Is Donald J. Trump the cause, or the effect? Many politicians agree with Shelby Steele’s point of view which states, “Donald Trump is not the cause, he is the effect.” I believe Trumps election was the effect, of an endless list of political and economic disasters; hence making the political and economic disasters the cause. One of Trumps many promises is to remove Obamacare. Obamacare, is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, which was placed into motion by our 44th president Barack Obama. Obamacare has caused employers to reduce their number of full-time employees to part-time to avoid having to provide government-approved health plans or being penalized. This isn't benefiting anyone but our former president Barack Obama. …show more content…
In her article “ Elise Foley,” well known writer for Huffpost demonstrates how Trump cannot save something he already destroyed. “Trump cannot simply “extend” a deadline on DACA. People are slated to lose DACA protections on a rolling basis, and the program that would allow them to renew them has been rescinded. The only way for them to prolong their protections would be for Trump to restart a program that his administration has said is unconstitutional, and for the administration to begin accepting and approving applicants quickly enough to serve those set to lose their protections on March 6 or …show more content…
In an article for The Atlantic “Uri Friedman,” shows us how Trump starts a war. “ There are moments—like when the American president threatens to “totally destroy” the nation of North Korea and its raving mad “Little Rocket Man” of a leader, while the North Koreans suggest they’ll retaliate against this “declaration of war” from a “mentally deranged U.S. dotard” by downing U.S. military planes and exploding a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific Ocean—when one gets the distinct impression that the United States and North Korea are headed for war.”(Friedman) Trumps poor judgement may lead the U.S. into a third world
One of the most controversial topics in the United States in recent years has been the route which should be undertaken in overhauling the healthcare system for the millions of Americans who are currently uninsured. It is important to note that the goal of the Affordable Care Act is to make healthcare affordable; it provides low-cost, government-subsidized insurance options through the State Health Insurance Marketplace (Amadeo 1). Our current president, Barack Obama, made it one of his goals to bring healthcare to all Americans through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. This plan, which has been termed “Obamacare”, has come under scrutiny from many Americans, but has also received a large amount of support in turn for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons include a decrease in insurance discrimination on the basis of health or gender and affordable healthcare coverage for the millions of uninsured. The opposition to this act has cited increased costs and debt accumulation, a reduction in employer healthcare coverage options, as well as a penalization of those already using private healthcare insurance.
At the start of September, Donald Trump terminated a program and in turn put fear into the hearts of nearly 800,000 people and their friends and family. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, was a program that was made to replace the DREAM Act (a policy that was not approved by Congress which would have created a path towards citizenship for “illegal” immigrants that came to the United States as children). DACA was put into effect in 2012 by former President Barack Obama through an executive order. This policy protects immigrants who, as children, were either illegally brought to the United States or were brought legally but then stayed past their visas’ expiration dates. DACA provides this specific group of immigrants with protection from deportation, a social security number, and a work permit; however, it is not a way of gaining legal status. Not only are the qualifications for eligibility specific and limiting, but the application process itself is expensive, extensive, long, and it has to be done every two years.
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. My taxes should not go to the poor they should stop being lazy and doing drugs. Because of obamacare insurance rates have skyrocketed, the middle class , THE HARD WORKERS! Have to pay because of other people's incompetence. Insurance is a money making industry and this “affordable care act:” the mere tittle is contradicting to what they did.
Also, other presidents may follow suite, I’m not sure whether the Affordable Care Act will remain in place, or whether another president will propose another health care reform policy and strive to put that policy forth. This could be the goal of the executive branch in the future. “Only three presidents since the institution of popular voting for the senate have met the bar: Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Barack Obama, Obama is the only one of those to tackle health care reform. President Obama “assembled a team of White House staff and cabinet members to provide leadership and organization for the executive branches work on health care reform.” (Kaiser Family Foundation,
“Loose talk about war with North Korea is irresponsible” is an article from The Washington Post written by John R. Kasich,a Republican and Governor of Ohio, that goes on to broaden the spectrum of resolutions towards knowing how to responsibly deal with recent tensions between North Korea's Leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump that had recently included even more Nuclear threats that had been provoking worries around the World. John R. Kasich exclaims that the possibility of any type of war should not be by any reason the first solution to deal with these tensions,he goes on to say that “with millions of lives at stake, waging a war of words is a distraction from the serious task at hand(Kasich).” John R. Kasich conclude the rest of
Donald Trump is a successful businessman who has accomplished more than most people could ever dream of. He started in the real estate business and has his own university, appeared on a T.V. show, is a billionaire, has many golf resorts, and is the president of the United States. He is criticized for many of his comments and political views. Some of these views are him wanting to build a wall to protect the United States from illegal immigrants and drugs, wanting to replace The Affordable Care Act, and banning people from Muslim countries to keep out terrorists. Although Donald Trump is often viewed as a controversial figure, he benefitted the United States of America by improving and creating jobs, proving that non-establishment politicians can still win the presidency, and by making America safer.
