The Obamacare Debate

With the upcoming election for president, we have a chance at having Obama Care repealed. The presumptive Republican party nominee, Donald Trump, has a plan in place that will be ready to take action if he is elected president. If he is elected president, Congress will be asked to immediately repeal Obama Care. Together Donald Trump and Congress will then work together to implement a series of reforms that follow free market principles. The reforms will restore economic freedom to everyone in this country. Donald Trump’s plan will broaden health care access, make health care more affordable, and improve the quality of the care available. As part of a comprehensive reform effort, the Trump Administration will work to restore faith in government and economic liberty.

On March 23, 2010 President Barack Obama introduced a new healthcare system because various Congress representatives and Obama believed our country needed a change. This new healthcare system was called the Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as Obamacare. It is now 2016, and it is time for more changes. With a new president coming into office, Donald Trump, we can expect changes to Obamacare or an entirely new healthcare system altogether. Obamacare is costing Americans more than it was intended to (Galen Institute). This essay will explain why Obamacare needs to be improved and how to improve this healthcare system. Obamacare has two types of supporters. The first type of supporters believe there is nothing that can be done to make this healthcare system better, while the second type think there should be changes to reinforce this health care system. Opponents believe Obamacare needs to be changed or ended altogether because they claim it is not helping the American citizens. Going forward, Trump should make changes to Obamacare in order to make it stronger instead of scrapping it altogether.

One of our nation’s most controversial topics since the year 2009, and still continues to affect our country, is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) also known as Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. The Law was designed to extend coverage to millions of uninsured Americans and protect patients from abuse or discrimination. The Affordable Care Act affects, all Americans, either in a positive or negative way. It is an issue that has come to separated our congress, it has divided the republican and democratic parties, to the point where the Government was shut down.

Controversy surrounds The Affordable Care Act (ACA). Some Americans are for it and some Americans are against it. Whether you agree with the Act or not, let’s not forget it is still the law. Now, the question remains how long will it stay in place with the President elect? What exactly is the Affordable Care Act? Per (obamacarefacts.com), the ACA was signed into law March 23, 2010 by President Obama. The law requires all Americans to have health insurance by 2014. If you do not obtain health insurance, you must pay per month for each month you did not have insurance (obamacarefacts.com). The law also allowed states to opt out of expanding Medicaid (obamacarefacts.com). According to (hhs.gov) the ACA has improved access, increase the quality

Obamacare also known as the Affordable Car Act was a law signed to reform the health care industry. The goal of Obamacare is to give more Americans access to affordable, quality health insurance to reduce spending. The update on Obamacare includes many disadvantages to those that have low income. For example open enrollment will be pushed closer without notice, higher out of pocket costs, and narrower networks availble. Obamacare offers many benefits, rights and protections that the new Trumpcare doesn't provide. Enacting the new Affordable Care Act with Trumpcare will reduce federal deficits by $119 billion. The number of people who will be uninsured will increase by 23 million which will leave a total of 51 million people uninusred by 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

control of both houses of Congress by the Democrats led to the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), often referred to as “Obamacare” was signed into law in March 2010 since then, the ACA, or Obamacare, has become a centerpiece of political campaigning” (Manchikanti et al., 2017). The Republicans now being in absolute in control of the presidency and both houses of Congress and are attempting to repeal and replace the ACA. Moreover, the future of the healthcare reform is still uncertain, especially due to the Republican party and by President Donald Trump. Affordable Care Act reform has given insurance coverage about 20 million people, reduced the cost of it, and improved quality of care to all patients. There are several laws of

The Affordable Care Act is one of America’s many insurance plans to attempt to lower costs and provide a wider coverage for citizens all over the country. It is a widely controversial topic in America; especially within the past year. Although there are some people out there who support it, there are also those who base their campaigns on getting it repealed; Donald Trump is a prime example of this. When instituting this policy, Obama had very good intentions, but he was far from fulfilling his intended purpose. Today, the ACA has many flaws that affect Americans both as a whole and individually. Obamacare has raised costs for individuals, contributed even more money to America’s debt, is the complete opposite of what President Obama said it would be, it takes away civil liberties, and puts new standards on patients.

