In other words, the website reports newsworthy and marginally newsworthy stories, but if the reader is a discerning individual who likes to make up his/her own mind, it would be wise to consult other sources to validate the stories first. Using misleading, emotionally charged, headlines that fall short of alignment to the content of an article is also common (Remember the guidelines for writers: “We write the headlines for you). Readers of the Conservative Tribune need to understand they are not going to read anything on the Conservative Tribune website that may be damaging to the conservative cause.

Although division is seen between the political parties of the Republicans and Democrats, points exist to where lawmakers agree on the reform of healthcare. Lawmakers do, however, have three major points they agree. These points are the banning of underwriting by private insurance companies, providing federal funding to assistance low income families with securing insurance, and by accessing Medicare’s funding to its full advantage to reduce patients billing (Times Topics, 2009). While lawmakers have managed to agree on some points, by drafting a complete healthcare reform that is ethical. This will call for Congress to agree on a bill that fits President Obama’s views, requiring substantial research and planning.

The topic that I choose to write my policy brief on is Republican Health Policy. The article that I have selected is “What Would A republican Win Mean for Health Policy?” by Gail R. Wilensky. This article is a current event because of the Presidential elections that are taking place at the moment. As individuals are following the elections, it is important to know the changes that can occur depending on who is elected as the next president of the United States.

In the American House of Representatives, the weeks leading up to March 24 2017 were tense ones. In an attempt to fulfill one of his numerous campaign promises, President Donald J. Trump, worked with the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, to create and pass a replacement for the Affordable Care Act, informally called Obamacare. This replacement was dubbed the “American Health Care Act” and was first passed through the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee. After a passing another vote, the bill was designated to be voted on by the House of Representatives on March 23, 2017, a major decision. The bill was largely opposed, not only from the Democratic party, who is the party in opposition of that which introduced the

Tom Price was confirmed as the secretary of human and health services. The Trump administration was able to finally elect one of the leading figures in the opposition of Obamacare. The political landscape has changed a lot since this confirmation and the uncertainty of the repeal has led to the possibility of more progressive ideas. One of those ideas that has emerged is universal health care as third a third way among voters in both parties. The GOP opposes this option,

The article that I selected for this week’s review focuses on the reaction of hospitals over the most recent draft of the GOP healthcare bill, The Better Care Reconciliation Act. The bill stands to generate major cuts to Medicaid funding. The bill, which was just released today, is already drawing up skepticism and opposition by hospital groups. Rick Pollack, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association, stated, “If enacted, the Better Care Reconciliation Act would mean real consequences for real people — among them people with chronic conditions such as cancer, individuals with disabilities who need long-term services and support, and the elderly" (Leonard, 2017). Those who are in most need of healthcare services and are on Medicaid

For the last several decades, health care reform has been at the forefront of the debate involving the socio-economic state of the United States of America. In all major elections since the mid to late 1980s, politicians have discussed the need for health care reform as the cost of care has rising over time. As the United States moved into the 1990s, President Bill Clinton made health care reform a major priority of his presidency. While his efforts ultimately failed, despite the fact his party held the majority in congress, the conversation has continued and lead to the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, commonly called the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

U.S. health care reform is currently one of the most heavily discussed topics in health discourse and politics. After former President Clinton’s failed attempt at health care reform in the mid-1990s, the Bush administration showed no serious efforts at achieving universal health coverage for the millions of uninsured Americans. With Barack Obama as the current U.S. President, health care reform is once again a top priority. President Obama has made a promise to “provide affordable, comprehensive, and portable health coverage for all Americans…” by the end of his first term (Barackobama.com). The heated debate between the two major political parties over health care reform revolves around how to pay for it and more importantly, whether it

“We will pass reform that lowers cost, promotes choice, and provides coverage that every American can count on. And we will do it this year.” The preceding is a powerful statement from the newly elected President Barak Obama. One of the main aspects of both political campaigns was health care reform. The above quote shows passion and encouragement, but the quotes about health care do not end there. Georgian republican gubernatorial candidate and health care policy maker John Oxendine expressed: “Their proposal would virtually devastate the private healthcare sector in this country along with competition and patient choice, by replacing it with bureaucratic planning and government control. The result of this plan and its one trillion

Whether you are a woman, a man, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, native born, and immigrant, gay, straight, trans, latino, black, white, purple, or green. President Obama granted you the rights you deserve and encouraged others to do so as well. You have fought for women's rights, minority rights, and LGBT rights. Thank you for making us feel wanted and welcome here in the United States of America. We all know that President Obama is a moral being, an amazing speaker, charismatic, and just down right cool. But sometimes we take for granted all that you have given us. And Michelle Obama. Thank you for being an amazing leader and an amazing role model to the 157 millions women in this country. I know it’s hard to give up your presidency but as we witnessed in your final speech to the nation, you did it with class and encourage us all to do the same. Thank you. Thank you for all you have done to strengthen our nation. We will miss you tremendously Mr.

On top of that big fat slab of equality and togetherness, President Obama also begins to usher in a sense of endless possibilities and hope through the audience. He juxtaposes the “ending of war” to the beginning of economic recovery (Isn’t that a lie in the state we’re in?). This solidifies hope and the use parallelism, “ we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together". He begins again, this time using a parallelism that is used throughout the rest of the speech, “we, the people,” to even further establish togetherness and also builds Obama’s presidential

As we pass through bucolic pastures, then weave through rolling hills, and finally skirt the granite cliffs of Cannon Mountain, we delve deeply into discussion. Our quintet harbors one staunch socialist along with four pragmatic moderates, and we tend to argue substantive policy issues. As sunrise glimmers through Virgil’s grimy windshield, we debate the ideals and realities of American healthcare policy, heatedly, yet with more honesty and civility than exists on the presidential campaign trail.
