Health Care Pros And Cons

The Affordable Health Care Act was a health insurance plan that was signed into law in 2010 and passed by Congress. The Affordable Health Care Act was intended for people that has no insurance and paying for doctor and hospital visits out of their own pockets. There is nothing wrong with this plan, but if you don’t sign up for it, you will still be taxed for it and have to pay a fine. It contains comprehensive health insurance reforms that will enhance the overall effectiveness and efficiencies of health care process. I think it is a good idea to provide universal healthcare to all U.S. citizens but it needs to be affordable, because some people still are not able to pay for health insurance. It has led to many mergers between hospitals and insurance companies. With the Affordable Health Care Act there is an extension of dependent coverage until the age of 26. This is very beneficial because some parents still have children that are still in school. Everyone have complained about not having health insurance for a long time, and now that it’s available they are still complaining. With the Affordable Care Act, we’re able to go see a doctor even if we have pre-existing health issues. I applied for health care through the Affordable health care for an individual plan and I was told I will be paying $274.
