The Obama 's Health Care Policy

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.

The Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, was passed in March 2010. This over-1000-page Act implements a number of reforms designed to increase the availability of health care for individuals. The Act created a Health Insurance Marketplace, a universal way to sign up for subsidized health care plans (which are cheaper), though you can only get certain plans from certain places, including an expanded Medicaid. It also creates an incentive to purchase health insurance-if you don 't, you 'll have to pay a fine, which is interpreted by many as a tax. Additionally, the Affordable Care Act requires sizable firms to provide a certain level of health care to all of their employees, with certain specifications. Obamacare also attempts to make health care cheaper for many, by trying to even out the cost for everyone.

The Affordable Care Act, often referred to as the ObamaCare was signed into law on March 23, 2010. It has created a lot of controversy since its debut. The Healthcare reform will affect all Americans. The issue has many Americans believing it is a great thing for our country while others believe it is a terrible idea and then of course there are those who don’t know what to think. By Jan 1, 2014 Americans will be required to purchase a health care policy or will have to pay a penalty. Ready or not it’s happening. First you would have to understand the background information of the program. As with all things there are pros and cons to the Affordable Care Act. Because it is a new law it is not flawless there is room for changes and recommendations.

The Affordable Care Act was created by President Barack Obama and is commonly referred to as “Obamacare.” President Obama is an active member of the Democratic Party. His party status is significant due to the fact most Democrats are in support of the Affordable Care Act. The act has made Medicaid widely used as a healthcare insurance in the United States, however Republican Governor Rick Perry and other conservatives have argued against the Medicaid expansion. In Texas the Affordable Care Act is not accepted by very many people, because the state is dominated by Republicans. Most Republicans oppose ObamaCare for many reasons, for example they believe that expansion is too expensive, reduces a person 's incentive to work, and increases social dysfunction.

With every new election comes new legislature the 2008 election had to deal with the hot new topic the Affordable Health Care Act (ACA). Then when Barack Obama was elected into office, he wanted it to be changed to Obamacare. Obamacare and the ACA is relatively the same thing. It is referred to as Obamacare because he is the one who signed for it to be passed. Due to the stress that Obamacare has put on the elderly, state businesses and small local business’s think that the United States should discontinue Obamacare during the next administration.

The Affordable Care Act which is also known as Obamacare and Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law on March 23, 2010 and it has not been without its share of problems, debates and controversies. One of the main points of contention with the PPACA is the individual mandate. This paper will look at the worldviews that are involved in the individual mandate, the worldviews of those that oppose the mandate, the roles and limits of the government’s side of the mandate issue and the conflicting views and ideas that have come about. The individual mandate “requires that most Americans obtain and maintain health insurance, or an exemption, each month or pay a tax penalty” . The whole purpose of creating PPACA was to “achieve near-universal coverage and to do so through shared responsibility among government, individuals, and employers” also to be able to “improve the fairness, quality, and affordability of health insurance coverage” and to be able to “improve health-care value, quality, and efficiency while reducing wasteful spending and making the health-care system more accountable to a diverse patient population” .Those were the top three aims that were pointed out in drawing up the policies for PPACA to develop what was hoped to be universal healthcare for the citizens of the United States. While the PPACA does have its benefits, such as it would cover pre-existing conditions where most private insurances do not do, more people have the

Have you ever noticed that no one actually knows what Obamacare does? People are always talking about how it is evil or how it is amazing, but if you ask people to define what it is, they really can not tell you. All they can do is repeat some small part of it that they critique. I have yet to meet anyone that really understands what Obamacare is, and what it does. That is the question I am going to try to answer with my research paper; what is Obamacare, and what does it do?

ObamaCare, officially known os the the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, is a health care reform law signed in 2010 by President Barack Obama. Many of the law’s provisions are already in effect and the rest continue to roll out until 2022. Obama care offers patients ways to afford healthcare and get better treatment.

Across the country, Obamacare is failing the American people with high costs, few options, and broken promises of lowering healthcare costs. Under Obamacare, premiums have risen by over 40% on average, and over 100 percent in some places making unaffordable health care services. In 2017, five states have only one insurer on the Obamacare marketplace and nearly a third of all counties have only one insurer. According to the McKinsey Center, the number of eligible Americans with only one insurer to choose from increased from 2 percent in 2016 to 18 percent in 2017. Compared to 2016, in 2017 enrollment fell by 500,000 people and enrollment is millions of people below what was initially estimated.

The Obama affordable health care politics has caused many fights among different groups who don’t seem to share and to agree on the politic behind the ACA. The purpose of this reading has mainly been to point out the reasons of the disagreement toward the ACA.

There needs to be an urgent reform of the Obama affordable health care act. The Obama health care act perhaps was an attempt to solve the solution of the American health care crisis. Obama care has created another crisis. Even those with health care coverage can not afford the out of pocket expenses. Emergency rooms are not adequately prepared for the increase in the volume of patients. Health care workers are becoming overloaded and elevated stress levels. There must be a cap on all health care cost for medical treatment. The middleman needs to be cut out. Middleman includes county clinics (on government funding who take advantage) , medical referral services, pharmaceutical company 's, and the health insurance company 's.

Obamacare is becoming a big deal in the united states and mainly texas. Obama said he was making health care his top priority. If he was making it his top priority then why is he trying to take away guns and passing laws i consider unconstitutional. In my opinion if he wanted to make health care his top priority he would offer it free. But no he is making discounted by what a few dollars. My step-father was trying to get it and was denied for the health care. The man needs that health care. but its not just him, it’s every other person who applies. honestly obamacare needs to be shut down effective immediately. not everybody can afford healthcare, like the homeless or the jobless.

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
