To be truthful, Obamas general motive behind the plan is not a bad one. He wanted to assist those who could not afford Obamacare and lower the prices and find a safe way to make it available to everyone. Obama did not consider quite a few variables in the planning phase of this project. For one, While Obama is all for studying which medical procedures are worthwhile for patients; he does not think to include doctors in these government conversations. He is not completely gripping onto the fact the government and the medical industry probably wants the same thing when it comes to health care: to lower the price. Leaving these two groups separate on this project, with him as the man-in-between was a terrible mistake because there is bound to be disagreement. Evidently it is difficult for him to grasp how this is a medical plan. “Being wrong is not the same as lying. Obama knew the funny numbers his administration was putting out. And he looked the American people in the eye and lied to them (Klein). Obama recently designated 140 billion dollars to health care, but we already are vastly in debt it is not even funny (Obama Designates $140 Billion to Health Care). The cost of health insurance for Many Americans climbed more sharply during Obamas presidentry than in previous years, showing Obama Care is actually making health care less affordable” (Limbaugh). As previously mentioned, throughout the entire process of Obamacare, from the beginning until now, there have been two
President Obama wanted to start a plan that made health care available for everyone, which later on created Obamacare. Obamacare is also known as the Affordable Care Act (para 1 and 2). With Obamacare being created everyone is supposed to have healthcare with no exception, Obama made healthcare more affordable for people who can not afford any other health insurance. With Obamacare, everyone will be eligible even those with pre-existing conditions. For the ones who are not fortunate enough and can not afford to pay the plan chosen then assistance will be provided for them. When people are not able to pay for health insurance they are put at the stage of choosing if they want to feel better and buy the medicine or stay sick in order for them to provide what they need to provide for their families at home. Providing the country with Universal Healthcare benefits many people including the government will benefit from this because everyone will be paying to receive coverage at a low cost and they will finally receive the medical attention they have been looking for (para 8). Having healthcare should be considered something we are supposed to be provided with but of course with a certain charge. A reasonable charge that
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.
Before getting into whether it was wrong or right let us start with the history of our health care system. The thought or beginning of a health care plan began in 1935 when Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to add a health insurance program to the social security plan. However, the court had ruled it out, and nearly declined the approval of the beginning of our social security as well. The first official beginning, or origin, of a health care plan was implemented in 1965 by Lyndon B. Johnson. He signed into law the bill that led to be our Medicare and Medicaid systems. The original Medicare program included Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) (Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services 2015). After years of studying the laws and works of the original plan. Obama came up with his own version of a healthcare system known as the Affordable Care
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.
Questions are constantly circulating around the new Affordable Care Act. Many do not know what it does and the government is trying to make it out to be a big savior to the medical field for doctors and patients alike. The Affordable Care Act has also been given the name Obamacare because of its ties to the President. He believes that increasing the amount of people on insurances of any kind that meets his “standards” will help health care become more available and more profitable. Unfortunately, these claims are not true as Obamacare is clearly going to negatively impact health care in all aspects. The problems start for patients who get on government healthcare programs, such as Medicaid, with the fact that the treatment plans are extremely
On March 23, 2010 President Barack Obama introduced a new healthcare system because various Congress representatives and Obama believed our country needed a change. This new healthcare system was called the Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as Obamacare. It is now 2016, and it is time for more changes. With a new president coming into office, Donald Trump, we can expect changes to Obamacare or an entirely new healthcare system altogether. Obamacare is costing Americans more than it was intended to (Galen Institute). This essay will explain why Obamacare needs to be improved and how to improve this healthcare system. Obamacare has two types of supporters. The first type of supporters believe there is nothing that can be done to make this healthcare system better, while the second type think there should be changes to reinforce this health care system. Opponents believe Obamacare needs to be changed or ended altogether because they claim it is not helping the American citizens. Going forward, Trump should make changes to Obamacare in order to make it stronger instead of scrapping it altogether.
