Obamacare has also helped women and reproductive care immensely. The ACA requires that mammograms, colonoscopies, prenatal care, and birth control be covered. Prior to the ACA only 12 percent of insurance plans offered maternity coverage and women paid approximately $1 billion more than men each year for the same health plans. Reproductive and prenatal care could become unaffordable for many women with the repeal of Obamacare, and on top of that companies could potentially charge women more for coverage or deny them all together.

The Affordable Care Act requires health insurance providers—including both health insurance companies and companies that administer self-insured employer health plans on behalf of the employer (third party administrators)—to provide certain preventative services to women without cost. 42 U.S.C. § 300gg-13(a)(4) (2015). Congress delegated the task of deciding which kinds of preventative care would be provided to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). In making its determination, HRSA consulted the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which ultimately decided that insurers must provide “coverage without cost sharing” for “[a]ll Food and Drug Administration approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law. It was intended to provide the American people with better health coverage and care. Unfortunately, many people are still not covered due to a lack of information and because they simply cannot afford insurance even at a discounted price. Many feel that there is still a good deal of confusion regarding the ACA which can prevent people, especially women, from getting the coverage and care that they need. Women who are not used to getting medical care, may not know that programs now exist that make health care services free or very inexpensive. The women who are the least informed are the ones who need it the most as they experience high rates of unplanned births and chronic illnesses. It will be financially beneficial for local and state governments to find ways to get this information to women so as to prevent health problems that will cost the government millions of dollars in the long run.

Accommodations, modifications, and limitations are all part of the Affordable Care Act. Employees, employers, and anyone else that has a religious objection can opt out of the contraception coverage. Kathleen Sebelius, former secretary of Health and Human Services says all they are required to do is provide notification to the government or their insurer. This practical concept allows freedom of choice and responsibility. It does not force or control anyone to make a decision to use

One of our nation’s most controversial topics since the year 2009, and still continues to affect our country, is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) also known as Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. The Law was designed to extend coverage to millions of uninsured Americans and protect patients from abuse or discrimination. The Affordable Care Act affects, all Americans, either in a positive or negative way. It is an issue that has come to separated our congress, it has divided the republican and democratic parties, to the point where the Government was shut down.

On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama made an extensive reform to the United States health care industry by signing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as both the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and ObamaCare, into law. This act was enacted with the intent to decrease the cost of healthcare so roughly 46 million uninsured Americans could have access to inexpensive, high quality health insurance coverage (Discover the Network). The two main provisions of this law were the individual mandate and the employer mandate. The individual mandate would require nearly all citizens to obtain private or public health insurance or be forced to pay a fine each month. President Obama repeatedly claimed that this fee was

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010 under the Obama Administration to make health coverage available to more Americans. According to Thomas Berg, a social researcher and law professor at St. Thomas University, It would have brought greater demand for health services. The increased number of health professions needed to provide those services would have motivated a younger generation to pursue a career in the medical field. The act would have raised the standard of living in America. Unfortunately a clause was added to the ACA in August of 2011 that would mandate the coverage of “Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity” be included all insurance policies (Berg). The mandate would not have been enacted until August of 2012, but religious groups came out in opposition immediately when news of the clause was released. The Catholic Church was one of the prominent advocates against the enactment of the mandate as contraceptive and sterilization methods are against their moral teachings. The government was forcing the coverage despite the objections of those wishing to practice their conservative faiths freely. The mandate stands as an intrusion of religious liberties and an attack on personal values.

The law states that every American citizen is mandated to purchase health insurance. “If you choose not to obtain Health Insurance by January 2014, you will be penalized $95, or 1% of your income-whichever is greater” (Taylor 5). “The penalty rate for non-compliance will

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) was signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. While the act is directed at addressing one of the country's most pressing problems, it generated much controversy as a consequence of the ethical dilemmas that it brings on. The act provides individuals with a wider range of choices and control over their health coverage. It provides a series of benefits such as people getting lower costs on coverage, several important health benefits being covered in the Marketplace, more help in local areas, and pre-existing conditions being covered. However, it also involves a legislation claiming that most people have to have health coverage by 2014, with those who do not have it having to pay a fee.

The refusal of some health insurers to include contraceptives as a part of an insurance plan for women is one of the most contentious disagreements in the health insurance industry. Insurance plans today cover a variety of prescription drugs, however some still do not approve of prescription contraceptive drugs and devices. More than half of U.S. states insurance policies require that other prescription drugs along with the FDA approved contraceptive drugs and devices be included on their health care plans, as well as any related medical services. These services entitle, annual visits for womens recommended preventive care and services. Although depending on individual state policies, some states allow employers or insurers to refuse

Currently, under the Obama Administration, the Affordable Care Act and “Obamacare” have been created.

The government should not be able to force businesses, and therefore the American people, to pay for birth control via health insurance because it

Linguistics is the scientific study of the language and semantics is a branch of linguistics that deals with meanings, meaning of words alone and words in phrases. It focuses on the relation between signifiers, like words, phrases, signs, and symbols, and what they stand for, their denotation. The word semantics came from the Greek word Semantikos which means to show or give sign. Semantics refers to the meaning and interpretation of words, signs in language without context, it may refer to the whole text or one single word. For example, “residence” and “house” “destination” and last stop basically mean the same things, but the study of semantics distinguishes the refined difference between the two.

Mining is an important activity, as it extracts the source of most objects, tools and items that are used in many ways in society. There are drawbacks, however, as it brings environmental and social impacts, like pollution of the waterways, change in the landscape and the concentration of labour force. In Waihi, the mining plays an important role in sustaining the economy of the city, but it also brings problems that have to be managed by the Newmont Gold Company. The focus of the field trip is to locate the potential environmental issues that may be linked to mining by using a natural and physical resource inventory of the Waikato Region and Bay of Plenty.
