America's favorite past time
Nicholas Saviano All hail big government, provider of all.

For my assignment I would like to go over why the newly formed Affordable healthcare bill is both inversely named and unconstitutional. When I say inversely, I mean that the healthcare bill is anything but affordable, and I mean to prove my statements with some basic economics even a five year old could comprehend but seem to elude the grasp of the vary masterminds that spirited this bill though our system.

First I would like to explain why this bill should never have been implemented in the first place; there are many complex examples so I will only go over a select few. First point, the court majority stated that the bill could only be up held through the congress’s power to tax. This goes completely against Obama’s original theory that he repeated over, and over again to the public that the new healthcare bill was not a tax. It is not within congress’s power to require Americans, as a requirement to live in this country, to acquire a commodity, including health insurance.

Now make a mental note, Obamacare could only be upheld as a tax. Not saying it would be a legitimate tax but let’s entertain the notion. To be a lawful tax, Obamacare would have to follow all the constitution’s conditions for the imposition of taxes. Because Democrats bull headedly maintained that their independent achievement was not a tax, its legality as a tax has not been inspected. Ironically, because the affordable healthcare ratification was induced by fraud, “a massive plan to confiscate wealth, masquerading as ordinary legislation so the liberal party could pretend that the bill was indeed, not raising taxes” we can prove its illegitimacy. The chief justice attempted to rebrand the bill thus contributed to the fraud. We now know that Obamacare is a tax. Therefore, it was unquestionably a bill for raising revenue. This is but one

    The Obama healthcare plan has raised a lot of eyebrows especially those of lobbyist and this is what they had to say about his healthcare plan. Will Newton, executive director of the National Federation of Independent Business/Texas stated, His organization supported the court’s opinion, but his team of lobbyist is headed to try and get Congress to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and exchange it with something more affordable. (Newton, 2012). He goes on to say how the act never mentioned anything about the cost, members of his organization confirmed that prices had indeed increased and had risen over 110 percent in the last decade. Small and large business owners want to drop employees’ healthcare benefits, due to the fact that…

    The Supreme Court ruled on June 28, 2012 that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 also known as the ObamaCare Act is to be upheld, even the controversial parts, where people without health insurance will have to pay a fine starting in 2014. The ObamaCare Act was started to “help reduce overall health care costs by making services available to 32 million who currently cannot get health insurance”(useconomy.about.com, part of the New York Times Company Amadeo, 2012). The Act will make it so insurance companies cannot disqualify a person from receiving health insurance because of a pre-existing condition, and will also make sure that insurance companies do not drop someone because they are sick. Large companies with more than 50 employees will have to offer health insurance, but they will receive tax credits. “The Act will lower the budget deficit by $143 billion over the next ten year by raising some taxes and shifting more cost burdens”( Source: CBO CBO Report on Health Care Reform and the Budget; Wall Street Journal, What Health Insurance Ruling Means, June 28, 2012; NPR, Medicaid Expansion, June 27, 2012, useconomy.about.com, part of the New York Times Company Amadeo, 2012). Starting on January 1 2014 everyone in the United States is supposed to have health insurance. The hope is that if everyone has health insurance, the healthy people are going to equal out the unhealthy people and so insurance should not be too high of cost, or too expensive, but people are afraid that is not what is going to happen. If a person does not qualify for Medicaid or does not purchase health insurance by January 1, 2014 they will have to pay $95 (or 1% of their income whichever is higher), in 2015 people without insurance will have to pay a penalty of $325 (or 2% of income) and in 2016 they will pay $695 (or 2.5% of income). About 4 million people will end up paying the penalty instead of purchasing health…

    At this point I think that the Healthcare reform is something that is needed and Obamacare is trying its best to improve. There is a major need for Healthcare reform. Thousands of people die in America each year because of the lack of health insurance. Many people without health insurance die when they could have had a chance to live if they had insurance. The problem is that health insurance is too expensive. Not for those who can afford it but for those who cannot. It has to be horrible to catch the flu and have to suffer because you fear debt from a trip to the emergency room. Obama’s plan is vital to the advancement of healthcare. Private insurance is rising constantly and Universal healthcare in America will add more competition to the market, it will be beneficial for everyone and we know that it has already worked in other countries.…

    America is about to make major changes in the country’s health care system. The goal of the Affordable Care Act is reduction of the number of uninsured individuals and health care expenses. Some call the reform unconstitutional, some fear inefficient implementation will lead to the opposite of the anticipated health care cost reduction. According to Kaiser Health Tracking Poll 29% of Americans have very unfavorable opinion of the health reform law compared to only 18% with very favorable attitude (See Health Data, 2010-2011).…

