After months of substantial and aggressive deliberation around the United States, particularly in Washington, the HealthCare Reform of 2010 also known as the Affordable Care Act, was passed with a filibuster favorable to Democrats and signed into office on March 23rd by President Barrack Obama. Though it is intricately detailed, the ideal purposes as promised by those who promoted it are to provide inexpensive and uncomplicated health insurance to citizens along with enhanced coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, beneficial prescription drug provisions and changes to tax credits. Essentially, the law incorporates the positive aspects of today’s health care system and repairs the areas due for improvements. Over the first ten

Recently, there have been various issues being debated in the American healthcare system. While many of these issues have been debated amongst for many years, they have recently been debated and focused on more heavily due to the change of Presidents. One of the most leading problems that is being debated right now is the cost of health insurance. Originally, the Affordable Healthcare Act was supposed to make healthcare insurance affordable and more attainable. A few years after the Affordable Healthcare Act was implemented; it became evident that it was a failure for the most part. In a vast majority of cases, it failed many Americans.

The United States of America is the most prosperous and free country in the world because of hard working citizens and the God-given freedoms we possess. America has contributed countless scientific and medical discoveries and accomplished feats deemed impossible by others. The wealth and progress in this country was not brought about by government intervention and supervision, but from individuals who had the freedom to do what they did best. Because of this freedom, America’s healthcare is currently unmatched anywhere in the world. Though other countries may tout free healthcare, they make it up with burdening taxes, understaffed hospitals, and incredibly long wait periods. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act puts America’s healthcare system in jeopardy of falling into the same trap. “Obamacare”, as it is referred to, moves America to a bureaucratized and overburdened system having far reaching consequences on taxpayers, professionals, and patients and should be repealed.

The Affordable Health Care Act is primarily aimed at reducing the number of uninsured Americans and reducing the overall costs of health care from an administrative and consumer standpoint. The PPACA requires insurance companies to cover all applicants and offer the same rates to all applicants of the same age

In March of 2010, President Barack Obama signed into effect the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or widely known as “Obamacare.” The changes that the act is making with all of health care will slowly be implemented throughout the years, and should be completed by 2022 (Obamacare Facts: Dispelling the Myths). In the Affordable Care Act it changes or alters almost all programs that we have today and creates new programs to assist people and properly state what type if care is expected and required of health care professionals.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a federal statute that was signed into law in America by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. It is divided into 10 titles.

The Affordable Care Act was signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. The Affordable Care Act also nicknamed as “ObamaCare” faced huge amounts of adversity and challenges on its way to being ratified and upheld by the Supreme Court. Some of these arguments highlight the disadvantages of free social services, the escalating federal deficit, and the altering the healthcare industry’s landscape completely. Healthcare is generally defined as providing for the wellbeing of a personal through medical services. In America, all services come with a price, and healthcare has become an industry that is nearly only about the money and less about the patient. Needless to say, the quality of care that a patient receives is almost

On 3/23/2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law, one of the most difficult reforms of the United States medical system in the last forty four years.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act offers many healthcare benefits to a diverse group of American citizens. However, there are a few downsides as well. The major portions of the act deal with four primary issues:

History was made as the President of the United States signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law on March 23, 2010. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) delivers access to quality, affordable health care to all Americans. The breakthrough legislation, passed in March of 2010, represents the most significant government expansion and regulatory overhaul of the country’s healthcare system since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965 (Dix, 2013). The PPACA promises to reduce health disparities, improve access to preventative services, improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare spending. As stated by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the PPACA will provide coverage to more than 94 percent of

The Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (PPACA), enacted by Congress in 2010, ensures all Americans are entitled to “basic” healthcare security (Shaw, Asomugha, Conway & Rein, 2014). The policy aims to address several challenges in healthcare including poor access to health care, rising cost of health care services, and to improve overall quality of healthcare. However, due to the increasing demands of the growing patient population, and limited resources available, the possibility of healthcare rationing in the post- PPACA is bought to attention as well as ethical dilemmas that may arise. The leadership case analysis will explore the impact of new provisions to the healthcare policy, as well as disadvantages and advantages of rationing related to the growing patient population. In addition, implications from a leadership perspective and an economic analysis on a microeconomic and macroeconomic level are discussed.

A current important issue in healthcare is the addition of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). This program is for families and individuals with limited resources and low income. This program ensures that individuals who fall under these categories are able to have medical and financial benefits (Martin, 2015). The Affordable Care Act is a program that has expanded the eligibility for more citizens to receive benefits under Medicaid. Citizens that fall under the poverty line now qualify for coverage in all states that have a Medicaid program. In the United States, Medicaid and ACA is the largest source of funding of medical services for people with low income (Martin, 2015). This act was predominately passed to help

Signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), or Affordable Care Act (ACA), ushered in a new era in the way Americans get their medical care (coverage). Guaranteeing new consumer protections and creating insurance exchanges to facilitate greater access and affordability by reducing premiums and costs for tens of millions of Americans. When passed, the ACA allowed for states to expand access to Medicaid to those previously ineligible, including some people above the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), and in its five years since passage the law has faced challenges to its component pieces, its legality, and constitutionality all together. A Supreme Court decision in 2012 ruled a key element of the ACA, the expansion of Medicaid, to be optional for the states. From that decision, 24 states and the District of Columbia have chosen the expansion option and seen success, while opposition in other states has led to efforts to block expansion, invoking a sophistic response where those living above the FPL receive federal subsidies and the most in need are left without coverage. The success of the ACA in non-expansion states – Georgia, in particular, here - depends on the state governance to make available the expansion of Medicaid for the population of their states, including opening doors for patient navigators to reach into local communities and raise awareness.
