The “Affordable Care Act of 2010” also known as “Obamacare” or “Health Care Reform Act of 2010” is a universal healthcare plan that was designed to allow Americans to be able to get quality health insurance that people would be able to afford, and to cut U.S health care spending down as well. Many Americans debated about whether or not it was beneficial for everyone or just certain people, so there are many advantage and disadvantages for Americas due to this reform.…

Obamacare was designed to help the lower income people whose jobs did not provide health insurance or those who could not afford it on their own. A few of the main or biggest beneficiaries of Obamacare include those between the ages of 18 and 34; blacks; Hispanics; and people who live in rural areas. The people that hurt the most from Obamacare include people who are 35 and older and those who are self-employed, or a combination of both. Many of these people who are hurt the most happen to generally be Obama’s political opponents. While there are movements to replace and even to repeal Obamacare, success for these movements seem rather unlikely. For the most part, experts seem to believe that the likelihood of Obamacare failing is basically…

As mentioned in the previous discussion, the ACA law remains a highly controversial subject among government officials, as well as, American citizens. The ACA has induced changes in the effect and availability of affordable health insurance and access to care. According to Whitman, the fact that the ACA law ever passed Congress is an accomplishment in itself (n.d., Slide 40). However, the ACA has also generated both disadvantages and advantages since its induction, which is to be expected with the enactment of any new law into the American society.…
For some time now, Americans have been wanting to switch to a universal health care system. A healthcare system where all Americans will have access to the proper health care that is affordable and fits their needs. Some solutions that can be implemented are replacing for-profit insurance companies, reforming the health care system, and hiring insurance companies that have slow cost growths. These are excellent solutions because there are a substantial number of Americans who do not have health insurance and desperately need it. However, we should not put a national health care system into effect because our current health care system is in a corrupt state and has to be addressed before we can move forward.…

“Successful health reform must not just make health insurance affordable, affordable health insurance has to make health care affordable” (Elizabeth Edwards). Universal health care is one of the primary goals the United States wants for all Americans. The fight for universal health care dates back to 1993 when Bill Clinton suggested a reform bill for employers to provide health insurance, but the Senate rejected it and proposed individuals instead of employees to buy insurance. This specific proposal prompted the government with the necessity to create a health care reform. To give all of the nation’s residents basic health insurance, The Affordable Care Act was passed also known as Obamacare in 2010.…
The United States is heavily watched around the world in terms of politics or any other action as it is one of the leading countries of the world. Recently, the United States caught the eye of the world in its recent debate of the health care reform. Most commonly referred to as “ObamaCare” the official name is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) or for short, the Affordable Care Act (ACA). President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010 signed the Affordability Care Act into law to reform the health care industry and it was later upheld by the supreme court on June 28th, 2012. “The goal of ObamaCare is to give more Americans access to affordable, quality health insurance, and to…
Obamacare is the current form of healthcare that our country uses, and it is one of the worst forms of healthcare that has ever been came up with. It is a terrible system that has been a failure since it was first installed as a government mandate that is required for citizens to have. It has a long list of problems that i can only really scratch the surface of in this essay. If you are a Republican, you probably are already against Obamacare; if you are a democrat, you are all for it most likely and can’t understand what's the big deal with it and why everybody hates it so much, but that's where i come in. Obamacare needs to be changed because it is bad, it has failed, it has problems, and why President Trump is going to get rid…
Healthcare has been a long debated topic in the United States. Currently, about 44 million Americans are uninsured, while another 38 million more report being under insured. When ObamaCare came into effect in 2010 many people, who previously weren’t able to have health care, now had access to health insurance. ObamaCare helped lower the costs of care. Although this helped many citizens in America, people still argue that a universal health care policy would be much better for the country. A universal option (Canada, for example) would cover all citizens and improve overall public health. I believe a universal system would be much better for America for many reasons: it would improve the workforce greatly,…
The government specifically forces one to have a specific health care plan or they are penalized.The government should not decide your health care for you that is one’s decision alone. America is a country about freedom not constraining one’s ability to be independent. In the end, there really is not any advantage for us as the government says there is, they just want more power over the people to become more…
America currently is not the world leader when it comes to the health and well being of our citizens or the quality of treatment. Switzerland is the world leader when it comes to health insurance. This is mainly because it has a universal healthcare program, allowing more patients to be treated. The United States would save an average of $189.5 billion if a universal healthcare system is established. A universal program could have a rather large impact in both these areas. This would enable medical staffers to be able to concentrate on the health and well being of each individual and less around liability, malpractice and insurance procedures. A program like this should reduce healthcare costs. Countries with universal healthcare spend millions…
