As this week comes to end, what I’ve noticed about the underclass is that they feel just a tad bit
at ease, hearing that Trump decided to keep most parts of the Obama healthcare system in place. This is
some sport of a reliever for them because as we already know there are many people that can’t afford
healthcare. I also got a chance to speak one on one with a woman of the lower class, who explained to
me the reason why she was homeless. She worked for Chubb a company that dealt with Medicare and
Medicaid. She was at this company for 16 years before they decided to relocate and lay everyone off. At
this time she had just had a set a twins and was a single parent. With no money saved and nowhere to
go she tried to turn to the
In this article called Obamacare Explained (Like you’re an Idoit), it explains the breakdown of the Affordable Care Act. Many people don’t know that Obamacare and the ACA are the same thing. “It found that 86 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 64 not only didn't have a grasp on Obamacare, they couldn't even wrap their heads around the fundamental concepts of any kind of health insurance” (Neporent). I find that piece of information interesting because that age group were the ones to vote the issue in and we should have some knowledge about the law. I understand it because I work in the medical field and I see how it affects the people that come into our clinic. It still amazes me that many people have no clue about what they have
Thanks Brenda for taking time to read our presentation and providing an input. In regards to your question on what keeps the partners motivated and recognized for their efforts, is prevent long term complications that can arise from and very common among chronic conditions. Since the Obamacare/ affordable care act (ACA), insurance companies cannot bias again those who are suffering from chronic conditions such as hypertension (“Coverage”, n.d). For instance, if the person has insurance they are more likely to go the doctors and get early diagnosis and management rather than not getting diagnosed and going to the emergency department with the end stage kidney failure and going on Hemodialysis. The later will impose greater burden on our country’s
What are the other major changes with Donald Trump’s executive plan on removing Obamacare? According to the company Motely Fool , “With a spotless cancelation taking a gander right now, Congressional Republicans may swing to a procedure known as compromise, which would enable them to annul the segments of Obamacare that effect the government spending plan. All together for a compromise bill to pass the Senate, a lion's share of 51 votes is all that would be required, and Republicans voting along partisan loyalties can achieve this aggregate. Compromise would wipe out Obamacare's endowments, and the Common Duty Installment, which would positively affect how a huge number of Americans set up their charges” (William). Another issue is that on one hand, the ACA is yet the wellbeing rule that everyone must follow, regardless of the possibility that it is by all accounts living on re-appropriated time. This implies the individual order is still law, and the individuals who pick not to buy medical coverage ought to pay the SRP, unless they're excluded. Then again, without line 61 filled in, the IRS has no certification that the citizen paid the SRP or was even safeguarded in 2016 (William). The IRS has proposed that in the event if it has a question about a specific expense form it'll catch up with those citizens after the recording procedure is over. Notwithstanding, the IRS has likewise already said that it wouldn't embellish compensation or pursue a man's property for not paying the SRP (William). Trump’s official request has made it almost unimaginable for the IRS to gather the SRP or to solidly confirm a people's medical coverage status. Trump was unsuccessful in reforming Obamacare using executive orders, but we can see how Trump’s executive orders were put into action. He commanded officials and federal government agents to start attacking Obamacare to find it’s weak
In June 2012, Time Magazine published a special reports/issue regarding Chief Justice John Roberts and Obamacare. Justice Roberts mediated and ruled over the issue of healthcare in a situation where the Supreme Court vote was deadlocked. The issue features articles describing the political and social context in which Roberts made his decisions and examines the implications of his actions for the Obama administration as well as for the citizens of the United States of America. Roberts firmly defends his positions, standing up to Republicans and Democrats alike, to the amazement of many, Roberts cedes to neither side and yet also provides satisfaction to both sides. The article refers back to the days of the New Deal when comparing the gravity of Robert's role in American healthcare in this issue. Healthcare is an issue that is important and sensitive to most Americans, particularly during the economic obstacles present and experience during the 21st century. Obamacare is an issue that insights heated debates and intense opinions from all across the political spectrum. Roberts was very much aware of all these tensions are he stepped into court. Since the ruling, various parties involved in this issue have spun the verdict into press for their own objectives. Republicans have taken the "loss" suffered in the compromise and united behind their angst. President Obama has redoubled efforts to pass more and similar kinds of
Acts never pass through Congress without opposition. Someone in Congress always opposes a bill, sometimes without sensible rationale. When a bill affects as many people as the Affordable Care Act does, it can spark heated debates and controversy on an extremely large scale. Right from the start, the country has split in two over this act. Although the ACA is often the subject of criticism and censure, it helps millions of people across the country on a daily basis.
