When it comes to health care I think it should be available to everyone. Free insurance would be nice, sure, for everyone who is working, going to school, raising their family, or has served in the military, but that isn't possible. If free isn't possible, can it at least be afforadable? Even with the Affordable Care Act the insurance isn't affordable and people are still getting turned down for "making too much money." A single parent, working full time, with one child can't even get covered by the Affordable Care Act...how does that help the average working American? If we could all have insurance it would help with preventative care, and with that make the citizens of this country healthier and prevent the spreading of dieases. Some people are sick and don't have health care so their options are to not be treated, get worse, and possibly die..or see a doctor and accumulate so much debt that they can't pay back. On the same note, what if someone doesn't believe in hospitals, and doesn't go to see doctors or take any medications...why are they penelized for it? Insurance seems like a lose-lose with the Afforadable Care Act. They make insurance unafforadable and required which is not right.

    In conclusion, I strongly feel healthcare is a right and affordable insurance should be provided to everyone. There is such gluttony in the world today that we forget as healthcare individuals, our first responsibilities is to help people, and the few cents we are paying for the uninsured will guarantee medical care to those who can’t afford it, we never know, one day we could be one of those individuals in need of insurance due to unforeseen…

    Everyone has their own opinion as to what the health care should be like and who the health care should be for, for example, there are so many people who are out there in this world who needs social security but over the years of abuse by people who takes advantage of it, it has became so hard to get for the people who really needs it. Medicaid is another example of health insurance that has become strict to where it is hard to get. You have to be pregnant, labeled as physical disabled, and over the age of 65, which is retirement age. I think that it is harsh for people who would really qualify for it having to fight so hard for it. No one has come up with a solution but some have come up with a logical way to control certain things in health care.…

    health reform

    Today there are many Americans without health insurance. This is due to the lack of financial resources they have to pay for the insurance , perhaps due to the unemployment rate and also due to those (younger generation) who choose to opt out of paying for health insurance. Many Americans live day to day hoping they will not get sick. From the results of these rates, President Obama signed the US Health Care Reform into law. The health care reform law encases benefits such as affordability, accessibility, comfort and ease for low income families worrying about going broke if they get sick, health care cost will be capped, and insurance companies will not be able to deny applicants due to pre-existing conditions. Accessibility simply means that insurers would have to expand insurance coverage to all Americans. This means eliminating pre-existing conditions that prevented people from gaining insurance coverage, insuring portability across states, mandating the purchase of insurance coverage, standardizing claims to reduce paperwork and providing benefits and cost information to American people allowing them an opportunity to choose a plan that best fit their needs (Shortell, 2009) Affordability has left uninsured and low income families helpless due to high premiums. The public option is an idea that hopes to establish competition that will drive down insurance premium costs between private insurers (Shortell, 2009). Those who are uninsured or low in income would have their premiums subsidized up to 400% (Shortell, 2009). Employers with more than 50 employees will be forced to provide coverage for all, or they will have to pay fines. It will make health insurers more responsible. For example, health insurance carriers are forbidden from placing lifetime dollar limits on policies, from denying coverage to children because of pre-existing conditions, and from cancelling policies because someone gets sick. It will expand health coverage to all…

Its funds come directly from federal governments and beneficiaries. Medicare revenues come from interest, taxation of social security benefits, state payments, payroll taxes, beneficiary premiums and general revenue.
