    Obama Care also increases a person’s protections. This means that Obama Care has implemented measures that will no longer allow an insurance company to drop a customer while they are sick. Also it stops the insurance companies from cutting off a customer’s coverage due to time limits. Obama Care’s most important aspect is that it makes it much more difficult for insurance companies to deny coverage based upon preexisting conditions, and if a person with a pre-existing condition is denied, the individual has a more legal standing.…

    ObamaCare or the Patient Protection Affordable Act established in 2010 has been booming since. It was estimated that ObamaCare would cost approximately from 900 billion to 1.76 trillion more over debt. This program was established to give patients with low income a better advantage in picking out an insurance. The plan costs so much because it adds money to hospitals and different establishments which require that to effectively run the plan. The true purpose of this plan was to bring the costs of medicaid and medicare down for each patient so they can have healthcare coverage, but the patient must stick with the plan for 9 months otherwise the patient will be taxed. One downfall to this is that many companies had to shut down their healthcare…

    A few years ago, there was an announcement about a new health insurance in the United States, which is called Obamacare. President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law on March 20, 2010. Obamacare is a nickname for the set of health care reform rules found in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Obamacare has indeed reduced the number of Americans without insurance. This insurance has two big declared goals to reduce the number of Americans who lack health insurance and to cut health spending that doesn't give good value for money, because it makes health care services affordable and accessible to almost everyone. According to the US government, Obamacare “helps to increase the number of primary care physicians, nurses, physician assistants and other health care professionals." As with the health care industry as a whole, for many years market forces had little or no impact on the health care workforce.