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

For almost seventy five years the Democratic presidents tried to create a nationwide insurance system. Although many of these attempts were unsuccessful the party and its presidents still pushed on. When Democratic President Barack Obama signed the bill into law in March of 2010 he stated “the core principle that everybody should have some basic security when it comes to their healthcare”. The Act had many obstacles most notably in June of 2012 when the Supreme Court upheld most of the health care law. The bill came with a large amount of criticism mostly from the National Federation of Independent Business brought the issue of mandating individuals to have insurance or pay a penalty, as well as the expansion of the broken beyond repair Medicaid.
One thing I think is that the new president may or not make a decision on Obamacare, until the new president is in office no one knows how healthcare will change. The healthcare industry will change with every new president in office, so that can’t be predicted. However, the tort law may change totally. Everything will be dealing with technology. Everything may be done online; it’s going to be everything from technology.
Today the Obama Administration has developed a reform that will by far improve the overall condition of the US Healthcare system -- The Affordable Care Act (ACA). This legislation has groundbreaking promise to change the healthcare system, as we know it. Unlike unsuccessful past reform efforts that employed incrementalism, the ACA proposes change to address the United States healthcare system.
Body paragraph 1: One issue that's been debated throughout the 2016 election is healthcare. More specifically Obamacare and Medicare. I agree with Hillary's plan of action; to expand Medicare and uphold Obamacare. She says that “healthcare should be affordable and available in each state.” (Procon.com) Meanwhile Donald Trump’s stance on this issue is that he thinks that Obamacare is a disaster and that it should be demolished. He thinks that it's way too much money and that the lower class citizens aren't able to afford it. Another issue that's come up involving healthcare is the amount of money spent on pharmaceutical drugs. Medicine for high cholesterol is so pricey that it's being debated whether or not we should even have it. $4.6 million
After reading the reflection article, the author seems to favor the Affordable Care Act. President Obama challenges New Orleans to enroll in a health plan. He wants every local official, families, and friends to tell others about this “affordable” health care insurance. The President figures that spreading the word “by mouth” is the best resource for communities. There are places around the country that are now holding open enrollment for health insurance. According to the article, every uninsured person can afford health insurance at a low cost. In particular, the author states that in Louisiana nearly 8 in 10 people may get coverage with $50 or less a month. Also, pre-existing condition is no longer a major factor of coverage. This really
Obamacare may be one of the most debatable topics at the moment ever since 2010. For those who are still confused on what Obamacare is and how it works is understandable and common amongst Americans. Obamacare is also known as the Affordable Care Act. It can be summed up as a law that ensures every American has access to health insurance that is affordable and within their budget. This is done by offering people discounts on government-sponsored health insurance plans, and by expanding the Medicaid assistance program so they include more people who can’t afford health care. In order for someone to qualify for Obamacare they must have an insurance plan that covers at least ten essential services that pertain
Based on my own experiences and observations, regarding free speech, would be that you are only protected from the governments intervention of that free speech. Addressing my individual rights, and my observations would certainly focus on Obamacare. By all means, I do want there to be care for those unable to afford such health care, but to be penalized for wanting to opt out is concerning. I used the example of Obamacare from a personal experience shared by my sister in law. Seeking the need for a national consensus, during a war, is a difficult due to the fact that not all details can be shared in a public forum. And typically, the negative aspects of going to war is the widely available information. As symbolic interactionists tell us in
Small businesses are contrived to give all of their employees health care due to Medicare. Through the terms of ObamaCare, small businesses are compelled into closing their doors because of all the hand outs they have to get to their employees. When small business begin to become more successful and make more money, Medicare takes their profits away and gives it to people who don't really need it. ObamaCare and Medicare have both taught ignorant Americans to not get a job because they can get the same amount of money in the form of a hand out instead of actually working for it and contributing to the economy. The tax breaks for small firms and other factors are reliant by how much small businesses spend on health coverage (Harrison). Tax
