Obamacare Persuasive Analysis

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) was signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. While the act is directed at addressing one of the country's most pressing problems, it generated much controversy as a consequence of the ethical dilemmas that it brings on. 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. However, it also involves a legislation claiming that most people have to have health coverage by 2014, with those who do not have it having to pay a fee.

What is Obamacare? “Obamacare is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The name was created by critics of President Obama's efforts to reform health care, but it stuck. Even President Obama likes it, because he says it shows he does care.” (Amadeo, N.d) In short, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a policy in which you are required to obtain medical insurance if you do not already have any, or be subject to a tax. The most easily argued aspect of the bill is constitutionality and this is where the question of government overstepping biblical principles comes into play. “By passing Obamacare, the small minority of elected men known as Congress put the state and themselves over and beyond their sole duty as a ministers of justice, and put themselves in a sovereign position over the lives of Americans.” (Necerato, 2013).

ObamaCare also creates a high-risk pool for people with conditions that are pre-existing. Essentially, this is a way of getting rid of those conditions. However, people who have these pre-existing conditions and health issues can still attain health insurance. There is an exception though; the people with these health issues and conditions receive their insurance at different rates as opposed to the people without pre-existing conditions. Also, people under the age of 19 are no longer considered to have pre-existing conditions. ObamaCare doesn’t allow insurance companies to discriminate against people due to disabilities. It also doesn’t allow insurance companies to deny insurance to people who have been a victim to domestic abuse in their past. ObamaCare also forbids insurance companies from denying their customers coverage because they have reached a lifetime-limit. Essentially, if a person is paying for health insurance, the

Despite the responsibility of healthcare being a power of the states, the national government created a market for privately owned businesses to provide insurance under an umbrella known as “Obamacare”. Obamacare was primarily comprised of the Affordable Care Act, or AFA. The Affordable Care Act, created by the Obama Administration, was passed in March 2010 under the premise that healthcare should be more available to American citizens. These target citizens being the over 50 million who were uninsured for various reasons before the passing of this legislation. They were able to do this by expanding the affordability through various regulations, taxes, subsidies, and other

The Affordable Care Act is one of America’s many insurance plans to attempt to lower costs and provide a wider coverage for citizens all over the country. It is a widely controversial topic in America; especially within the past year. Although there are some people out there who support it, there are also those who base their campaigns on getting it repealed; Donald Trump is a prime example of this. When instituting this policy, Obama had very good intentions, but he was far from fulfilling his intended purpose. Today, the ACA has many flaws that affect Americans both as a whole and individually. Obamacare has raised costs for individuals, contributed even more money to America’s debt, is the complete opposite of what President Obama said it would be, it takes away civil liberties, and puts new standards on patients.

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

“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 and the Healthcare System Medical and health insurance is a very helpful and needed aid in America. Although not

Although the Affordable Healthcare Act, also known as Obamacare, claims to be different from other countries that have socialized their healthcare, it is actually quite similar to them. For example in countries like Canada and Great Britain both have similar systems that are like Obama is trying to implement here in the United States. “This approach has proven a failure in other countries, leading to the rationing of care and the lowering of standards. It will prove disastrous here - a pubic-policy malpractice.” (Gratzer p.4) With this implementation, we could be going down the same path of these countries that have a government run health care system. Even with the system that we have now, that is causing such great inflation in the economy, it will be the same with or without this new legislation. “Government managed health care systems are facing the same problems with the health inflations.” (Gratzer p.11) It is quite clear in both systems that inflation is almost unavoidable. That can be caused by a much deeper root cause of how these legislations are being implemented and played out. “Blame socialized healthcare, which produces rationed care wherever it appears.” (Gratzer p.8) Another great issue with the Affordable Care Act is that it will rationed out, which can cause people to wait for treatment for a really long time. In

In 2010 President Barack Obama was on his first term as president and the senate was controlled by the democratic party, together they made the most significant transformation to the American healthcare system to date. They enacted the Patient Protection and Affordable Care, which would become universally known as Obamacare. Up until this point in American history, the only two government enacted healthcare reforms were Medicare and Medicaid which provide healthcare insurance to qualifying elderly citizens and low-income families (Dye and Gaddie 650). Citizens could be covered by private insurance companies by either paying for them or being provided health insurance through their employer. However, insurance premiums soared after the financial crisis hit and many employers stopped offering their employees insurance (Obama, whitehouse.gov). According to the

However, some people still find Obamacare flawful and rule out the positivity it impacts on people and focus on the negative it causes. The fact that one must at least have an insurance plan that covers 10 minimum essential health care services to have health insurance now or through Obamacare services bugs most. The government also limits patient choice through federal regulation of the insurance market, government interference in the decisions patients make with their doctors, and the rising dependence of government health programs.

We spoke before about the upcoming election, since then however, things have gotten quite a bit crazier between the two primary candidates. While we talked about letting employees vote during work, and about how discrimination can include political parties, we haven’t talked about the aftermath of the election. Both candidates are talking about big changes, and they might directly or indirectly impact your business. What are these promises and why should you take note of them? The two main reasons is there is talk about Obamacare, which many know as the Affordable Care Act, which could bring subtitle to drastic changes to it. There is also talk about making college affordable for students without them going a lifetime in debt. While education

In the Ted Talk “We should aim for perfection- and stop fearing failure”, Jon Bowers outlines his argument for perfection. He begins by giving an example of a “small error” that ended up costing Amazon over $160 million dollars. He then lists more examples draws them forward to present his idea of perfection. The examples show how one tiny error can have an enormous impact and he turns to the audience asking “why we cannot achieve perfection?”. He draws the listeners in by giving personal experience in striving for perfection. “Look, a hundred people die everyday due to vehicular crashes. Think about that for a second. That's like the equivalent of four commercial airliners crashing every week, yet we still can't convince ourselves to pay perfect attention behind the wheel. So I teach my drivers to value perfection”. Jon is an educator for professional delivery drivers and has to ensure that they are prepared to handle any and every situation possible.

As of now, many Americans have problems with their health care and the two political parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, are split on the issue. The past president, Barrack Obama, enacted the Patient Protection and the Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare, on May 23rd, 2010.

Obamacare, officially called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Plan, is reforming the healthcare industry and the American health care system: Even though this reform was developed to give America and more rights and protections within the healthcare system, many are saying it is taking their rights within the healthcare system away. The healthcare reform is said it will help tens of millions who are uninsured but many Americans are seeing Obamacare as a threat related to having the government force them into purchasing insurance or paying a penalty for not having insurance. “The law requires all Americans have health insurance by 2014 (or pay a per month fee for each month without minimum essential coverage). Although this shared responsibility provision is unofficially called an individual mandate, it was ruled to be in fact a tax and not a mandate by the June 28, 2012 Supreme court ruling.” (http://obamacarefacts.com/obamahealthcare-summary/, 2015). A total of 54% of Americans in a recent poll say they are against
