber, prescribed a health care reform that treated the symptoms of our flawed system rather than the actual disease. The subsidization of health insurance providers has proven ineffective at providing affordable coverage for all. Certainly one is likely to hear the various incendiary talking points of both the proponents and opponents. Whether it’s the republican candidates blaspheming Obamacare as socialism, or the administration praising the success of health care for all, it is difficult to actually find constructive dialogue. We are purview to many sound bites, but few actual solutions. We have witnessed heated debates, but rarely do we witness intelligent discourse. If beneficial reform is to be crafted and implemented, we must first acknowledge the issues and inconsistencies of the current system and begin to explore alternate methods of providing health care to the American people.

The debate over whether or not universal health care is an achievable reality in the United States has been a longstanding one. Most of us have heard people from both sides of the political spectrum duke out the logistics of the Affordable Care Act, but what’s really the deal? Despite us being the only major country on earth that doesn’t guarantee health care, there are still a lot of conservatives and insurance companies who argue that universal care is an unnecessary burden on taxpayers. Why exactly are Republicans in such vehement opposition? Let’s find out:

The Obama Administration as well as the media began to challenge these attacks, often when presented the facts lawmakers would retreat from the attack, however once in the political lexicon, the attack no matter how erroneous or false would continue to be repeated. This allowed Republicans to win a narrow victory in 2016 bringing Donald Trump to the Presidency. Trump a political outsider campaigned on many controversial items, from border control, to health care and all the while insisting that he could do the same thing with less complications. After winning the election Trump began pushing his agenda by offering a 33-page bill known American Health care Act was designed to repeal and replace the Patients Protection and Affordable Care Act.

With the recent elections results leading to a republican majority in the house of congress and pending results that point to a republican majority also leading the senate, many wonder the faith of the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare as it is known by many. The federal statue which was signed in 2010 by President Barack Obama to create the law has received a great deal of criticism since its inception. This criticism is clearly seen with the many attempts at repealing, revamping, or the tweaks the law has undergone which add up to approximately 54 since the law has passed. With many developed and developing countries possessing a universal health care system for many years prior to the creation of the

On February 3rd, 2015 three republicans voted against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, going against the Republican Party’s policy of repealing the

Since the beginning of his presidential campaign and now, as the President of the United States, one of Donald Trump’s leading issues has been health care reforms. Contrary to former President, Barack Obama’s vision, President Trump is against the sanctions put into place by the Affordable Care Act. Hence, while rallying for support throughout the country from voters, he made it known that if elected, he would abolish Obamacare. Now, 100 days into his presidency, this is still one of the many hot debatable issues on the table. While there has been no clear decisive plan implement or decided upon to replace the ACA, there has been a proposal by two republican senators that could serve as an alternate. The Patient Care Act, also known

Their views on the requirement for the United States citizens to purchase health insurance was an attack on the Constitution. Saying that it will “destroy the country” and believe that Obama Care will “damage the economy by forcing businesses to spend more money on health care costs” (USA TODAY). Republicans are concern that Obamacare will reduce the economic efficiency of the United States by raising up taxes and putting the financial burden on companies, making them spend more money and time dealing with the cost of employees’ health care. Not all States expanded on Medicaid and those who have chosen not to expand left 5.7 million people in our nation's’ poorest people without coverage options. Republicans felt so strongly about their views that not a single Republican voted for the final version that Obama signed into

After one of the most grueling presidential races in American history, the populous candidate Donald Trump has been elected by the American people as our next president. While campaigning, one of the first things that Trump vowed to accomplish in office was to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (donaldjtrump.com). Trump should have no trouble doing this with the support of both the Republican senate and the Republican House. The consequences of what exactly will be done is a constantly argued topic and the phrase “repeal and replace Obamacare” has become a sort of buzzword in the media.

Trump claims that he would let Obama care implode on its own, however, measures that he can easily and probably will inflict suggest otherwise, such as ending subsidies coming from Washington, causing premiums to rise and healthy people dropping out, leaving only the sick, causing the premiums to increase even more. The purpose of the Board’s article is to make the reader see the obvious sabotage that will occur to kill Obamacare, hoping that with this information, they will go out and be wary of the president’s actions. Due to the serious and hard to grasp subject matter, the writer keeps a grim, formal tone and attempts to simplify the situation so that the audience of citizens concerned and confused over the healthcare debate can understand what occuring is

The last seven plus years under a Barrack Obama presidency, the GOP and elected Republican officials have stood by and allowed the continued downfall of America and the American way of life. They stood by and did nothing. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obama Care, was passed which forced Americans to purchase health insurance or they

Democrats can learn from similar historic paradigms and use the republicans’ failure to pass their health care proposal against them. The Seniors affected by the GOP Health Care Plan can be a critical voting bloc in 2018 midterm elections, forming 20% of the midterm voters. According to the Exit poll, elderly voters (Over 65) supported Trump in 2016’s elections over Hillary nationally by (7-8%). Therefore, Democrats have to convey direct messages to senior voters nationally especially in contested states with republican like Nevada, Florida, Maine and Arizona with a substantial percentage of elderly voters. Undoubtedly, the Republican’s failure in approving their Health Care Plan came at high cost, Tim Malloy the assistant director of Quinnipiac university poll: "Replacing Obamacare will come with a price for elected representatives who vote to scrap it, say many Americans, who clearly feel their health is in peril under the Republican

And it’s been well received, and praised, as serious alternative legislation; but elected representatives don’t propose things in a vacuum, elected representatives propose things that their constituents ask to be proposed. The American people continue to be extremely upset about Obamacare. There’s an article today - it may have been New York Times, may have been Wall Street Journal or Washington Post, but you could easily Google and find it - in which they speak about how the penalties for not having policy are about to be instituted, and if a person does not purchase a policy under the individual mandate, they’re about to be fined $900 per year. The article points out it’s extremely unpopular. Now, the American people want that portion of Obamacare repealed. The Cadillac Tax has been in the news; unions bargained in the past to have more generous healthcare benefits, and in their bargaining they gave up income in exchange for richer insurance policies. Obamacare taxes those middle class workers who give up income to have more generous insurance benefits. Obamacare taxes them with the so called ‘Cadillac Tax.’ Now, those workers want that portion of Obamacare repealed. So when these bills come up, to do this or that about Obamacare, it is a response to the American people’s anger about how the law in being implemented. Now, another part of your question, implicitly, was should Republicans have

Well this week was very interesting for The Republicans and everyone who voted for Donald Trump. When Donald Trump became president one of the things we the people knew that Obama-care would change and he claims it would be so much better. For a minute I really thought it would happen, but people were scared of not being able to have affordable Insurance for all.

Health Care Reform is a nothing new to Americans. Americans have been fighting this battle for a long time. We have reached the point where we must a change. We must change something at this point it almost doesn’t matter what we do as long as it’s something different than we have.
