Obama Care

                                                          
   Obama Care is a topic about health care which will never be fully decided. People feel like it will make our city become bankrupt and will increase taxes and others feel like that it might be the best thing that has been invented. A hot topic in the U.S. and the world at large right now is fighting the high cost of healthcare. In the United States, a polarizing issue is the Affordable Care Act, better known as "Obama care." There are many people up in arms about the future of healthcare in America. There are many components of the Affordable Care Act that are widely misunderstood by many citizens. Here's a look at things you need to know about Obama care, and why it's not as scary.Obama Care’s goal is to provide affordable health insurance for all US citizens and to reduce the growth in health care spending.(Luke Sharret,The New York times)                                                   
    Obama Care does not replace private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. The Fact is Obama Care gives 47 million women access to preventative health services and makes it illegal to charge women different rates than men. Get More Obama Care Women's Health Services Facts. Obama Care gives seniors access to cheaper drugs, free preventive care, Reforms Medicare Advantage, and closes the Medicare Part D 'donut hole. The AARP agrees, costs won't rise because of Obama Care, if anything the improvements to the system will make seniors health care costs go down. Obama care is not replacing private health insurance, Medicaid or Medicare. The Affordable Care Act works hand in hand with private insurance by regulating insurance practices and giving citizens affordable options and making sure that every American citizen has access to affordable healthcare. Without private insurance, the Affordable Care Act would not work. There is no specific "government" plan; you are free to select whichever plan you desire.Some aspects of Obama care health care reform are already enacted.(Health Care Org) The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act were signed in 2010, we bet you didn't even notice unless you needed coverage and didn't have it. The Affordable Care Act requires that insurance plans cover preventative services and stops insurance companies from dropping you when you are sick, as well as offering a number of other reforms and protections. There are many people who would like to see Obama Care repealed. If Obama care is repealed millions of Americans will be without proper health coverage and insurance companies will continue to be able to deny healthcare for preexisting conditions. Without healthcare reform America will continue suffer the consequences of a health care system controlled by private companies, whose bottom line is money and not health.

      Some people definitely feel different. They might feel that Obama Care is not beneficial to us in the city. Let me offer a radical counter-theory on why Obama Care’s popularity never took off: As much as people dislike some aspects of their health care, they get panicky at the prospect of a major overhaul. Too much can go wrong if things don’t work out — longer waits, fewer doctors, more expensive care. Toss in a strange new power grab in the form of the mandate, exotic procedures being used in Congress to pass the thing, the prospect of Medicare being raided to pay for the reform, and the unpalatable reality of big government rolling out the ultimate big government program and you've got a mighty heavy lift turning this into a political winner.I don't agree with this because this will be beneficial for people who is in need and it will help people who need help. Everyone who is against this have it good and they are only thinking about themselves which is not fair. They need to be open minded and think about what others need and how it can help make communities better.(AllahPundit)
          In conclusion I am a pro con for Obama care. I feel like it will help and make a difference in the future for everybody.