    Controversy always surrounds change. Healthcare is this kind of controversial topic where people refuse to accept changes, even though changes must be made. Obamacare details many changes, how they will be made, and whom they will affect. As with any bill, there are pros and cons that exist as the bill helps many, but makes some a little worse off. Taking into account the pros that include the minimum benefits package and expansion of Medicare coverage as well as the cons that include rising costs to government and a shortage of doctors, I would vote against the bill.…

    The Affordable Health Care Act is a very in-depth process. The changes to the health care system were attempted to be passed in prior years by Bill Clinton. However, it failed at this time and was implemented in the United States by the current president Barack Obama. The Congress diversity of Democrats vs. Republican’s was very similar in both Clintons and Obamas time in office. There were many steps that were taken in creating this policy, and some of those steps succeeded, and some of those steps failed. Any new process would be expected to have some issues to work through as it was created. The Affordable Health Care Act still has some issues to work on, but many steps succeeded and that is why it has been implemented during Obamas term.…

    There are two main topics when it come to health care reform, coverage and cost control. Both sides of the debate recognize these as the eventual goal but both sides have different opinions on the procedure to achieving this goal. The current health care reform bill includes a very controversial provision know as the individual mandate which some believe is a necessary tool that will bring more health care to more people. Others who oppose it say that it will only exacerbate the current problem of over utilization of third party payers and will cause prices to rise further. The bill that was passed on March 23 was scored by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) as a deficit reducing bill and many proponents of the bill point to this an claim that a government run system will be more efficient. However, the CBO report is widely debated for misleading information and it does not include the reconciliation bill (HR 4872) signed into law on March 30, 2010 that amends HR 3590. The entire debate can be summed up into two main groups, those who think that the government can run health care and those who believe that the free market can run healthcare.…

    Investor’s Business Daily is a United States newspaper that was founded in 1984. It provides the latest news about business, finance, and the economy. The author of this newspaper article believes it is impossible to fix ObamaCare. They point out all of the flaws in the reform and suggest that trying to fix the problems would only lead to more, and possibly bigger, problems. The author agrees with everything ObamaCare is trying to accomplish, but they believe the only way to actually accomplish those goals is to adopt a market-based form of healthcare. This article is an argument against the Affordable Care Act. It could potentially be useful for future essays and assist me in taking a position on this issue.…

    Obamacare was signed into law on March 23, 2010 by President Barack Obama. The ACA was designed to offer healthcare to all groups of American citizens, mainly to the upwards of 30 million uninsured Americans. Although there were several reasons this reform was necessary there were a few main reasons that seem to stand out. Being able to offer health insurance to those that suffered from pre-existing conditions as well as not put limitations on the amount of coverage these Americans could actually maintain and keep. It wasn’t unheard of to be capped to a certain amount of coverage once a patient became sick. The US Census Bureau (2011) estimated there to be somewhere around 49 million uninsured Americans in 2010, so this reform would cut down on that number…

    The Affordable Care Act (2009) and the Health Security Act (1993) were two attempts made to reform the U.S. healthcare system. In 1993 the Clinton administration fought to better the system and provide comprehensible healthcare coverage to its citizens. This bill however was shot down in the legislative system and never made it into law. Then in 2010 the Obama administration squeezed their updated version of the bill through the House and Senate in a very narrow, partisan victory. The reasoning behind why the Clinton’s attempt didn’t get passed came down to two reasons. First it was highly criticized and opposed politically. Secondly it was a matter of concerns about the actual content of the bill.…

    The U.S. Appeals Court in Atlanta has already deemed the passing of this act as unconstitutional (Brent, 2011). It is a contested issue on which the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in the coming weeks. Another appeals court in Virginia has stated that legally, this matter should be revisited when taxpayers are made to pay penalties, in the next three years (Savage, 2011). This brings into question the constitutionality of this act and the fact remains that there is far from universal agreement over this. An important argument raised by opponents is that the passing of this law would open way for unrestricted powers to the Federal government. It is argued that this mandate would be structured like a tax, hence making it legitimate for the Federal government to impose on us. Furthermore, that health insurance is a type of interstate commerce, is another argument cited by the law’s proponents ("Obamacare" 2010). However, this would set a landmark precedent which may become a threat to the liberties we cherish in this nation.…
