Insurance policies for small companies would receive tax breaks to help keep policies affordable, create insurance exchange programs so more people can find affordable insurance who are uninsured, young adults can stay on their parents’ insurance until 26, and insurance companies cannot discriminate…
I believe a few challenges the ACA still faces is with miscommunication of parts of the legislation and the increasing cost to patients. A good example of the miscommunication of the legislation that led to more cost to a patient is a case where a family was made to repay tax credits they received after they had taken what they thought to be the appropriate steps. The advance premium tax credit under the ACA can turn out to be bitter sweet for some people. Under the plan, taxpayers with household incomes between 100 – 400% of the federal poverty line can receive premium assistance tax credits when they purchase plans through a health insurance exchange (Reichert, 2017). This is a benefit to those Americans because they are eligible for…

The landscape for transgender healthcare has been radically impacted by the passage and implementation of the Affordable Care Act [ACA]. The ACA paved the way for the state and country to address the discrimination and barriers to accessing care that many transgender people have experienced.

Introduction The Affordable Care Act has transformed the health care system for individuals with chronic illnesses. The ACA stipulates that insurance companies can no longer discriminate against individuals with preexisting conditions (Burge, & Schade, 2014).

Researchers estimated that approximately thirty-two million Americans with chronic conditions will have access to health care as a result of the ACA (Arora et…
