Is Donald Trump And Bernie Sanders?

In the 2016 election, the two candidates running for President are: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Many people voting in this year's election are wanting someone different, someone who can get their points across. People are wanting someone who says, and will, make a difference in the world. America is filled with many disagreements and issues, especially on security as in NSA Surveillance; they also have issues on terrorists, and how they interrogate and torture them.

President Obama’s pledge to pay for the program by taxing the rich, who is anyone that makes more than $1 million a year (which would include President Obama) and will make for “a marketplace that provides choice and competition” (Conniff, 2009). He also proposes that reform is about every American who has ever feared losing their coverage if they become too sick, lose their jobs or even change their jobs. It’s realizing that the biggest force behind our deficit is the growing costs for Medicare and Medicaid programs.”

While campaigning for the 2016 presidential election, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont proposed that America should adopt a single-payer health care system. In Sanders’s plan, there would have been only one insurance program that would have covered everyone in the United States; in effect, other programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, and especially private insurance would be discontinued (Holahan, 2016, p. 1). If Sanders’s proposal were to be carried out, it would be a drastic change from the current system which predominately comprises of private insurance and hospitals under limited government regulations. The debate reopened on whether or not a single-payer system would be an effective system health care system or economically viable. Due to the contrasting nature of current health care system in the United States, policymakers should approach proposals of single-payer health care systems with caution and an understanding of the benefits and the drawbacks by examining the successes and failures of real-world systems.

The article illustrates that how republican candidate, Donald Trump, wants to change the aspects of health care. As mentioned in the article, Trump wants to make vast decisions on health care and wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (Wilensky, 2016). The Affordable Care Act was created in order to help individuals obtain insurance. The Affordable Care Act was created during Obama’s presidency and is a part of Obamacare. If Trump is elected, he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which can cause a variety of issues for those individuals who depend on it. There has also been a discussion about raising the Medicare eligibility age of 67, which would make it difficult for individuals who need the help before the age of 67. Individuals rely on the Affordable Care Act and Medicare because it allows them to have access to the

Universal Healthcare in the United States has been a long time journey that dates back decades and we, as a country, are far behind other developed countries who have had universal healthcare for a long time. Today, Healthcare is obtained through employers or by people paying for it by themselves, which is incredibly expensive due to high premiums. Five years have passed since the controversial Obama care, or Affordable Care Act, was signed into law on March 23, 2010. The Affordable Care Act aimed at fixing the many problems that the United States has with healthcare by making it available to everyone, but also more efficient and this required drastic changes that made some people happy while others unhappy since some are benefiting while others are not. These people include politicians, but foremost presidential candidates. Candidate’s stance on the issue of healthcare is truly important due to the fact that if they’re the next president of the United States, it could hurt or improve the health care reform. Noteworthy candidates are: Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, Marco Rubio, and Bernie Sanders. Republicans and Democrats have long debated whether or not the Affordable Care Act should be repealed or replaced. Republicans believe that it is a problem while Democrats support it. The Affordable Care Act should not be replaced but instead improved because it provides quality and affordable health care to Americans. Everyone gets sick and people shouldn’t be afraid of receiving help

An Obama ad campaign stated 47 million do not contain healthcare insurance. Obama’s plan solves this problem with a national healthcare system. He will make comparable rates as Americans in Congress. Small businesses will get tax credits to cover 50% of the cost of insuring their employees. Obama will make sure that healthcare insurance work for Americans, and small businesses, not drug companies. The national healthcare system will defiantly change the system for the better.

In a CNN debate with Ted Cruz, Sanders brought up questions regarding the current system and wondered why we continue to rely on premiums and why we continue to enrich insurers that are unreliable. Although, Sanders is a representative of liberal and progressive ideas this idea of universal health is becoming more mainstream with democratic and Republican voters. In a recent Pew poll, the survey showed that 60 percent of respondents believed that the government should be responsible of the coverage of all Americans. Other polls showed that low income Republicans have shown support for universal health care and this comes as an opportunity for politicians in both parties. From a Republican standpoint, this would complete the promise of repealing and replacing Obamacare and it would also solve the problem of the disastrous exchange system. This idea may be too liberal for most Republican politicians as it goes against party lines, but strong support from the democrats and their constituents could alter some of the positions of Republican politicians.

