The First 100 Days In The White House Are Always A Tell

The first reason why Clinton was the worst President is because of the scandals of his extra marital affairs that came out to light. Clinton impressed people with the idea of a family man in office. In the face of allegations that he committed adultery and maintained a twelve-year love affair with Gennifer Flowers, Clinton used five strategies: denial, bolstering, attack accuser, transcendence, and differentiation (Blaney & Benoit, 2002). His strategies would not work again when the media brought to light another affair. It was a slap to the face of the Americans when in 1995 Clinton had an affair with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern (Blaney & Benoit, 2002). Clinton lied about his relationship with Lewinsky and he allowed his family, cabinet and staff to repeat his lies for seven months while he remained silent (Blaney & Benoit, 2002). Pandora’s Box was open and the reason for his impeachment is that he lied under oath during the testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit, and to the grand jury during the Monica Lewinsky investigation. So, the question arises, “Do we want our Chief Executive and Commander-in- Chief distracted by scandal when facing decisions of great domestic and foreign importance?” Regardless of one’s ideological learnings the answer ought to be “no,” because potential problems affecting all Americans might develop without recourse to the best possible decisions (Blaney & Benoit, 2002).This brought doubt among the American people that his

The Obama Administration as well as the media began to challenge these attacks, often when presented the facts lawmakers would retreat from the attack, however once in the political lexicon, the attack no matter how erroneous or false would continue to be repeated. This allowed Republicans to win a narrow victory in 2016 bringing Donald Trump to the Presidency. Trump a political outsider campaigned on many controversial items, from border control, to health care and all the while insisting that he could do the same thing with less complications. After winning the election Trump began pushing his agenda by offering a 33-page bill known American Health care Act was designed to repeal and replace the Patients Protection and Affordable Care Act.

The article illustrates that how republican candidate, Donald Trump, wants to change the aspects of health care. As mentioned in the article, Trump wants to make vast decisions on health care and wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (Wilensky, 2016). The Affordable Care Act was created in order to help individuals obtain insurance. The Affordable Care Act was created during Obama’s presidency and is a part of Obamacare. If Trump is elected, he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which can cause a variety of issues for those individuals who depend on it. There has also been a discussion about raising the Medicare eligibility age of 67, which would make it difficult for individuals who need the help before the age of 67. Individuals rely on the Affordable Care Act and Medicare because it allows them to have access to the

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

Today’s political landscape is more polarized than ever before. The age-old tradition of compromise and “reaching across the aisle” seems to be more and more unlikely. Nonetheless, there has been no issue more polarizing than healthcare. It is a policy that has traditionally created a rift between the Republican and Democratic parties since its inception in the 1960s. With a majority in both Houses of Congress, the Republicans look to overturn Obamacare as their first priority. Congressman Tom Price 's (R-G.A.) 's introduced the Empowering Patients First Act in 2015, legislation that will completely overturn Obamacare. Recently, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) unveiled the first page of the Republican alternative to Obamacare. It is essential

Ever since announcing his candidacy for the presidency, the now President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, emerged as an anti-Obama regime leader. He vowed that he would scrap off most of the changes that Obama had made when in the presidency (Rovner & Terhune). Some of this included the same-sex marriage legislation and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which is popularly known as Obamacare. The Obamacare is a policy that had benefited a lot of people in the United States, especially those in the middle and lower class factions of the society. They managed to obtain insurance and were able to access medical care despite the increased costs in service provision. However, President Trump did not completely do away with the ACA but

President Barrack Obama proposed the idea of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or otherwise known as ObamaCare in 2010 according to the American Public Health Association (APHA)(2014). The ACA is intended to provide health insurance to people in the United States who cannot afford it. According to Norton (2014), not very many people actually understand the new Health Care Reform, 64 percent of Americans say that they don’t understand it. Also, 40 percent of those same people said that they don’t know what an insurance deductible is either. I had to do a little research myself and found that Lalli (2013) reports that we the people of the United States will have many benefits from the ACA. The first one is ambulatory patient services. This means that you come in, they will take care of you, and then you can leave. The second benefit is prescription drugs, which means that under the ACA people will be able to afford the medicine that they need. Another benefit is emergency care, which includes visits to the emergency room for reasons such as a stroke. The fourth benefit is mental health services, which provides a limited amount of visits to professional help and will only be billed about 40 dollars for their session. The fifth benefit is hospitalization, which can be very expensive but with the ACA, people will only have to pay 20 percent of the bill. Lalli (2013) continues the list of benefits: the sixth benefit being

