The Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act

This paper explores the flaws within the healthcare system in America that was passed as the Affordable Care Act and Patient Protection Act (PPACA); although, the intent behind the act was meant to do no harm, it seems as if the Affordable Care Act did more harm than good within the majority of the population. There are many sides to any issue, especially concerning the healthcare system within the United States, but based off of research, statistics, and articles one can obviously perceive it to be a good effort upon the American government. Questions arise upon efficiency from a physical/quality perspective of the American people, and also the monetary aspect. As stated, the issue of the Affordable Care Act is somewhat controversial and the politics of the subject are rarely black and white, but an objective view upon the issue is necessary to fully appreciate the act and constructively analyze the issue at hand, and the concerns that arose due to the act. Signed into the law on March 23rd, 2010 by President Barack Obama were the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA was expected to revolutionize American healthcare insurance security by expanding healthcare coverage, lowering insurance costs, improving the quality of medical care, etc., but it seemed to have done just the opposite. One can surely assume that the intent behind the healthcare innovation was completely genuine; however, one certainty can observe the issues following the ACA and Patient

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) signed into law by president Obama on March 23, 2010 is arguably the most extensive reform of health care law ever to be enacted in the U.S. It will impact the way professionals practice health care, the way insurance companies handle health care as a product, and the way consumers purchase and use health care as a service. The Affordable Health Care Act is primarily aimed at reducing the number of uninsured Americans and reducing the overall costs of health care from an administrative and consumer standpoint. The PPACA requires insurance companies to cover all applicants and offer the same rates to all applicants of the same age

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is legislation signed into law by the Obama Administration in 2010 and is gradually becoming implemented over several years. As of 2014 the ACA is requiring nearly every American to have an approved level of health insurance or pay a penalty. The required insurance coverage includes nearly 34 million Americans who are currently or were previously uninsured and is subsidized mainly through Medicaid and Health Insurance Exchanges that will completely or partially pay for coverage. The ACA goes beyond requirements for the individual by including extensive requirements on the health insurance industry and several regulations on the practice of medicine.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010, also known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is a legislation designed to extend coverage to the uninsured, eliminate practices that include rescission and denial of coverage due to pre-existing conditions, and lower health care costs. Moreover, the PPACA provides incentives to businesses to offer health insurance or impose penalties on business that do not provide coverage, and require individuals without health insurance to purchase reasonably priced polices through health insurance exchanges (Martocchio, 2014, p. 143). This health reform legislation was taken into effect in 2010, and is expected to complete implementation over the next few years.

In this paper you are going to learn all about the Accountable Care Organization (ACO). Also, how does it pertain to the healthcare system? We will also be learning about the reimbursement rates for Medicare patients. Who makes up the Accountable Care Organization? We will also take a look into the Affordable Care Act and how the ACO is a part of that.

After numerous failed attempts by previous legislations, President Obama was the first to implement federal health care reform. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), otherwise known as Obamacare, was signed into law on March 23, 2010, in efforts to abate healthcare costs and provide health insurance to all United States citizens and legal residents. The intent of Obamacare revolves around providing universal access to healthcare regardless of a pre-existing condition, setting reasonable prices for health care insurance, and providing government subsidies to those who cannot afford health insurance on their own (up to 400% of the federal poverty level). The law entails many essential provisions, some of which include an

Public policy is a system of laws, regulatory measures, a course of action by which a government maintains order or addresses the needs of its citizens through actions defined by its constitution. The Patient Protection Affordable Care Act is a great example of the power vested in the government to establish laws that will assist in health care reform to provide coverage for many. The PPACA was signed into law in March 2010 by President Barak Obama. This act represents a major adjusting of the health care system in the United States. The Act affirms that everybody should have some basic security when it comes to their health care. There have been many debates and questions of the constitutionally of the health care law. The issue of the “individual mandate” is one that was highly debated and objected by many. The individual mandate requires that all individuals to purchase some minimally insurance policy or pay a penalty. Many feel that such a policy represents a fundamental threat to liberty and an unprecedented leap of power by the federal government and clearly unconstitutional. On June 28, 2012, in a 5 to 4 ruling the Supreme Court upheld that President Obama’s health care overhaul, indicating that it’s a requirement that most Americans obtain insurance or pay a penalty was authorized by Congress’s