The Obama Care bill also Known as the patient protect and Affordable Care Act was established on March 21, 2010. The Affordable healthcare Act also known as Obama Care has helped over a billion people gain access to health. In 2010 it shows that 50 million people in America did not have insurance, it also shows that 48.6 million people had decreased, and then it increased in 2012. In 2010, before the Healthcare Act was signed Obama noticed some of the small issues that were going on in healthcare systems. Obama seen that some of the insurance Companies had some unjustified rates for their healthcare plan. He observed how some of the prices for healthcare were controlled by hospitals and private doctors. The way that the healthcare system used to work was that the people that could afford the healthcare plans were able to get them. The People that were unable to get healthcare insurance like through their job or a private practice had to rely on getting Medicaid and Medicare was only for disable people or elderly people. The Affordable healthcare Act was placed to help people throughout the U.S. receive insurance even if they don’t qualify with their employer or private healthcare insurance. What many people do not know is that the new affordable care act offers many great benefits. Such as great benefits for women’s health, Birth control, people with preexisting conditions have great benefits, etc. Having this Affordable Act care will bring great benefits to our future and

Their several changes that are being made to the Obamacare. This is a very big topic within the United States. One of the things that are set in place is for the price to increase for Obamacare. This is because of a lot of low income-families unexpectedly enrolled in public health care coverage rather than private insurance according to new government reports show. According to recent reports that have been done it shows that the number of low and middle-income people has dropped that is covered with
The Obama Care is going through many changes that will impact the American nation. There are many different points of view from the political parties. Not having the same view of the whole matter of the situation makes it difficult to know what the expectations are. Instead of viewing from a different perspective and thinking how the population is going to benefits, these people that are in power are not thinking of what is best for the nation ,especially for the elderly, children and people in poverty which will be affected adversely by these changes.
First, he points out that Obamacare rates are going way up. He states that according to the latest estimate from the federal government, the average midlevel Obamacare plan will cost at least twenty two percent more in 2017 than it did in 2016. This is the most popular plan bought across the country, and as such it will affect a variety of people and households. He does point out that this rate varies depending on where you live throughout the country, since rates have increased a whopping one hundred and forty five percent in Phoenix while customers in Providence Rhode Island have seen a mere increase of fourteen percent.
Obamacare has drastically raised health care costs for individuals and families. One of the reasons Obamacare was established was to reduce family premiums by $2,500 a year (Anderson 1). However, this goal has not been accomplished yet, the typical family premiums are increasing at rapid rates (Anderson 2). From 2015-2016, Family Silver, one of the most popular family insurance plans, had a ten percent increase on their premiums price. Some states even rose by forty percent (Furchtgott-Roth 3). Middle class families cannot keep paying an arm and a leg for health insurance. Health insurance should not be a major issue for Americans, it should be
Our new elect- President Donald Trump has many goals he desires to accomplish within his four-year term, and one of which is improving health care. Former President, Barack Obama created Obamacare for people to use as a more effective and affordable health insurance. Many Democrats are protesting for their right to keep this Affordable Care Act; however, President Donald Trump is in the process of replacing this health insurance. One huge supporter of the Affordable Care Act is Hillary Clinton; former opponent of President Trump. Hillary Clinton’s plans for health care included to defend and expand the Affordable Care Act, bring down out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles, reduce the cost of prescription drugs, protect consumers from unjustified prescription drug price increases from companies, and fight for health insurance for the lowest-income Americans (“Hillary on Health Care” 1). Most of Clinton’s goals were already in involved with Obamacare, and she aspired to push Obamacare to its’ fullest advantage by helping it become enhanced and
Since the early days of our nation, our founding fathers wanted change. At the peak of his campaign, Barack Obama promised the change the country had been longing for. He promised health care reform and new benefits, something that had been tried to achieve by numerous presidents after the signing of the New Deal by President Roosevelt. Obama promised change but not the type he wanted. 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 but instead of helping our nation's citizens, it burdened them. It burdened them with higher taxes, less hours of work, and higher costs for “affordable”
“ObamaCare contains many benefits, especially for low and middle income families and business” (“ObamaCare: Pros and Cons”). Many people have been having concerns on the cost of the insurance because it has raised in cost. There is a new law out there that President Barack Obama passed called ObamaCare. ObamaCare is also known to be The Affordable Care Act (ACA). The goal of this act was to make sure every American had health insurance by January 2014. ObamaCare went from being something good, to a controversial issue towards Americans. This topic is very debatable in positive and negative ways, it just all depends on how it effects someone. One of ObamaCare’s requirements were to have companies provide health insurance to people
