Pros And Cons Of The Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act that is commonly known as the Obamacare can be explained as healthcare declaration that was enacted by the Federal government on 23rd March 2010. The main objective of the Act was to reform the US health systems by offering and bettering access to quality and affordable health care, health insurance, and by offering American citizens with more rights and safeguards by minimizing healthcare expenses for both the government as well as the American residents. Moreover, it can also be pointed out that the Act also aimed extending private and public insurance coverage while also regulating the insurance sector. Nevertheless, since enactment of the Act, the Act has been heaving criticized by some quarters to the extent that some political leaders in the USA have expressed their views on repealing the Act (Everett and Dawsey, 2017). Nevertheless, it can also be pointed out that there are those who strongly support the Act and give different reasons to explain the reasons why they are in support of the Act. This essay focuses on the topic of Obamacare and discusses in detail the reasons why the Act should be ammended.

There are many laws in the United States of America, but there is one law that is especially important, as it causes a lot of controversy, and politicians not in favor are trying to shut it down. In the 2016 election, the candidates have different opinions on it, and they argue about it a numerous amount of times. It is one of the main issues of the debates. The law has caused both benefits and problems for citizens of the USA. Some citizens of America have violently protested against the ACA, while some citizens lives depend on it. This law is called the Affordable Care Act, signed in 2010, and I strongly believe that it is a good law.

On Tuesday, September 26, the Senate officially discarded the new plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act. This decision was made after Susan Collins of Maine stated she opposed the repeal. There have been several attempts over the course of the year to repeal the Act, but many Republicans continue to oppose attempts to do so. In July, Senator John McCain was the downfall of that version of the legislation. This week the Senate once again tried to pass a repeal but it was opposed very quickly. The deadline for the repeal was the end of the week and the Republican vote could only afford to lose two votes. By Tuesday, three members publicly opposed the repeal: Ms. Collins, Mr. McCain, and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. Ms. Collins was concerned

We should alter The Affordable Care Act because it has and will have a negative impact on the US causing more political arguments and splits involving the House, Senate, and President.

The Affordable Care Act ended up being passed without any Republican support. Many consequences stemmed from this lack of bipartisan support, including many repeal bills that came up in later years in front of the House and the Senate. These repeal bills were only barely pushed down by Democrats, or moderate Republicans, such as Senator Susan Collins of Maine or Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. During the initial vote on the predecessor to the ACA, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, the House passed the AHCAA by a slim margin of 220 to 215, with 39 Democrats voting against the bill, and one Republican voting for the bill. However, when the Senate voted on their version of the AHCAA in December, all the Democrats in the Senate united

The Affordable Care Act, in other words “ObamaCare” has been a train-wreck of a bill that was rushed into law in March of 2010. This law is the basis of the 2008-2012 Democratic-lead government’s platform that would end up securing the 2012-2016 elections for them. This law was not, pushed so fervently to help the nation, as much as it was to help re-election bids. I believe that the Affordable Care act should be repealed, but not necessarily replaced. The whole principle of government mandated and managed health care is inherently flawed, as to do so, the government must lay out blanket regulations and requirements on both insurance companies and the common citizen, that in a lot of ways aren’t beneficial to

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law on March 23rd, 2010 by President Barack Obama. This radical health care law was a much-needed step in comprehensive health insurance reform.

The Affordable Care Act has benefited millions of americans below the poverty line, by offering insurance at a cheaper cost. One of the biggest benefits of Obamacare, Is that people with pre-existing health problems aren’t denied insurance. Before the act was passed, many people with diseases such as cancer, couldn’t receive coverage. Obamacare doesn’t turn away people because of existing illnesses.

The Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010 representing a reform of the United States healthcare system. At the time the law was passed, I was working third shift so I wasn’t too familiar with how the ACA affected our patients. Most of our patients have Medicare coverage and the ACA added lower prescription costs and added prevention services so patients can live independently for longer. Medicare also provides yearly wellness visits allowing seniors to personalize a health plan in order to stay healthy for longer. Medicare Part D is established by private health care companies on behalf of the federal government. Before the law passed, patients were responsible for all the costs of their prescription medication until they spent a certain dollar amount for the year. During this gap many seniors cut their medications in half or stopped taking them altogether putting their health at risk.

A few benefits the law includes are: insurance subsidies for consumers, transparent exchanges to shop for insurance, new rules protecting consumers from insurance abuse, increased Medicare payments for physicians, and much more.

There are definitely some positives and negatives when it comes to The Affordable Care Act. There are some people who have purchased their own insurance plans from the marketplace solely because it is mandatory to have it; otherwise they receive a penalty fine.

Alternatively, there are many people who are very fortunate to have the coverage as they have a multitude of chronic diseases or cancer for which they are seeking treatment for. These treatments and doctors’ visits would have been simply out of reach for someone