Obamacare is an extremely controversial topic amount American people. What was originally supposed to help the uninsured receive insurance has turned out to be anything but that. Obamacare is one of the most unproductive investments that Obama and his administration team have unveiled. The time and effort they spent on Obamacare could have been spent coming up with a valid and cost effective way for uninsured Americans to obtain health coverage. Obamacare has caused many Americans to remain uninsured, and many have lost their existing coverage due to the new Affordable Healthcare Act. A solution to the problem is to let Americans choose the insurance they want and allow the government to crack down on insurance companies, not dictate what Americans can and cannot do.

In June 2012, Time Magazine published a special reports/issue regarding Chief Justice John Roberts and Obamacare. Justice Roberts mediated and ruled over the issue of healthcare in a situation where the Supreme Court vote was deadlocked. The issue features articles describing the political and social context in which Roberts made his decisions and examines the implications of his actions for the Obama administration as well as for the citizens of the United States of America. Roberts firmly defends his positions, standing up to Republicans and Democrats alike, to the amazement of many, Roberts cedes to neither side and yet also provides satisfaction to both sides. The article refers back to the days of the New Deal when comparing the gravity of Robert's role in American healthcare in this issue. Healthcare is an issue that is important and sensitive to most Americans, particularly during the economic obstacles present and experience during the 21st century. Obamacare is an issue that insights heated debates and intense opinions from all across the political spectrum. Roberts was very much aware of all these tensions are he stepped into court. Since the ruling, various parties involved in this issue have spun the verdict into press for their own objectives. Republicans have taken the "loss" suffered in the compromise and united behind their angst. President Obama has redoubled efforts to pass more and similar kinds of

Since the early days of our nation, our founding fathers wanted change. At the peak of his campaign, Barack Obama promised the change the country had been longing for. He promised health care reform and new benefits, something that had been tried to achieve by numerous presidents after the signing of the New Deal by President Roosevelt. Obama promised change but not the type he wanted. His change came under the name of the Affordable Care Act, a bill that was filled with empty promises. The Affordable Care Act nicknamed “ObamaCare” was supposed to benefit all but instead of helping our nation's citizens, it burdened them. It burdened them with higher taxes, less hours of work, and higher costs for “affordable”

The Affordable Care Act issued by President Obama has been a law since March of 2010. The law has its pros and cons, and it has been endorsed or rejected by those who oppose or support it. Over the past six years, the longevity of this law, many more debates, arguments, and questions have ensued to improve such a law that has impacted so many citizens. With the new president on his way into office, it has prompted the following questions, What will happen to the Affordable Care Act, and what will happen to the future of healthcare? President-Elect Trump mentioned a draft for a new concept for healthcare and he stated that Obamacare will become a thing of the past, but the questions remain, “ How much of the Obamacare will prevail and how much will be changed or repealed entirely?”

Position on Topic: Obamacare is one of the most highly argued topics in today’s economics and politics alike. Many people believe that its goal of universal healthcare is a good thing and that healthcare should be a right as a U.S citizen. Others believe that Obamacare is a disaster causing people to pay more unnecessary taxes in order to compensate for people who are unable to pay for healthcare due to poverty status and is economically unfavorable. There are also people who believe it should be kept but many changes need to be made in order to make it effective. Considering both arguments, I believe Obamacare should be repealed and replaced with a new healthcare policy.

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.

Obamacare may be one of the most debatable topics at the moment ever since 2010. For those who are still confused on what Obamacare is and how it works is understandable and common amongst Americans. Obamacare is also known as the Affordable Care Act. It can be summed up as a law that ensures every American has access to health insurance that is affordable and within their budget. This is done by offering people discounts on government-sponsored health insurance plans, and by expanding the Medicaid assistance program so they include more people who can’t afford health care. In order for someone to qualify for Obamacare they must have an insurance plan that covers at least ten essential services that pertain
