The new healthcare policy made insurance mandatory for all Americans, which was an excellent idea. Many Americans feel that healthcare is something that everyone should have. Some people may be unable to afford it, but there are programs designed to help those less fortunate. These programs are mainly government supported and assisted. Medicaid is a form of government assisted insurance and programs as such are helpful but limited. In my opinion, some insurance or even limited insurances is better than none at any case. Obama was determined to pursue the healthcare plan despite the failed efforts by Clinton and Bush. Obama was criticized greatly, but he continued to carry out his plan in the most effective way possible. Insurance is a…

Many studies have show that people without health insurance do not get the health care they need. The sicker they become, the more tests, surgeries, and other health care services they need. This scenario increases costs to the health care…
The U.S government should not require its citizens to have health insurance. It Infringes on Individual rights and freedom According to the U.S Declaration of Independence, “All men are endowed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Liberty, an individual’s right to have control over their own actions. The word that is also printed on the back every U.S coin. “Give me Liberty or give me death!” The idea that our founding fathers fought for and built our country on. To require or demand something to someone who was guaranteed freedom is unconstitutional, and infringes on the rights of the citizens of America. Wall Street Journal Writers David B. Rivkin and Lee A. Casey agree in their article “Mandatory Insurance is Unconstitutional” by stating “Such a mandate, however, would expand the federal government’s authority over individual Americans to an unprecedented degree. It is also profoundly unconstitutional.” The U.S government does not in fact have the right to take away rights established by our fore fathers. Or as the Federal Judge Henry E. Hudson a little less formally stated “It’s like giving Congress the ability to force Americans to buy and automobile, to join a gym, or to eat asparagus.’’…
In conclusion, I strongly feel healthcare is a right and affordable insurance should be provided to everyone. There is such gluttony in the world today that we forget as healthcare individuals, our first responsibilities is to help people, and the few cents we are paying for the uninsured will guarantee medical care to those who can’t afford it, we never know, one day we could be one of those individuals in need of insurance due to unforeseen…
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.…
I agree with you, the United States health care system is very expensive. Because of this many people do not have health insurance. People how to have less income they cannot afford the health insurance because of premium and copayment. That makes them jeopardy their health. Uninsured people have less access to recommended care, receive poorer quality of care, and experience worse health outcomes than insured people do. People who are uninsured suffer significant health consequences as a result of not having insurance. Being uninsured has been correlated with poorer quality of health care, lower rates of preventive care, and greater probability of death. Many uninsured people avoid seeking medical care unless they are faced with an emergency,…

With A free health care plan there would create a surplus in currency. Doing this could help to fund plenty of other important aspects in our society for instance the money could help fund education around the country by providing books, computers, and even fund the pay checks of new teachers. With a surplus in currency we can also cut the national debt immediately which would also give more money to social security and grants for schools. This would also benefit those who are aspiring to have their own businesses because their insurance will not be affected. With less focus on health care cost we can protect our nation by advancing the study of weapons and home defense. This would make a stronger, safer, and cleaner society to live in and cut crime to minimal numbers.…
Protesting over Trumps speech and winning the presidential debate won´t improve us latinos any better. Brandishing Mexican flags and signs bearing language unfit primetime television , activists were whipped into a violent fury over the mere idea of The Trumpl speech . We assaulted Trump supporters ,threw rocks at police and destroyed a few cop cars. We are just taking everything a negligent way and not acting like grown ups that we are. Our Latino nation is not being represented the way it suppose to be represented.…
Health insurance comes as second nature to many of us. We grab that blue and white card and put it in our wallet behind old Irving fill-station receipts and forget about it until we are sick or injured. When this happens, there it is, cushioning our fall like the extra padding it provided to cushion our wallets. This is not the case with everyone, however. Many Americans have no cushion to fall back on, no blue and white card to show the emergency room when they have an unexpected health concern. No HMO with a convenient co-pay amount when their son or daughter develops an ear infection. Medicine and other health services are expensive without these important conveniences that many people lack. These…
Insurance companies can no longer deny coverage for those with preexisting conditions (White House, 2012). The many young adults who were uninsured can now be able to stay under their parent’s coverage (White House, 2012). Also many employers now have to provide insurance coverage for their employee’s (White House, 2012). This was a problem for me because I have a condition with my heart and my current employer does not provide healthcare coverage for the employees. I will be getting kicked off my father’s insurance coverage when I turn 26. So this was great news for me and the many middle class Americans around the world that could not afford health insurance. This will also increase the number of positions in the medical field which will help to decrease the unemployment rate. I hope that this new act that will start in 2014 will help make things better for the hard working middle class. I know what it feels like to not be insured. I was uninsured for 6 years before I was added to my father’s plan. I was uninsured because I could not afford health insurance and my employer didn’t provide health insurance for their employees. I felt that I was putting my health at risk and I agree that every employer should provide health insurance to their employees even if it’s a minimum wage…
The benefits of Obamacare are beneficial to the American people. It will give the people health care for any conditions the person may face, give people better rates while working, and over all the life of the people are a huge enhancement to their lives. “In reality, Obamacare has strengthened the for-profit insurance industry by transferring public, tax-generated revenues to the private sector.” ( WAITZKIN, HOWARD p.1). The meaning of this is that Obamacare has made more profits in a private sector, in result the revenues has also climbed up.…
Do people believe the United States should prove free health care to everyone? Some people believe that the United States should provide a health care plan. People believe the health care should be affordable for everyone. That vaccinations should be affordable for everyone to purchase. The United States should provide a right to health care plan.…
It is no secret that there is much controversy surrounding the health care system in the United States (US). The hybrid public-private nature of the system has resulted in many inequalities for users. These inequalities include access to primary and preventative health care, access to affordable health care and the uneven outcomes of health care interventions. Even more challenging is the lack of agreement of government and policy makers on how to address these difficulties. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was enacted in 2010 with a key goal of expanding the accessibility of healthcare coverage to more people in the US. While the PPACA reshapes the landscape of…
