So until the Federal government takes it away states will take advantage of gaining extra money from taxes being paid from those who don’t invest into getting health insurance. People shouldn’t be forced to buy health insurance. Especially if people cannot afford it, those who do not have health insurance are putting the U.S. in debt because of not being capable of affording their medical bills. Health insurance debt is the number one debts in the U.S. Families that have health insurance don't have to worry about these costs, because their insurance plans pay for most of these costs.
First the pro side, the first main issue is the fact that the 32 million Americans that don’t have health care will now have access to health care coverage. Many Americans can’t afford health care coverage and this policy lowers the cost so that more Americans will have the opportunity to get the coverage they need. Another pro is that people with preexisting conditions can no longer be denied coverage. Insurance companies have been getting away with denying people the coverage they need because they either get sick or because they have a preexisting condition and this policy puts an end to all of that. Lastly, the amount of personal bankruptcies will be reduced.
An increasing number of Americans have opted not to take advantage of job-based health insurance because they just can’t afford it. I believe that every citizen should have adequate health coverage whether it is Universal Healthcare or National Health Insurance. If the large insurance premiums are no longer a factor and employers can increase salaries for everyone in this country, we would all be able to afford the coverage that should be a right for us. It could be a flat fee based on your family situation or just so much of your tax dollars goes towards a national insurance fund. A major argument against a nationalized health care system is that it will be inefficient.
Individuals that can afford health care will unfortunately have to pay more to cover those that can’t. The 30 plus million Americans that currently have their own insurance plans, are now facing the unnecessary hardship of receiving cancellation notices due to their plans not meeting the “Obama Care” requirements. Which goes against the initial promise stated by President Obama “if you like your current plan, you could keep it”. As stated before, the money to cover health care cost has to come from someone, who? There’s no magic formula to solving the health care predicament facing a good percentage of Americans.
Health epidemics forced early America to gravel with the question of the government’s role in the nation's health. The issues similar to today were based on who should be responsible for paying for preventive care, also should everyone get equal access, and if the financial responsibility for care should rest on the individual, state, or the
S.B. Tyler English 1020-059 5 April 2011 The Cost of Health care and the People Who Need It It is beneficial economically for the United States to support the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The United States spends approximately $2 trillion on health care cost and over 40 million Americans do not have health insurance. If the Health care Reform bill passes, not only will all of the United States citizens have health care but the deficit will decrease a great amount. Health care reform has been a major issue in the United States for centuries.
American National Government Obamacare Tracy Harris The Obama care Reformation is one of the leading controversial subject matters In the United States. The signing of the medical bill by Barrack Obama has influences and has been the topic of much controversy among employers everywhere. The position of Health care among employers strategic position as if pertain to health care insurance and premium and has many organization rethinking and going back to the table to reevaluate their health insurance plans that effect their employees (Patterson, T. (2012, July 27). The greatest fear of the Obama care is that people may lose their rights to choose their own personal physician. In the health care systems the patients relies on the system for the proper treatment, care and medicine in the long
c. If you wanted to change coverage and services, what would you change if you could and how would you change it? A. The list of the U.S. healthcare subsystems of health insurance are Managed Care, Military, Subsystems for Special Population, Integrated Delivery, Long Term Care Delivery, and Public Health Systems. I would say the majority of my family would be Subsystems for Special Population. B. I like that the government gives the people that can’t afford much something and I dislike that at 18 they will cut you off.
Under the PPACA, every U.S. citizen will have access to basic, affordable health coverage. This will alleviate hospitals and providers having to eat up so much additional cost. This will lower the cost of care significantly! The PPACA plans to lower the cost of care in many different ways. Keep in mind the healthcare system has become insurance company dominated, with only two insurance companies dominating a full two-thirds of the market (Langston, 2006).
This mass expansion of health care in America must have an effect on utilization, but this effect is not yet known and is subject to vast speculation and controversy. Many people fear that the system will become overloaded and that Americans will be forced to get on waiting lists for care or perhaps deal with providers that are chosen for them. Due to the fact that the reforms force Americans that can afford health care to buy in, however, there will likely be less people cramming emergency rooms seeking free care. Perhaps the most important change in utilization forecast is the shift from treatment of disease to preventative care. The reforms and expansion of health insurance and specials provisions relating to preventative care are designed to get Americans to think about preventing disease before it happens.