The current inflation in health care cost in the United States has gotten everyone troubled and in search for new ways to adapt or stomach these constant increases. A recent online article posted on Fortune website states that the expected cost of healthcare would grow 6.5% through the upcoming year (Lorenzetti, 2016). Such concerns have taking to the mainstream of politics as government officials continue to exploit the people’s insecurities, making boisterous promises to provide a more affordable health care system for all. A recent health care system which was proposed to the American people this recent 2016 election campaign is that of a Single-Party Payer. Republican presidential candidate Bernie Sander’s made this

Medicare-for-all mandates that employers pay into the single-payer healthcare system instead of providing insurance which will potentially cut into the money available for paychecks (Qiu, 2016). While still in the early planning stages, it is vital to identify and address the key missing details of Sanders’ plan. Tradeoffs can only be fully measured when all relevant information is made available.

So many people were not able to afford healthcare because it was so expensive resulting in them not having any healthcare at all. When President Obama was in office, he came up with the idea of the Affordable Care Act(Obamacare). It allowed everyone to receive some sort of healthcare at an affordable rate. Both Clinton and Trump have different views on if Obamacare should still be used or repealed. Clinton wants to continue to expand and improve Obamacare. I believe that Obamacare is not working. The promises that were made by Obama about citizens having affordable health care insurance is not happening. People are foregoing medical coverage and paying the penalty which is much cheaper. Trump believes every American deserves access to high quality affordable healthcare insurance. He considers the system socialism where it’s a government run healthcare. He believes we need a system where families and doctors are the primary decision makers. He wants to replace Obamacare with a system that will cost less money for the government and the people. I believe that the insurance policy in this country must be changed and Obamacare should be repealed. We should have a new healthcare policy that would be market-based and

Our new elect- President Donald Trump has many goals he desires to accomplish within his four-year term, and one of which is improving health care. Former President, Barack Obama created Obamacare for people to use as a more effective and affordable health insurance. Many Democrats are protesting for their right to keep this Affordable Care Act; however, President Donald Trump is in the process of replacing this health insurance. One huge supporter of the Affordable Care Act is Hillary Clinton; former opponent of President Trump. Hillary Clinton’s plans for health care included to defend and expand the Affordable Care Act, bring down out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles, reduce the cost of prescription drugs, protect consumers from unjustified prescription drug price increases from companies, and fight for health insurance for the lowest-income Americans (“Hillary on Health Care” 1). Most of Clinton’s goals were already in involved with Obamacare, and she aspired to push Obamacare to its’ fullest advantage by helping it become enhanced and

Before the newly elected president Donald Trump officially taking over the office, he is gaining influences both nationally and internationally, and a majority of republican voters anticipate changes regarding some of the policies from Obama administration, for instance, they want to abandon Obama care and implement new health care laws, the reason for this is that people think Obamacare can be expensive at times, and the tax that some people have to pay is simply too much, therefore, newly elected president Donald Trump proposed several plans regarding his healthcare policy, and the Healthcare IT News listed his seven-point healthcare plan, and number seven will likely be controversial and openly debatable.

U.S. health care reform is currently one of the most heavily discussed topics in health discourse and politics. After former President Clinton’s failed attempt at health care reform in the mid-1990s, the Bush administration showed no serious efforts at achieving universal health coverage for the millions of uninsured Americans. With Barack Obama as the current U.S. President, health care reform is once again a top priority. President Obama has made a promise to “provide affordable, comprehensive, and portable health coverage for all Americans…” by the end of his first term (Barackobama.com). The heated debate between the two major political parties over health care reform revolves around how to pay for it and more importantly, whether it

“We will pass reform that lowers cost, promotes choice, and provides coverage that every American can count on. And we will do it this year.” The preceding is a powerful statement from the newly elected President Barak Obama. One of the main aspects of both political campaigns was health care reform. The above quote shows passion and encouragement, but the quotes about health care do not end there. Georgian republican gubernatorial candidate and health care policy maker John Oxendine expressed: “Their proposal would virtually devastate the private healthcare sector in this country along with competition and patient choice, by replacing it with bureaucratic planning and government control. The result of this plan and its one trillion

Sanders explained his plan to implement Medicare for all. " It is time for our country to join every other major industrialized nation on earth and guarantee health care to all citizens as a right, not as a privilege." That is what he said.
