Recommended: The life of a college student

The Morning Tuesday morning is the busiest time in my week. As I wake up thirty minutes before the class begins, time always forces me to prepare for the class quickly. Actually I want to eat breakfast with a cup of coffee but I do not have time to do so. I regret that I stayed up late last night. Tuesday is a day that I have to wake up early because I am taking a class at nine thirty. At nine o?clock, the cell phone, clock radio, and TV wake me up at once. On the radio, NPR news is on the air but I turn it off quickly. From the TV, ESPN broadcasts the results of yesterday?s sports. Even though I like sports, I am so sleepy that I cannot pay attention to result and switch the TV set off. Finally, the cell phone wakes me up but I can not get out of my bed right away. I have a doze at most five minutes. While I am fighting against sleepiness, I get up from my bed and head to the kitchen to get coffee. My room is small and typical man?s room somewhat messed up. As I kick stuff on the floor such as shoes, I get to the door. Right after I open my room?s door, I smell the air freshener which is sitting in the living room and it makes me sick. In addition, the hallway is colder than my room. Therefore, I am shaking with cold. Class begins at nine thirty. Time is running out so I cannot waste time and I have to do everything deliberately. I set a coffee filter, coffee, and water on my coffee maker. On the package of ground coffee, the world famous trademark of STARBUCKS ...

  • Obamacare: The Affordable Care Act

    1259 Words  | 3 Pages

    Health insurance, too many American citizens, is not an option. However, some citizens find it unnecessary. Working in the health care field, I witness the effects of uninsured patients on medical offices. Too often, I see a “self-pay” patient receive care from their doctor and then fail to pay for it. Altogether, their refusal to pay leaves the office at a loss of money and calls for patients to pay extra in covering for the cost of the care the uninsured patient received. One office visit does not seem like too big of an expense, but multiple patients failing to pay for the care they receive adds up. Imagine the hospital bills that patients fail to pay; health services in a hospital are double, sometimes triple, in price at a hospital. It is unfair that paying patients are responsible for covering these unpaid services. Luckily, the Affordable Care Act was passed on March 23, 2010, otherwise known as Obamacare. Obamacare is necessary in America because it calls for all citizens to be health insured, no worrying about pre-existing conditions, and free benefits for men and women’s health.

  • Health Care Controversy

    Politico discusses, ObamaCare differs from the previous health coverage in many ways. First, ObamaCare now accepts any American no matter if they have a pre-existing condition. Before ObamaCare if a Citizen did have a pre-existing condition, health insurance companies would either reject the person or increase the price of their health coverage extensively. ObamaCare makes it possible to provide affordable health insurance to those with pre-existing conditions. Second, ObamaCare has new coverage rules for applying. A citizen can only apply for Health coverage under ObamaCare during an “Open Enrollment Period”. The Enrollment Periods usually last about a month but if you miss that period you will have to wait 6 months before the next enrollment period...

    In 2010 President Barack Obama signed into law the Affordable Care Act. It was created to reform the healthcare policies in the United States. Gable (2011) states that the range of ACA provisions designed to expand insurance coverage, control costs, and target prevention has the potential to improve population-level outcomes across all income groups. He further states that by establishing a legal infrastructure that seeks to achieve universal health insurance coverage in the United States, that the ACA targets some of the major barriers to accessing healthcare for millions of Americans (Gable, 2011). One of the major components of the Affordable Care Act is health insurance being available to all U.S. citizens. The Affordable Care Act (2010) states that for Americans who have insurance that they like, they can continue to carry their current insurance but for those who are uninsured they will be able to choose insurance cover...

    Obamacare is a healthcare program developed in the United States and introduced to Congress in September of 2009 with a goal of creating affordable health insurance for all or most Americans. One of the main points was to reduce health care spending within the United States and expand the availability of private and public health insurance. Although it does not control individuals’ health care, it offers numerous protections for American citizens, some of which include; permitting adults to stay covered on their health insurance plans until the age of twenty-six, prevent insurance agencies from misconduct and releasing clients who are ill, as well as doing away with limits which include annual and lifetime options (Obamacare Facts). In addition to requiring insurance companies to cover people with preexisting illnesses it also provides essential health benefits such as the right to emergency care, hospitalization, counseling and screenings for potential illnesses (Obamacare Facts).

  • Obamacare Pros And Cons Essay

    506 Words  | 2 Pages

    Our country is struggling the way we are and Obamacare has helped a few but mainly done more harm than help. Many countries just make it mandatory and provide healthcare for all, without an extra cost. Our country is a money-based system, but as leaders they must realise our health is not the way to make money, even though everyone today believes it is. It has been said that they will follow free market ideas and create new public policies to widen health care access to make it affordable around the country. Obamacare was supposed to help many people, it was supposed to help those without. My family tried to get on this system two years ago, but since I, an 18 year old student, make enough money, just enough to put myself through college, my family did not qualify for this program. That is not how a government funded health insurance should

    Also people who don’t have health insurance and have to have emergency health services have to pay a lot more money due to lack of health insurance. According to American Hospital Association, uninsured people health services end up costing $38 billion dollars a year. This provision has been very controversial and a lot of critics say it is unconstitutional. With that said, it was taken to Supreme Court, and in a 5-4 decision, it was decided that it was constitutional. A lot of critics say that this is unfair because a lot of people in our economy won’t be able to afford to pay health insurance. For now it is a little early to tell if people will be able to pay but so far reports sound good. According to washingtontimes.com, 91% of the first 8 million Obamacare enrollees have paid in full of their monthly health care insurance

    Heath care is currently, and has been, a hot topic in politics and the average person's life today. Since Obama has come into office he has brought up the issue of providing every American with health care coverage while keeping costs low. Since his re-election, we have been faced with a healthcare reform that tears our country, and politicians, down the middle. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare,” is “A federal statute signed into law in March 2010 as a part of the healthcare reform agenda of the Obama administration. Signed under the title of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the law included multiple provisions that would take effect over a matter of years, including the expansion of Medicaid eligibility, the establishment of health insurance exchanges and prohibiting health insurers from denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions” (Affordable Care Act). The reform is meant to help those who cannot cover the costs of coverage due to low income, or no jobs, as well as those who have been denied because of pre-existing heath conditions; it is essentially there to help those ultimately in need. Unfortunately, Obamacare is not beneficial to those who are currently covered, typically known as the average American, as it it is not cost effective nor constitutional.
