The three most important points in my article were: Obamacare was meant to be affordable healthcare for everyone, subsidies were given to people near the poverty line, and the provisions of the original Obamacare. The affordability isn't necessarily cheap for everyone. Only the people who had been denied insurance or didn't receive insurance from their employers got the sure benefit. The subsidies given to the people near the poverty line was unfair to those that were just above poverty but we're still struggling with their health insurance coverage. The provisions of the original Affordable Care Act let people have an extension to their health plan deadlines. The affordability was really important to me because that is the whole point of
Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act, implemented by President Barack Obama is the one of the major healthcare reform in America after Medicare’s implementation. Also it is one of the most debatable issues in the present times. Many are doubtful about its long term effects while many more are happy that they would finally be insured. It is of no doubt that the Obama Administration has brought in ACA with a very noble and optimistic intention of providing insurance and healthcare coverage to each and every citizen of America. However from a public administrative point of view it is essential to think about both the potential benefits and harms of this act on the healthcare economy. The reviewed articles discuss about why and how the ACA was implemented, how the architects are ACA are expecting it to benefit the society and what would be the effects of its implementation. The articles from healthcare journals discuss about the effects of ACA on the quality of healthcare.
The Kaiser Health Tracking Poll Approaches the polling process with a representative nature that does its best to promote the affordable Health Care Act. It seems to attempt a focus on the lack of knowledge that people have about the affordable healthcare act. Examples of this include the March 31st deadline “As the clock ticks down on open enrollment for new coverage options under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the latest Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds that six in ten of the uninsured are unaware of the March 31 deadline to sign up for coverage. When reminded of the deadline and the fine for not getting covered, half of those who lack coverage as of mid-March say they plan to remain uninsured”(Kaiser Poll).
The World’s Columbian Exposition, more commonly known today as the Chicago World’s Fair, brought forth numerous innovations people use commonly today: Juicy Fruit chewing gum, Shredded Wheat, the Pledge of Allegiance, the Ferris Wheel, books printed in Braille, automatic dishwashers, even Aunt Jemima pancake mix. In The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America, Erik Larson presents these brilliant inventions with a flourish that makes the reader feel as though he is there, experiencing the magic in person. However, despite the spellbinding descriptions and otherworldly air, the author explores a more macabre side to the story. The reader can never get too comfortable in the mystique of the Fair because lying at the end of each chapter about beauty, Larson reconstructs the White City in a different light. In the novel, Erik Larson uses diction and pathos to disquiet the reader while telling the chilling story of H.H. Holmes, what he did, and how he got away with it for so long.
I recently experienced working with a family case manager that would continuously engage in one-way communication with me and the rest of the team working on a particular case. The client had several mental health issues that were not being addressed which caused her to be an extremely difficult client to work with, especially in the beginning. It was not unusual for her to verbally abuse individuals on the team including the family case manager. A large part of these behaviors stemmed from the client’s lack of ability to accept accountability as her children were removed because of domestic violence. As I worked with the client after approximately four months I was able to build rapport with her that others were not able to. I conducted her
Imagine if you were a doctor, owned your own practice, and your clientele were of a satisfying quantity due to the personal relationships that you shared with every one of them. What would you do if that quality of business was taken right out from under your feet due to the change in law? That is what Dr. Joel L. Strom talks about in “The Right Way to Repeal and Replace Obamacare,” as he explains what Obamacare has done to the health-care system in America, and what Republicans need to do to fix it through his eyes. When the Obamacare bill passed in 2010 and began in 2014, it was something that grew from what was originally rejected during the Clinton Administration in the mid to late 90’s. When the bill passed, it wasn’t due to Republican voters, but solely Democratic. Strom shows compassion towards the needs of his fellow Americans and concerns of his medical colleagues, but he is also a Republican which may show a little bias.
The Affordable Care Act, signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010, fails to reach the intended goal of being more affordable for those in the population who cannot afford health insurance. The Affordable Care Act affects taxes, the out of pocket spending as well as the national debt. Now, considering the word “affordable” is in the name of the act itself, it is very contradicting that the Affordable Care Act is not very “affordable”. Affordable has a very different meaning if you were to ask people across the nation. People in Montana for example, the average salary in the state of Montana is $37,575, while in the state of New York, the average salary is $52,330. People in Montana would see $25,000 a lot differently than people
I’m sure you have heard many debates, discussions, and opinions about the law ObamaCare. Do you know what this law was implemented for? Do you know why some could support it or want it repealed? Do you realize how much money one could leave the taxpayers to pay for their unpaid medical bills because they could not afford insurance? “ObamaCare, officially called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) but more often called the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for short, reforms the health insurance industry and the American health care system as a whole” (ObamaCare Facts). Barack Obama and the Supreme Court ruling in 2012 gave Americans better rights and more protection for access to universal affordable quality healthcare to the uninsured population. ObamaCare was not designed to change the way one gets insurance, but to alleviate the national health care crisis of forty-four million uninsured Americans. I chose to do my research paper over this particular topic because I wanted to learn more information on how the working middle class could obtain insurance for them and/or their families. I also wanted to know how people who are uninsured could have access to ObamaCare and what ObamaCare actually does for the uninsured.
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
I totally agree with you on the premise that the main goal of the obamacare act was extremely noble. The health care act was premedemontly designed in order to reach and make health care accessible to all the American citizens. I believe that the main components of the law are well structured and inclusive into every single segment of society.I disagree with you on the premise that poor people have more difficulties while trying to obtain health insurance. Obamacare has expanded the reach of Medicaid
President Obama did his best to lower the price of health insurance for the average American, but as time goes on and the full effects of the Affordable Care Act are felt it’s difficult to tell if his vision has been successful. Now more commonly known as “Obamacare”, this legislation was introduced in the House as the “Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009”, where it passed in September. The bill made its way to the senate, where it was discussed and amended near the first half of the year 2010. TimeINC.com reports neither the house nor the senate had a majority vote either way on the matter, but both votes were extremely close and difficult to predict. In the end, President Obama took matters into his own hands and signed the
President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act on March 23, 2010. This law puts in place widespread health insurance reforms that expanded out over the last 4 years and continues to change the lives of many Americans today. Health care reform has been an extensively debated topic for multiple years, and the ACA is the first effective attempt at passing a law aiming to make health care not only affordable, but accessible for all individuals. The law impacts many Americans including, children, employers, government programs which includes federal and state, health plans and private insurers, health care coverage, health care cost, and the quality of care received. The main goal of the law is to expand health care coverage, broaden Medicaid eligibility, minimize and regulate health care cost, and improve the health care delivery system. In order to improve the health care delivery there have been new consumer protections established and an increase access to affordable care.
“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
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
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.
Why have the citizens of the United States never heard about a plan as to what would happen if there was a pandemic occurring in the U.S.? This may either be due to the fact that there is more than one plan in place by multiple government agencies such as the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Governors Association (NGA) or the United States has not recently gone through a pandemic with a high mortality rate. The difference between a pandemic and an epidemic is that an epidemic is a disease or virus that spreads through a certain area in a country while a pandemic is a disease or virus that spreads through more than one country. In the last fifty years, there have been many different pandemics present in the U.S.
