health care issues briefing

Before The Affordable Care Act was ever implemented there wasn't anything remotely close to a universal healthcare plan.

Millions of Americans were uninsured, do to high health insurance cost, or denials do to pre-existing conditions.

Shortly after President Barack Obama took office he began assessing the state of our healthcare plan, and the cost to our economy. He then stated that Healthcare cost post a threat to our economy.

After negotiations and votes between the House and the Senate. Both the Affordable Care Act, and the Reconciliation Act were approved.

In March, The Affordable Care Act (HR3590), and the Reconciliation Act were both signed into law by President Barack Obama, ensuring that previously uninsured Americans would now have access to affordable healthcare.

Estimates from the COB showed the the deficit would be reduced by 143 billion between 2010-2019, and that 32 million Americans who were previously uninsured would now have access to affordable insurance.

Currently, there are opposing views between parties on whether cost will be reduced or increased, on both health care premiums and the Federal Deficit.
