The Landmark New Plan A Good Idea?

Health care has been a controversial topic of discussion for all Americans since it was put in effect many years ago. Currently the biggest debate of Healthcare up to date is Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is a Health care Reform that is a governmental attempt to make basic health care easily obtainable. However, there are no benefits without cost in situations like this, and upon that are different viewpoints on the subject thus creating political debates discussing if it is ethically correct. The overall goal that Obamacare hopes to accomplish is that through specific changes through insurance companies, industry standards, and patient guarantees a healthier America will be produced. Obamacare has its ups and downs for both the generally agreeing democratic viewpoints and the opposing republican side. Both viewpoints have their own beliefs about how Health care works and Obamacare is somewhat in between on this. Most arguments on Obamacare deal with Medicaid being constitutional and if Obamacare truly reduces the total cost of health care for individuals and in the government.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been a topic of dispute since its introduction and continues to be discussed by politicians in the U.S. and throughout the world even after its passage. The Act has many opponents and is the cause of much controversy nationwide, primarily because it introduces higher healthcare costs for the richest citizens. Nevertheless, the ACA is an important stage in the American healthcare development process as it not only allows more people to receive healthcare services, but will also reduce the deficit. However, not everyone agrees. The policy is controversial in terms of cost vs. benefits, but the benefits ultimately outweigh the costs.

On March 23, 2010, the Affordable care act also known as “obamacare” was signed into law by president Barrack Obama. Only gay marriage legislations and gun laws have elicited more public response than the affordable care act. Both opponents and proponents have presented constructive arguments of the perceived failures and strengths of the act. Owing to the intense debate surrounding the act, very few people understand that the act only came into full implementation in 2014. The raving reviews and critiques of the debate have bordered on myths and perception influenced by political alignments. Pertinent questions have been asked about the affordable care act. There have been conflicting accounts on the role of the affordable care act in regulating the health insurance industry. Concerns have been raised on why patients are paying higher out of pocket expenses yet the affordable care act was meant to introduce checks and balance in healthcare provisions. This paper therefore seeks to deeply explore the affordable care act by researching on these questions. The paper will also demonstrate perspectives on the good and the bad that comes from the affordable care act. Lastly, the paper will analyze healthcare situation in New York City with statistics showing that healthcare services are becoming more expensive in the city even after the full implementation of the affordable care act.

The goal of this paper is to explain the downfalls of Obamacare and share the stories of individuals affected negatively and directly by the approval of the policy. Although Obamacare set out with good intentions, many people are still left without health care coverage because of the constant revisions of the bill. There have been many taxes raised for the approval of this policy, and has caused problems for individuals who do not want coverage under Obamacare but would want coverage under a different company. Obamacare has helped some, but has caused other problems that would make it a bill that should be up for repeal.

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.

The Obama care Affordable Care Act has advantages, but the disadvantages in the favor of both the insurers and the insured play a major part in if the Affordable Care Act is for the best interest of everyone. In America, the average citizen has plenty to gain than to lose with the new insurance plans. The people on the higher spectrum ;however, will notice more negative effects of the Affordable Care Act as well as the larger businesses that will notice the financial downfall of the new insurance policy. In order to get the money to help insure most of the recipients of the health insurance plans there are new taxes, mostly on high-earners. According to Longman, Phillip, and Paul S. Hewitt, the authors of “After Obama care,” they state, “Workers with employer provided health insurance have to wound of paying this tax largely in the form of foregone wages, pensions, and other benefits.”(Longman & Hewitt 39). Many people that have worked on their jobs are satisfied with the insurance they had and with the new law they are paying more out of pocket in the end than they have before.

If one cannot afford the price of an Affordable Care Act policy they can be assessed fines or penalties based on their income or a set fee, it has caused taxes to be higher and some of the funding for Obamacare comes from already established government insurance that is mainly for the elderly or retired. When it first came out the whole thing was the butt of many jokes as when people tried to enroll, the website crashed or it took people over an hour to sign up and some people found the whole process to be complicated. In order for some companies to be able to afford the premiums for Obamacare they have resorted to having to cut hours from their employees to under 40

The Affordable Healthcare Act is one of the most predominate issues in American Healthcare. While it was not a primary factor in the 2016 presidential election, it was a very important issue. It is important because it serves over sixteen million Americans. I will discuss through research that the two prevailing rules of thought are to either repeal the Affordable Care Act or to improve the Affordable Care Act. I will show the advantages of both and hopefully show which is better for America, not which is better for me.

On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law. Accompanied by a strong sense of disapproval from the public, which resulted in a rush to get the bill passed and deadlines tightened to make sure things were on the agenda on time. A debate ensued among the bill’s supporters regarding the importance of public opinion surrounding the ACA. The vast majority of supporters concluded it is only a minor part of the reform and not a critical component. The ACA has only been in effect for the past few years, and this short time gap makes assessing definitive effects of the ACA difficult. Success in in terms of the ACA is hard to define. This is due to the intentions set forth by the government being genially vague and ambiguous. Even so, with the ACA’s rapid movement through the design process many inconsistences in the reporting and managing of the proposed healthcare policy were noted. This led to an underestimation of the costs and overestimation of the perceived benefits. The result of the cost-benefit analysis and reviews of alternative methods were forgone in order to pass quick regulations. Furthermore, regulators failed to consider the moral hazards of the new rules, which are a result of people changing their habits because they don 't have to worry about the outcomes. For instance, people may smoke or drink more knowing that insurance will pay for any medical treatment. Furthermore, people can use the services for relatively minor issues

When the author writes about a potential negative, they does so in a positive light. This is akin to an interview and the question about a failure is asked. A smart answer is to answer in a way that makes the failure ends up being a positive. The articles notes that the program had a lot of issue during the initial launch, with low enrolment numbers, but notes that it now covers millions of people (CITE). The article likens the Affordable Care Act with other government programs like Social Security and Medicare and how there has been multiple reforms with these programs (CITE). The article details that the Affordable Care Act will also need reform to make it work, but that reform can make it successful. At the same time that success is linked to a Democratic President winning the nomination, as a Republican President will cause it to fail

This paper will critique both my health policy framework and the Affordable Care Act. The paper will outline my small successes and focus on the ineffectiveness of my prior policy framework through an analysis of the Affordable Care Act implementation. While highlighting my framework failures, I will provide some modifications for success using the Affordable Care Act as the guiding policy.

It was stated earlier in this paper that big businesses would benefit from this law; however, the exact opposite is true for small businesses. Businesses will be forced to provide healthcare for their employees or pay a fine, something they may not be able to afford. This may result in employees’ hours being cut or even the termination of the employee (“ObamaCare”).
