Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act
Obamacare, also known as The Affordable Care is the new health care improvement law in U.S. Laws like the Health and Public Services Act and the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act are also being affected. The Affordable Care Act is an effort to improve the healthcare system by giving many Americans a more reasonable quality health insurance and by restricting the increase in healthcare spending in America today. The benefits of this reform program consist of new rules for insurance companies, funding, education, tax breaks, the creation of committees, taxes, spending, education, new job creation, etc. All Americans with health insurance will be able to ensure that they can get treatment when they are in need of it.
The ACA makes insurance more affordable by decreasing “out-of-pocket” costs for millions of people and small business owners who had been out priced in the past. This helps over 32 million Americans pay for health care, and makes coverage more inexpensive for several others. Under the new act, almost 95% of Americans will now be insured. Now individuals will be equally insured to put an end to discrimination. In the past costs could differ wildly due to factors like age, health, or you could be discriminated based on your gender. The act restricts inconsistencies in what you can be charged. Many of individuals who can't come up with the money for the coverage will not be liable to maintain coverage. This act puts our budget and economy on a steady pathway by dropping the deficit by over one hundred billion dollars over the next decade and even more in the long run. The main focus of the act is to cut the governments reckless spending and reining in fraud, waste, and abuse. The Affordable Care Act also...

That is the only reasonable explanation I can think as to why the waiting room could get that packed. It took a patient over four hours to be checked out in “The Waiting Room”. That is beyond ridiculous, and the nurses and doctors both know it. Yes I know no one works for free, but if you don’t mind skipping over the un-wealthy waiting ill (if not sicker) patients only to make a quick dollar then those doctors are in the wrong field. Doctors work hard to be where they are today. They’re responsibility is to serve and better their patients, not to feed upon the rich only to make a few extra payments. I feel as if the Affordable Care Act will do a great job at abolishing this “sickening” discrimination.