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law in March of 2010 after years of struggling to create health reform policy that both sides could agree upon. Prior to the passing of the ACA, the democratic party had attempted for nearly 75 years to create healthcare policy that would benefit all Americans, but it was not until Nancy Pelosi presented the act in July of 2009 to the Senate that progress was seen (History of the Affordable Care ). The act that was created contained nearly 11,000 pages of requirements including ten title sections to group the regulations together. While overwhelming for many Americans to sit down and read, the items included in this legislation that would impact them directly were communicated and discussed in almost all media outlets with support and protest. One of the requirements of the ACA that has impacted all Americans is the Shared Responsibility of Health Care Title I- Subsection F. This ultimately has become known as the requirement for all Americans to have insurance coverage and for many businesses to offer health insurance to their full-time employees.

History was made as the President of the United States signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law on March 23, 2010. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) delivers access to quality, affordable health care to all Americans. The breakthrough legislation, passed in March of 2010, represents the most significant government expansion and regulatory overhaul of the country’s healthcare system since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965 (Dix, 2013). The PPACA promises to reduce health disparities, improve access to preventative services, improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare spending. As stated by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the PPACA will provide coverage to more than 94 percent of

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 is also referred to as ACA or Obamacare. ACA is a federal statute that was signed by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. President Obama worked to make this law a success in order to ensure that Americans receive proper healthcare. The goal of the ACA is to promote quality healthcare and to amplify the accessibility to lower income Americans.

The purpose of this review is to investigate through journal sources, government data points, and published opinions and experiences aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) as it relates to arguments that the law should be repealed. I investigated the goals of the ACA, changes in care and insurance coverage, impacts on the labor market, and changes in insurance premium rates since the ACA was signed by President Barack Obama on March 23, 201 (Hong, Holcomb, Bhandari, & Larkin, 2016) 0.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law in 2010. The ACA is considered the most expansive healthcare reform legislation in the United States since the formation of Medicaid and Medicare in 1965 (Berg & Dickow, 2014). The creation of the ACA ushered in a new progression for the United States healthcare system that put an emphasis on preventive services and primary care (Berg & Dickow, 2014). The ACA also aided in the public problem of the being uninsured in this country. It worked to provide insurance coverage to millions within the United States who are currently uninsured. The ACA is also working to combat the problem areas within the current healthcare system that are of need of modification so that the consumer needs for safe care and improved health outcomes are met (Berg & Dickow, 2014). The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s goals are to the address many different components of reform. It addresses implementing ways for quality, affordable health care for all Americans, the role of pubic programs, enhancing the quality and efficiency of health care, the prevention of chronic disease as well as improving public health, the health care workforce, improved transparency and program integrity policies, improve the access to innovative medical therapies, community living assistance services and supports, and lastly, revenue provisions (Berg & Dickow, 2014).

The issue of the “individual mandate” is one that was highly debated and objected by many. The individual mandate of the PPACA is a requirement that all individuals who can afford health-care insurance purchase some minimally comprehensive policy or pay a penalty. Many feel that such a policy represents a fundamental threat to liberty and an unprecedented leap of power by the federal government and clearly unconstitutional.

I would like to see the integrated primary care clinical setting be changed to allow all Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who hold the DNP degree with the required licensure, accreditation, and certification be recognized for their ability to perform fully within their scope of practice.

On March 23, 2010, President Barak Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or “ObamaCare”) into law, and on June 28, 2012, the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the ACA and its different mandates. The Affordable Care Act seeks to lower the cost of health insurance in America while also increasing its quality by using consumer safeguards, regulations, taxes, subsidies, and other reforms. Many observations and predictive outcomes have been made by both those who support and those who oppose the act by considering the economic impact that a greater access to care, cheaper costs for premiums, and certain federal regulations will have. When building an argumentative case for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the first difficulty lies in how to interpret the vast amounts of data. Since there are so many components to the law, it is possible to make a reasonable case with any viewpoint and simply spin certain information and evidences to fit that viewpoint. This paper will attempt to use actual results and quantified data to create an impartial summary of the economic effects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act so far and also predicts its effects in the foreseeable future.
