Recommended: Negative impacts of Obamacare

President Donald Trump was inaugurated January 20th, 2017. From the time he was compaigning to just a few days ago, he has had a flimsy relationship with the people of the United States. It is impossible to meet this man in the middle, you love him or hate him. Trump is pro-life, pro-guns, and a “successful” businessman. Some medias portray him has a decent human being, while others, such as the NY Times, ABC News, and CNN, portray him for who he is. These news stations have been labeled “fake news” by this man, although they are all reputable news sites who work for the people and do not want to idolize a pitiful excuse of a president. Although this man is making many mistakes, healthcare being one of them, he is making some improvements while …show more content…

A recent action taken by President Trump that has occurred in the past month is expected to be an extremely detrimental one. Trump and his cronies have successfully repealed Obamacare and are in the works to implement their new healthcare plan. The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was enacted in 2010. It expanded medicaid to more adults, improved medicare to seniors, expanded employer coverage, and required most people to have healthcare at all times, which saved lives. Some differences between Obamacare and Trump’s healthcare, Trumpcare, are drastic. Obamacare required all eligible citizens to have health insurance. This made coverage more affordable nationwide. With Trumpcare, the coverage is still a requirement but now if you fail to keep up with the coverage, you will pay more monthly. This is obviously a good thing for the rich, but yet again is detrimental to the middle class(the same middle class Trump promised to look after). Under Trumpcare, states can decide if insurance carriers can charge people with pre-existing conditions more for healthcare. This is good news for known Republican states, like Texas, because they will gain …show more content…

This action is expected to ensure that the great veterans of the country will never be mistreated. With this creation, anyone who fails to properly care for the veterans will be held accountable and those who do treat them to the best of their extent will be rewarded. There are many statistics that state when people are rewarded for the good things they do, they will keep doing it. That is like how when a puppy is trained, people give them a doggy treat when they do something good. This action is so far expected to do good for all the veterans who have been denied optimal care and those who have been mistreated by the VA. The VA is often overlooked and people don’t care enough for those who defended and served the United States in tough times. No new huring will take place in the VA, workers will only be fired or reassigned elsewhere. The VA’s secretary, David Shulkin, said the purpose of the office will be to help identify and remove that barriers that make it hard to fire employees who are considered unfit to help care for Veterans. The firing of all these employees, without replacing them, will require a "substantial commitment." David Shulkin also said, “...what I want to get done, which is to be able to, once we identify people that need to leave the organization, to get them out quickly. So I do need

  • The Veterans Are Coming By Edward Palm Summary

    1320 Words  | 3 Pages

    Palm’s biggest fault in his argument is the use of the fallacy generalization. When explaining the five steps in how veterans should be treated, he explains it as though it should be applied to every single veteran in existence. It should be noted that using this fallacy makes sense, because to the audience Palm seems to know what he is talking about when he explaining how veterans should be treated, what they do and do not like about others’ interactions with them and so on. Therefore, it would make sense that he states to “generally” treat all veterans the same. However, because he does so, Palm sometimes fails to address or even acknowledge that not every veteran is the same. It is very possible that there are some veterans who do not mind being thanked for their service by strangers. There may very well be veterans who do not mind answering people’s questions. For some, being thanked or answering questions may even help them to know that there are people who care and appreciate their service. Examples in which he uses this fallacy include but are not limited

    I can only stress the importance of this topic so much. I can keep going on about how important it is to do something, but that won’t get us the change we need. We need society, the government, and especially the Department of Veteran affairs to work together. This will be an issue that will be going and going for years to come. But I do believe that there is something that can be done to improve this issue.

  • The Pros and Cons of Obamacare

    1705 Words  | 4 Pages

    The topic that I am choosing to do is on Obama Care. I chose this topic because the idea of the government forcing people to obtain insurance is wrong in my eyes. I am interested in analyzing the validity for what has been said about this topic in order to increase my understanding about Obama Care. I am not an expert when it comes to Obama Care. I know that this is an insurance that is being provided through the government for the general public. I have read that President Obama never initially read the whole bill itself. I also know that people who cannot afford it, but make too much money to qualify for Medicaid are being heavily encouraged to get this insurance. Some of the common knowledge that I have found that the general public has about this subject is that some people are for Obama Care and think that it is a wonderful idea and that there are some people that are dead set against Obama Care. Younger adults, specifically college age and individuals that are in their twenties tend to be for Obama Care. The insurance is being forced upon individuals that may or may not want it. It also seems as though that the insurance being offered is pretty generic in terms of coverage. Some of the questions that I have that I believe will aide me in writing this paper would be the following: What are the pros and cons of Obama Care? What are the thoughts of Obama Care with the people of the government? As well as what are the basics of Obama Care?

  • Benefits Of Veterans Support

    1712 Words  | 4 Pages

    It was once assumed that the government would provide services for veterans, but nonprofit organizations and communities have been picking up the slack to help veterans get back on their feet after returning home. The government is dependent on nonprofit organizations to supply veterans and their families with the necessary goods and services. The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is an organization that provides services for veterans and their families. The WWP focuses on mind, body, economic empowerment, and engagement, all things that help veterans through post-war symptoms (The Wounded Warrior Project). The government is recommending giving less housing allowances, limiting pay raises, and having higher fees for health care benefits; other cuts would include stores being unable to give discounts to military families (Nissenbaum and Barnes). The amount of money veterans receive for housing, health care, and retirement is being cut left and right by the government and the money is being used and put towards other departments. In California, The County Veterans Service Officers Inc. plays a very important role in verterans’ lives (California Association of County Veterans Service Officers, Inc.) Many organizations help veterans who are in need of services because our government is not always able to provide...

