Introduction of my paper
My article, which is based on the Affordable Care Act, analyzes five provisions, three regulations, and two the most important cases, including Burwell v. Hobby Lobby and the National Federation of Business v. Sebelius, to explain my understanding of the ACA. I really believe that the ACA is helpful to improve the environment of health care in America. However, it still has some deficiencies. Therefore, I will give some my personal inspirations, which I learn from this course, to illustrate these deficiencies in the ACA. Finally, I will present a brief conclusion about evolution of laws, which will influence the future.
Five Provisions of the ACA The five provisions are related to the human’s rights and people daily life. I choose these five provisions, because I think they have good aspects, which can embrace American spirit and value rights of humans, but they have some deficiencies, which need to be innovated. Some of them are the most popular topic in nowadays, and others have great impacts in people future life. Therefore, I want to choose them, and clarify my personal views of them, which I will present following.
Provision 1.
My first provision is Sec. 1555. “Freedom not to participate in Federal health insurance programs”( PPACA, 2010 ). This provision illustrates that “everyone in America has a right to choice whether if participate in federal insurance care program, and who opt out federal insurance care program will not be penalized”( PPACA, 2010 ). According to this provision, I firmly consider that everyone can choose to out of Obamacare without penalty. In my personal point of view, I really admire this provision. I always considered everyone should join Obamacare before, but now, I know it is not mandatory. This provision can absolutely represent the
