The act provides individuals with a wider range of choices and control over their health coverage. It provides a series of benefits such as people getting lower costs on coverage, several important health benefits being covered in the Marketplace, more help in local areas, and pre-existing conditions being covered.

The Act created a Health Insurance Marketplace, a universal way to sign up for subsidized health care plans (which are cheaper), though you can only get certain plans from certain places, including an expanded Medicaid. It also creates an incentive to purchase health insurance-if you don 't, you 'll have to pay a fine, which is interpreted by many as a tax. Additionally, the Affordable Care Act requires sizable firms to provide a certain level of health care to all of their employees, with certain specifications. Obamacare also attempts to make health care cheaper for many, by trying to even out the cost for everyone.

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

Health care is the prevention, maintenance and prevention of health by treating and preventing illnesses through the services offered by medical professionals. On the other hand, health care reform is government policy that creates or changes health care delivery in a given area. Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was administered by Obama administration on March 23, 2010. The main goal of the bill is to provide affordable healthcare to Americans who do not go uninsured. The bill includes that letting children stay on their parents’ coverage until age 26, making insurance companies cover those insurance with health conditions, and insuring large businesses to provide health insurance to their employees (“Obamacare Facts”). Obama administration consider privatized healthcare as a main issue because people who are “healthy” will not buy healthcare. Therefore, the less healthy people are the main group who demand health insurance and it causing the rise in the price of health insurance. In addition, it is extremely difficult to receive health insurance for those people who have preexisting conditions, and President Obama has tried to eliminate this bill in ACA. The root in this bill has a good intention; however, the bill is flawed and it hinders the healthcare system as well as the United Stated economy.

Though he recently bowed out of the Republican presidential race, the candidate’s health care policy I chose to review is the junior United States Senator from Texas–Ted Cruz. Most of Senator Cruz’s health policies are easily accessible and posted on his presidential campaign website–tedcruz.org. Senator Cruz opposes the Affordable Care Act (which he consistently refers to as “Obamacare”) and wanted to repeal “every single word of Obamacare”; to resolve this issue, he was planning to make healthcare more “personal, portable, affordable” (“Cruz: I Will Repeal and Replace Obamacare,” 2016). After watching and reading several of Senator Cruz’s debates and interviews, I have noticed his repetitive statements on what he wants to do with health care; although, he never divulges on details of how he wants to achieve his goals or if these proposed ideas have been proven to be effective in the past. Furthermore, even right before the demise of his presidential bid, he never revealed an actual detailed health care plan. For example: How would he fund his plan? How much will it cost the public? Does it cover any pre-existing conditions? How about those who still cannot afford paying for healthcare post-Cruz-reform? In essence, his noble propositions are considerably vague and seemingly unbacked. To gain more information on his plans, I contacted the phone number listed under the campaign website’s “contact information” link, and the number directed me to his Texas office.
