In his article “Outlook for healthcare under a President Trump” Dr. Charles J. Lockwood describes the way he believes President Trump will take healthcare. He argues that the President’s new policies will cause many problems throughout society on many levels. President Trump has decided that many factors of healthcare and insurance can be eliminated. He says pre-existing medical conditions can now be denied by insurance companies. Another major point Lockwood made was that President Trump would be terminating the requirement of health insurance because he does not agree with the amount of money being paid to insurance companies to offer premiums to low income or young customers. Lockwood says we should expect to lose all federal support for Medicare and Medicaid, which is currently helping thousands of people. By cutting out these programs, it not only hurts the customers but also the hospital employees.
Growing up in a family of medical professionals, Lockwood points out a perspective that usually goes unseen. While the families impacted largely are those

One of the author’s reasoning for how taking away ACA would affect Medicaid is back in 2016 legislation tried to step away from it, but former President Barack Obama repealed it because could eventually affect the lives of millions of people. The authors also cover how ACA changed Medicaid for the better, for example creating a program for just children’s coverage, inventing a new method to determine eligibility, and even creating new benefit options for families and small businesses. The author describes how the new Presidential administration can repeal or alter Medicaid through Section 1115. The authors main argument is that by repealing ACA would eliminate the Medicaid system which in turn will allow millions of people to be
In 2009, President Barack Obama constructed a speech to inform the people of the problems we had in our healthcare system. Previously, there had been many instances of people who didn’t own any healthcare coverage, and in return they suffered from debt from medical bills. He challenges your mind to think critically over all the hard, concrete logos he uses throughout his speech. After he provides strong logos for the medicare providers, he shows vivid imagery about things that would be changed to help the people and our economy alike. While he gives this strong well rounded speech, he keeps his composure and controls his facial expressions.
Introduction The recent article in the New York Times with the title ‘Making Medicaid a Tool for Moral Education May Let Some Die’ is worth reviewing. President Trump promised Americans that his policies are directed towards making America a great country again. He proposed to repeal the Affordable Care Act and as a result there has been some changes in Medicaid enrollment policy. Kentucky became the first state to impose work requirement to be eligible for Medicaid.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law in March of 2010. Assess the effectiveness of the PPACA in the past year both for a person and for the nation, declare an opinion of whether the law is good for the economy or bad for the economy, and finally - from a health policy perspective, suggest if any changes need to be made to the law in the future, what those changes should be, and why. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), commonly called the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or, colloquially, Obamacare, is a United States federal statute signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. The comprehensive health care reform law enacted in March 2010.
Polarization in both politicians is evident, especially when pertaining to controversial issues. This paper will explore the political polarization in Congress on the issue of health care, with a focus on the Affordable Care Act. The thesis of this paper is to highlight how polarized politics on health care leaves no place for moderates or bipartisanship. Polarization in Congress often leads to the gridlock, which has been a constant pain for Americans.
The author provides an extensive amount of information for the reader to form an educated opinion on the Obamacare, however, the information is biased.

A Second Look at the Affordable Care Act David E. Mann, ABA American Military University POLS210 Abstract Since the passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), twenty-eight states have either filed joint or individual lawsuits to strike down the PPACA. This document will examine a few key elements that the President of the United States must take into consideration when reviewing the act and moving forward to either ratify the act, replace the act, or leave the act as it is. Topics that will be presented will include; the current issues being debated, two competing thoughts on how to fix the ACA, an evaluation of the preferred solution, and finally the responsibility of each level of government. Patient
With Donald Trump’s presidency, Republicans are trying to replace Obamacare, which could be both beneficial and harmful to health care providers like UnitedHealth Group. Millions of Americans are insured through Obamacare, therefore if it were taken away, there would be more exposure for health care insurers such as UnitedHealth Group. The abolishment of Obamacare could be beneficial to the company because it would permanently eliminate the Health Insurance Industry Tax, which could overall save UnitedHealth Group millions. On the other hand, since the Affordable Care Act was launched in 2010, Medicaid has been one of UnitedHealth Group’s largest money-makers.
The debate on how to effectively address the nation as a whole in terms of health care coverage has really heated up in recent years. With former President Obama working on legislation over his two terms starting in 2009 and producing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) otherwise known as “Obamacare”, the conversation seems to always to be stagnated along party lines between big government oversight vs little government oversight on the issue. With the implementation of the ACA, it seems that as of right now, the country is slowly moving towards an end where the government sees to it that in one way or another everyone is covered. Even with the recent Republican efforts, the ACA seems to be the United State’s early creation of a healthcare system which aims for all to be covered, one that is shared by many countries on the global scale. Even though the U.S. seems to become one of many countries where every man, woman, and child is covered, the way they will do it may not be like most and depend on the ACA.
In the United States, health insurance is deemed a luxury by many Americans who dream of one day acquiring it. To those individuals, the “American Dream” is being able to have a stable job, live in a proper house, and being able to have packaged insurance. Not many people can say that they have the trifecta of insurance: health, dental, and vision. The Affordable Care Act has had a significant impact on the healthcare system in the United States, but the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, has changed what we have perceived to be as normal. With such changes, I believe that it was a change for the better because people don’t feel the need to be pressured to have it, especially those who are not in a finically stable position, they now have an opportunity
Health care should not be considered a political argument in America; it is a matter of basic human rights. Something that many people seem to forget is that the US is the only industrialized western nation that lacks a universal health care system. The National Health Care Disparities Report, as well as author and health care worker Nicholas Conley and Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), strongly suggest that the US needs a universal health care system. The most secure solution for many problems in America, such as wasted spending on a flawed non-universal health care system and 46.8 million Americans being uninsured, is to organize a national health care program in the US that covers all citizens for medical necessities.
Obama Care also known as the Affordable Care Act signed in by president Barack Obama in 2010, This was to insure that all the Americans will have free access to medical care if they got sick and it would will help reduce the growth of healthcost spending in the country, hence in economic and stability growth among the citizens of America. Right now in the USA the ObamaCare law is a permanent part of the landscape, The USA republicans said that, despite the high court decision upholding various subsidies, the law itself remains the largest and dangerous threat to health care. Although it has its own benefits, Obamacare is increasing costs for hardworking families. Republicans argue that many people have to pay higher costs or see their former policies canceled. Which is leading to poor economy and increasing of debts and deaths within the country.
When Trump says this he is getting on the side of people who now cannot afford a quality health care plan because they are too
Americans have a past of fleeing their homeland, forging new lands, and taking on the unknown. But, as the world changes, American’s are relying less on themselves to provide for their families and more on the federal government. Because of this, the government has created many social welfare programs, one of which is Medicaid. Medicaid is a government program that provides money to people who are unable to pay for regular medical care (Merriam-Webster). The purpose of the program is to ensure better care, healthier people, and smarter spending (CMS).
Trump wants to change it up. Starting with the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), Trump describes Obamacare as a catastrophe to be repealed or replaced. For that reason he wants to propose a health plan that will give the state authority and also operate under a free market principle. With this plan, Trump wants to follow it, provide choice to the buyer, also allow separate tax relief for health insurance in order to keep plans easy and affordable. As for Social Security and Medicare, he rather support these two topics rather than cutting them.
I was born to a world full of physicians. Almost everyone in my family are physicians, specialized in different areas. I was exposed to hospital settings from at a very young age. I had the opportunity to interact with people and understand their experiences by observing them carefully while waiting my parents to finish work. It was fascinating yet touching having the opportunity to interact with many patients and see their to get well soon.
