According to the journal ‘The Online Journal of Issues in Nursing’ Sorrell attempts to ascertain how legislature, individual and communities struggle to enact health care reforms that are upheld constitutionally in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The health care act was first enacted in 2010. The Affordable Care Act outlines important ethical reforms of justice that provide quality health care to everyone across the U.S regardless their financial status and pre-existing conditions (sex). This paper research discusses Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and its provisions to regulate equality among individuals and medical professionals in sharing resources and benefits of health care act (Sorrell, 2012). According to Sorrell, provisions enacted outlines guidelines to insurers, state, consumers and employers on strategies to employ to expand on coverage of insurance, control of cost and prevention of target. Inclusive reforms in the PPACA prohibits insurers from denying consumers coverage of pre-existing conditions, funding or subsidizing rates of insurance rate, expanding the entitlement of Medicaid and provision of business with incentives of health care benefits. The primary objective of the project was targeting individuals aged between 19-64 years. This was as a result of deteriorated access to health care and health services in general, especially the uninsured in the years 2000-2010 (Kenny, 2012).
The bill implementation into law will see through an insurance coverage of 94% of the total population of United States citizens. This will increased Medicaid by 15 million people as beneficiaries, hereby reducing the number of uninsured by 31 million people. However, the statistics approximates that about 24 million people will still remain uncovered by the insurance (Kenny, 2012).
