Need an argumentative essay on OBAMA HEALTH CARE REFORM. Needs to be 6 pages. Please no plagiarism.

Obama wanted congress to approve it by the end of 2009. On November 7, 2009 a bill was passed on health care. On December 24, 2009 the senate passed the bill without taking any public opinion. The senate, on 21st March 2010 passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and Obama signed it on 23rd march 2010. The concept of Obamacare is very old. In the year 1989, it was earlier proposed by Heritage Foundation (Christensen, et al, 2010). It was a type of alternative to those who used to pay for their health care individually. From that time the issues regarding health care were very much discussed. It was on the focus by both the parties. At the 2008 election the Democratic Party made the healthcare reform its platform. President Obama always wanted to do something regarding the health care issues of the citizens. There are many private insurance plans that do not cover the pre existing conditions of the patients. Few are there who cheated in the name of the terms and conditions. To put a ban on these Obama introduced and worked hard on passing the bill regarding the health care of the patients. The reforms proposed earlier were never passed. The procedures were lacking. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act took action that required almost four years of implementation. It offered an opportunity to the citizens by providing medical aids for people who were below the poverty level. Giving $8800 per four people in a family for which they had to pay extra 2-5% of their income for the treatment (Terry, 2010). The main purpose of introducing this Act was to look after the betterment of the citizens. People belonging to high income level were not an issue in terms of dealing with their health issues and demands. However, the major concern was in the form of dealing with the health issues of poor people. There were companies who refused to cover the insurance of the patients who were already having a pre existing condition. The Obamacare put prohibitions on all those private insurance companies who not only refused covering but also cheated while coming to terms to the medical issues. When the law was passed many people objected. Governments cannot force its citizens to believe on any policy along with embracing it. Many states filed cases against the government regarding such issues. The name Obamacare was later dubbed by the media. Companies often used to drop off its policies when the patients were sick. To stop all these wrongful practices of the private companies, the act was introduced and implemented. The government has always thought for the betterment of its citizens and the same in applicable in the context of the healthcare. Obamacare has given a new direction to the health care facilities of its citizens by making it available, affordable and qualitative. It has also helped in dealing with a number of healthcare issues in a logical and well planned manner. Furthermore, there have been a number of un-insured people in the US willing to have healthcare benefits but because of the lack of the healthcare programs and initiatives failed in availing the healthcare services in a desired manner (Terry, 2010). The healthcare reform has further helped in revamping the healthcare strategies and initiatives. The well planned attention on millions of people has offered a ray of hope to a number of people being deprived of the healthcare needs and usefulness.