President Obama has made healthcare reform a priority since the beginning of his presidency. Obama wants to implement a system similar to Medicare. As defined by Dictionary.com Medicare is: “a U.S. government program of hospitalization insurance and voluntary medical insurance for persons aged 65 and over and for certain disabled persons under 65”. This government based health insurance would still allow private insurance companies to stay in business. Another way Obama wants to change the health insurance companies is to expand coverage and improve the care given. What this means is people with cancer could possibly get health insurance in a case where no one else would cover them. This will also help to lower insurance plan costs. There are pros and cons to Obamas healthcare plan, but it might not be worth the cost or the problems to try and enact it.
The Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obamacare, is a new health policy created by the American federal government. Its purpose is to make healthcare more affordable and friendly for the people. Unfortunately in some way that does not prove to be the case. It is becoming apparent that Obama may have made some misleading statements to help get the ACA put into action. The ACA is sprinkled with many flaws that call for a reform such as people’s current plans being terminated, high costs, and at minimum some people’s hours being cut by their employers.
On March 23,2010 former President Barack Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often referred to by its nickname: Obamacare. This law would ideally offer all U.S. citizens the opportunity to obtain health insurance at a decent and affordable rate. There were many other incentives that came along with this law being passed. While it was well received by some, there were many whom opposed this law. A great portion of the GOP (republican party) were very vocal in opposition to this law, and desired to have it repealed all together. With the recent election of newly elected President Donald Trump, they would see this realization come to pass. While there
President Trump announced in September that he was ending the program, DACA, and gave Congress until March 5th to come up with a legislative solution. DACA, short for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, was a program developed during Obama’s presidency to protect deportation of immigrant children who came to the United States, nicknamed the DREAMers according to USA Today. However, Newsweek announced that a definite plan cannot be made due to contradicting beliefs among Congress about what should happen to the DREAMers, the nearly 800,000 immigrants that fall under the protection of the DACA program.
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also called “Obamacare”, was enacted into law, signed by President Obama, on March 23, 2010. Since then, it has been a much debated topic in our country. According to realclearpolitics.com, only 38.2% of Americans approve of the law and 51% disapprove. Obamacare has a lot of provisions and features in the bill has been implemented since the bill has been enacted that will affect the U.S. economy and society.
When Obamacare, a law passed to guarantee affordable health insurance to all Americans, was put into action it received many responses, and not all of them were positive. Obamacare was portrayed to be a great healthcare initiative and many people supported it. When the law was passed, however, it was revealed that most of it was a big lie. Obamacare should be taken away due to the many problems it has and unbeneficial results it produces, such as, unaffordable health care means fewer people have jobs, the benefits described are not near as nice as they were made out to be, and it is impossible to provide insurance for everybody in the United Sates without raising taxes.
Donald Trump said, “I support health care for people. I want people well taken care of. But I also want health care that we can afford as a country. I have people and friends closing down their businesses because of Obamacare”. Clearly, Trump is not a believer in Obamacare since it has hurt so many small businesses from being able to grow; however, he thinks that healthcare is an important program that should be there. Donald Trump is not the only person with an opinion of Obamacare, especially since it has been a hot debate ever since the Obama administration introduced it. Obamacare is technically the Affordable Care Act of 1020 and the Patient
On Sep. 5 of 2017, President Trump officially cancelled DACA, leaving more than 800,000 dreamers unprotected until there DACA status expires. DACA is an opportunity for dreamers to have the education they couldn’t get back at their home country. About 20% of those dreamers are in college or they have earned
Since its origin in 1948, North Korea has been isolated and heavily armed, with hostile relations with South Korea and Western countries. It has developed a capability to produce short- and medium-range missiles, chemical weapons, and possibly biological and nuclear weapons. In December 2002, Pyongyang lifted the freeze on its plutonium-based nuclear weapons program and expelled IAEA inspectors who had been monitoring the freeze under the Agreed Framework of October 1994. As the Bush administration was arguing its case at the United Nations for disarming Iraq, the world has been hit with alarming news of a more menacing threat: North Korea has an advanced nuclear weapons program that, U.S. officials believe, has already produced one or two nuclear bombs. As the most recent standoff with North Korea over nuclear missile-testing approaches the decompression point, the United States needs to own up to a central truth: The region of Northeast Asia will never be fully secure until the communist dictatorship of North Korea passes from the scene. After threatening to test a new, long-range missile, Pyongyang says it is willing to negotiate with "the hostile nations" opposing it. But whether the North will actually forgo its test launch is anyone's guess. North Korea first became embroiled with nuclear politics during the Korean War. Although nuclear weapons were never used in Korea, American political leaders and military commanders threatened to use nuclear weapons to end the Korean War on terms favorable to the United States. In 1958, the United States deployed nuclear weapons to South Korea for the first time, and the weapons remained there until President George Bush ordered their withdrawal in 1991. North Korean government stateme...
