The Effects of the Affordable Care Act
Throughout the years, there have been many individuals and families who have not been able to afford healthcare. Some programs have helped to provide for those in need, but they have not provided to all needy citizens. In an effort to provide more people with the healthcare and insurance they truly need, the United States government has developed the Affordable Care Act. The act’s purpose is to expand Medicare, which was originally developed to provide for the elderly and the disabled, to those who are not disabled but are in times of financial hardship. The Affordable Care Act was originally developed to ensure healthcare to all individuals

The Affordable Care Act does create a large increase in the number of patients hospitals will receive, which should produce a larger income for the hospitals, but, with thirty million new patients (Ghosh, Chandak 68) who may be paying all of their medical bills at lower rates than other patients, the hospitals will not be able to afford the high quality items they normally have because of the decrease in income.

According to the GAO (the United States Government Accountability Office), the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) can help to reduce Medicare fraud by strengthening the program’s enrollment standards and procedures, improving the pre- and post-payment claims reviews, and developing a vigorous process for addressing identified vulnerabilities (King, Kathleen 3). If the efforts are not made to decrease the amount of Medicare fraud that occurs, the nation and the healthcare system will continue to lose money. Also, those who commit the frauds will hinder the citizens who really need the help from receiving the healthcare they need because of the lost Federal funds. In order for the Affordable Care Act to perform its intended purpose of providing healthcare to those

The Affordable Care Act, or ACA, is a health care system reform that was implemented in 2010 by Obama, the current, and then president. There was a great deal of debate when the reform came about, and what it would mean for companies, individuals, and medical care providers. Ultimately, it was designed to bring a reform to the nation’s broken health care system ((Manchikanti, Caraway, Parr, Fellows, & Hirsch, 2010). There were so many individuals without health insurance who did not get the care they needed, and this reform came about to try and create a more equal and fair system that gives everybody a sort of equal chance at insurance and health care. Like any change, it’s frightening when something new and unknown comes about, and that is exactly what this did. There were many who were unhappy with it getting passed, as well as many who were pleased with it. This didn’t just fall onto Republicans or Democrats, but individuals who were in the health care systems, like medical care providers and certain insurance companies, which it would affect.

The ability for a sick individual to attain proper treatment for their ailments has reached the upper echelons of government.

As described in the article, much of the full effect of the ACA is yet to be determined due to its existence being only five years.
