Essay ObamaCareDo you know what ObamaCare is? If not, you'll know anyway because I'll explain what exactly ObamaCare is. ObamaCare is a healthcare reform law passed by our current President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. It was passed in an effort that more Americans would have access to healthcare and be able to afford it. To apply for ObamaCare the person must be a US citizen. ObamaCare didn't really affect Americans in any form because most Americans stayed with the healthcare provider they already had. However, for those people who have actually decided to undergo Obamacare, they are most likely those who have pre-existing conditions. For example, children with heart disease or something similar, like they were born with birth defects. ObamaCare provides coverage for this unlike other health insurance. ObamaCare cannot deny coverage to any American, regardless of what health problem they have. Before ObamaCare was implemented, insurance companies took advantage of people. If the person becomes ill or injured for any particular reason, the insurance companies may/could justify that the person made a mistake in the documents, therefore the insurance company cannot be held responsible for covering that person's bills. Insurance companies also discriminate against people of any age with pre-existing conditions because they don't want to have to pay for their medications which are most likely expensive. the care was also very limited. Something that insurance companies often did was take advantage of people since most people to this day are not very knowledgeable about insurance company laws and do not pay much attention to them.
