Since the signing of the Patient Protection and affordable Care

Act, (PPACA) has taken criticism from politicians and the wider

public. The project's biggest desire was to increase spending on

Medicaid and reduce expenditures by Medicare. In order to

achieve the challenging financial targets required, most of the

general population would be required to fill out health

insurance, in the importance of promoting preventative care,

which needs federal subsidization in order to be viable.

The change in healthcare plans would take more Americans on

health insurance programs, but Medicare's payment rate

lowered, and an excise tax on insurance plans, with high

premiums, would be set in motion.

While Obama's trust and ratification of the bill was an attempt

to reduce federal healthcare spending in the midst of a serious

financial crisis, it would come at the expense of welfare

programs and food stamps.

One of the best elements of the PPACA was instituting

contraception as a requirement on the part of both employers

and educational institutions. The first proposal included

religious institutions within it. However, being and revised

under sudden and harsh criticism from opposing religious and

civic organizations. The changes to public health plans were in

response to the federal government's need to reduce its

Expenditure in excess of $300 billion, and as part of a need to

convert it from a government-run entity to a subsidized

program. Another of the most controversial implications of the

act was the effect that it would have on senior citizens. Senior

citizens would have the choice between a private plan

approved by Medicare or continue to pay fees for medical

services and expenses subsidized by the federal government.

Another of the staunch criticisms of the bill is that the Medicare

cuts may potentially effective medical institutions and hospitals

into debt, with senior citizens being worst affected.

One of the biggest questions left by the passage of the law was

what would happen to those who did not have health

insurance.

They were left in the absence of a government-funded

program. The government feeling the economic pinch seeks to

shift the blame of healthcare from the federal government

responsibility and put it back into the hands of the citizens.

The GOP thinks every person is responsible for or their own

state of health and the amount of care. This comes at, a time

when corporate companies are reducing the benefits extended

to employees for health insurance, high inflation and an

increased cost of living and consumers who are battling the

credit crunch.