In my view The Patients’ Choice Act that was introduced by Paul Ryan in 2009 would have been a better choice for the new health care reform than The Affordable Care Act. Even though there is no health care crisis of the uninsured, Ryan’s plan would have involved incentives for preventive care that could lower the cost of premiums and encourage healthier lifestyles. Under The Patients’ Choice Act, the American people retain their freedom whether to have health care or not; however the ACA has a personal mandate that requires individuals to carry health care insurance or face a fine (tax). There are consequences when people feel they have a right to health care instead of working for it. Ryan’s

Travelgate would be another scandal that would lead to several more that would be the focus of the Clinton years. During Clinton’s first year in off he would fire the White House travel office with the allegation of theft. The workers that were fired were not charged in any court as the court U.S. District Court would throw out the charges. The stress of dealing with this and other problems during the early portion of the

A lot can happen in the first hundred day in a new presidency. There are several factors that can affect how the first hundred days in office go including the unpopular/popular vote, state of economy going into presidency, and their political background/involvement. Despite being a little over three months, several executive orders can put in place, repealed, or changed. For example, President Trump did not have a lot of experience politically going into presidency and has already set some executive orders in his seventy-seven days of presidency, respectively. The first hundred days should be a time of adjustment, assessment, and the beginning of some orders rather than spewing out orders immediately. In my opinion, the first 100 days of a new presidency is not very important for the following reasons:

Obamacare has taken a back seat recently in the news to the everyday antics of the current presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Despite being out of the spotlight Obamacare has been wreaking havoc for some families especially Michelle Malkin a small business owner in Colorado. Malkin's article, Obama Lied. My Third Health Plan Just Died, starts out by going through a brief history of her families Health insurance. Basically, they were dropped by their health care company three times use in the past few years. Malkin then goes on to state that Obama had promised that "If you like your doctor you can keep them," and "No one will take them away no matter what." It seems that this was one big lie as this is happening to families across America. Due to The Affordable

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.

In the realm of healthcare, there are different views and equally different oppositions to those views. For the real estate mogul, Donald Trump, his views on healthcare are to end and replace “Obamacare” with something far less expensive and better for the country. Texas Senator, Ted Cruz, vows to repeal the Affordable Care Act and propose commonsense reform, making healthcare more affordable, personal, and portable. Further, he pledges to promote competition within the marketplace and disempower the government from

During the final stretch of Trump’s campaign, a 100-day plan was introduced by then-candidate Donald Trump. The vow to the American voter, highlighted policies that Trump proposed and pursued through both legislative and executive action. Taking a walk back to the campaign trail, echoes of Trump, stating that he would “Make America Great Again,” would become his proverbial platform of hope, upon which he built his promises. Standing before a large crowd in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on October 22, 2016, Trump told the crowd

To be truthful, Obamas general motive behind the plan is not a bad one. He wanted to assist those who could not afford Obamacare and lower the prices and find a safe way to make it available to everyone. Obama did not consider quite a few variables in the planning phase of this project. For one, While Obama is all for studying which medical procedures are worthwhile for patients; he does not think to include doctors in these government conversations. He is not completely gripping onto the fact the government and the medical industry probably wants the same thing when it comes to health care: to lower the price. Leaving these two groups separate on this project, with him as the man-in-between was a terrible mistake because there is bound to be disagreement. Evidently it is difficult for him to grasp how this is a medical plan. “Being wrong is not the same as lying. Obama knew the funny numbers his administration was putting out. And he looked the American people in the eye and lied to them (Klein). Obama recently designated 140 billion dollars to health care, but we already are vastly in debt it is not even funny (Obama Designates $140 Billion to Health Care).