  • Care Of Veterans Essay

    1162 Words  | 3 Pages

    Steve Buyer, a member of the house of representatives from Indiana’s fourth district, once said, “Because all of us believe and understand in the fabric of the common bond of why we call ourselves American is to care for the men and women who wear the uniform; and when they take off the uniform, we care for them when they are veterans.” After men or women finish their time serving our country, and they take off their uniform, it does not rid the title of Veteran from them. They are still the brave ones who fought and served for America. The care for the Veterans of America is a crucial part in giving back to those who risked their lives for our country. Veterans need to be taken care of medically, mentally, and financially more as promised by President Obama. “It's a commitment that begins at enlistment, and it must never end. But we know that for too long, we've fallen short of meeting that commitment. Too many wounded warriors go without the care that they need. Too many veterans don't receive the support that they've earned. Too many who once wore our nation's uniform now sleep in our nation's streets."

  • Healthcare For All Veterans

    1844 Words  | 4 Pages

    One of the most serious problems facing all veterans today is the lack of proper healthcare. Soldiers, sailors and airmen are leaving active duty without having proper healthcare to cover their physical or mental injuries. The department responsible for veteran’s healthcare is the Department of Veterans Affairs. (VA) According to The department of Veterans Affairs website, “The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a government-run military veteran benefit system with Cabinet-level status. It is responsible for administering programs of veterans’ benefits for veterans, their families, and survivors. The benefits provided include disability compensation, pension, education, home loans, life insurance, vocational rehabilitation, survivors’ benefits, medical benefits and burial benefits. It is administered by the United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs.” The VA, who was formerly called the Veterans Administration, was established 21 July 1930, to consolidate and coordinate government activities affecting war veterans. The VA encompassed the functions of the former U.S. Veterans' Bureau, the Bureau of Pensions of the Interior Department and the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. On 25 October 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation creating a new federal Cabinet-level Department of Veterans Affairs to replace the Veterans Administration effective 15 March 1989 (V.A.)

    Obamacare has been very detrimental to the national economy. People just don't like paying taxes. PERIOD! WIth obama's health care system it forces everyone to have insurance and who pays for it? Tax payers. Instead of putting it into the betterment of society like infrastructure or education it goes to old people who don't deserve it or the poor.

  • Pros And Cons To Repeal Obamacare

    623 Words  | 2 Pages

    Then president Trump took to twitter in announcing some optimism that the bill could be kept alive, and his disapproval over John McCain saying no. Not only are doctors, hospitals and health plans coming together to keep this act alive but on the other side conservative donors are coming in to make sure it's destroyed. They warned republicans that their contributions would disappear if the government didn't change the tax code or repeal Obamacare. The bill some say looks to be designed to fail, for many states would lose money rather than gain money. Legislation would set a limit on how much federal support states would receive, while the healthcare cost is rising more quickly than this limit. If this bill does happen to go through it could weaken the benefits and the protections of the consumers, allowing insurers to charge more money to sick people and take away basic guarantees such as maternity leave. Also getting rid of federal tax credits that make health insurance more affordable to low income families, the repeal would send the money to the states

  • The VA Health Care System

    1085 Words  | 3 Pages

    In 1636 the “Pilgrims passed a law which stated that disabled soliders would be supported by the colony.” (VA History) This paved the way for veterans’ benefits and healthcare. It wasn’t until 1811 that the federal government authorized the first medical and domiciliary facilities along with benefits and pensions for the veterans and their families. When the United States entered World War 1 in 1917, Congress created a new system for veterans’ benefits such as disability compensation, insurance, vocational rehabilitation. These benefits were directed by three different agencies in the Federal Government, these branches were the Veterans Bureau, the Bureau of Pensions of the Interior Department, and the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. Ten years later congress authorized the president to “consolidate and coordinate Government activities affecting war veterans”; this action united the three component agencies into bureaus under the veterans’ administration. In the following six decades there were vast increases in the veteran population, and new benefits enacted by congress for veterans following Wo...

  • Obamacare: The Future Of Healthcare

    841 Words  | 2 Pages

    My first reason for supporting Obamacare is that there are now more consumer rights and protections for patients. Before Obamacare, patients could get taken advantage by insurance companies. If a child that had a condition like asthma or diabetes insurance companies turned them down. Under the new healthcare law, no American can be denied by an insurance company due to an illness or injury. Today there are approximately 17.6 million American children that have a pre existing health condition. Now they can all be covered and many lives could be saved (“Healthcare”). It is amazing that every American can get healthcare now, but what is the point if we do not know how to use it. Many Americans are clueless when it comes to healthcare. Obamacare will change that. If a state applies for the new healthcare law, they can establish offices to help consumers become more educated about healthcare. Healthcare is a wonderful thing to have for you and your family, but it will go to waste assuming we do not understand it. In fact with the new law, insurance companies must put their information online allowing consumers to compare the prices of different companies side by side. Obamacare provides you with all the information you need to become more educated about healthcare (“Features of Healthcare”).
