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.

The reason Obama ran for presidency at that moment in history was because, “I believe deeply that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together – unless we perfect our union by understanding that we may not look the same and we may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction – toward a better future for our children and our grandchildren.” Barack Obama feels that if we come together as one than we can solve problems of today’s society such as a failing economy and a chronic health care crisis. The Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) is Obama’s solution to the chronic health care crisis, Obama Care’s goal is to give more Americans access to affordable, quality health insurance and to reduce the growth in U.S. health care spending.

Obama has striven to make it easy and affordable to provide healthcare for people in need of it. The United States changed the American health care system. Obama’s main purpose was to provide the Americans with health care that they can afford and also health insurance.

The Obama care helps most small businesses and the economy because it’s an affordable program.
Obama emotionally influences the nation to move forward from the issues of race that is hindering America. Without dwelling on his family tree, Obama reminds us that his father was black and his mother white, that he came from Kenya, but she came from Kansas: “I am married to a black American who carries within her the blood of slave and slave owners — an inheritance we pass on to our two precious daughters. I have brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles, and cousins, of every race and every hue, scattered across three continents, and for as long as I live, I will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible.
Barack Hussein Obama also struggled and suffered a lot during his life, but he ended up as the 44th President of The United States of American. He achieved his American Dream, and in his situation it was slightly impossible.

Obama showed how America is free and anyone can achieve their American Dream there.

And it will slow the growth of healthcare costs for our families, our businesses, and our government.” -President Obama addressing the Joint Session of Congress in 2009. In 2010 Obama created the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) on March 2010, by doing this it increased the coverage of healthcare insurance for many Americans.
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.

He reviled both his personal and family history stating, “I am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas, “I am married to a black American who carries within her the blood of slaves and slave-owners”, and, I have brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles and cousins, of every race and every hue, scattered across three continents”. As Obama is telling his family background, He shows how and why he has an authority to speak on race issues. It then supports the remarks he later makes about the race issues that are affecting America. By Him revealing his own personal history it allows him to gain ethos by creating a personal connection with his audience. This allows his audience to be a lot more inclined to trust him, and support him if they can make a connection to his speech on a more personal
