Hello Victoria, thank you for a very interesting fact you shared in our discussion. I just want to add that while I’m reading about the U.S. subsidized health care programs, I encountered an article about the future funding of the children’s health insurance program (CHIP). As most of us now know, CHIP is a significant health insurance supplement for children not eligible to obtain full Medicaid coverage, that covered almost 9 million children in 2016. However, after September 2017, the new President Trump’s law-makers will have to extend the financing of CHIP; otherwise, all the federal CHIP resources will drain amid the fiscal year of 2018. Furthermore, the current president’s FY2018 suggested financial plan consist of significant Medicaid

    Author Stuart M. Butler, PhD., MA for The Journal of the American Medical Association points out “for many households, the president’s promise of affordable coverage rings hollow and has not been realized” (Butler). There are only 10 million people enrolled in healthcare compared to earlier projections.

Although the ACA has made progress, there are still areas that need to be readdressed so healthcare cost reduction can be realized. Regardless, the President realizes that there is more work to be done to provide affordable healthcare coverage for the uninsured and the moderate income…

    It's the dog days of summer. Football is right around the corner, moves are still to be made on the NBA front and we are smack dab in the middle of All-Star break.

    Chuck Boyce sends letter to U.S. Senators with ideas for Healthcare Reform Republican Senate candidate Chuck Boyce today announced that he would be sending out a letter to U.S. Senators regarding the Healthcare bill currently up for debate on the Senate Floor in Congress. While Republicans have the numbers in the Senate, the party seems to be split on how they reform healthcare properly while also fulfilling their campaign promises to ‘repeal and replace’ Obamacare. For seven years, the American people have been waiting for this campaign promise to be fulfilled with a better healthcare bill to make it more affordable. In these letters, I will include concrete ideas that I believe should be added to the current healthcare bill, which would make it more reasonably priced and accessible.…

    Tammy, you are right in today's world of health insurance that is a great deductible and is almost never heard of. It seems like people who have union jobs typically still have really good health insurance coverage. I know someone who has a union job who doesn't have to pay any monthly premium at all. I think it's great that some people still are fortunate enough to have lower more reasonable deductibles and copays, I just wish somehow that it could be offered to everyone. Also, happening more often today is the removal of insurance coverage for dental and vision care, which I think is really upsetting as it is important in helping to maintain optimum…

    Statistically, only twenty-eight percent of Americans are insured through government-funded programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, implemented in the middle 1960s. Medicare commonly insures older people with acute care needs. “Medicaid is the joint federal-state government-sponsored program that pays for health services for poor children, pregnant women, and mothers of young children as well as mentally and physically disabled and very poor elderly individuals” (Emanuel 36). The most recent attempt to maintain a current medical assistance problem was a new law widely known as Obamacare. President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law on the 23rd of March 2010, putting in place comprehensive reforms that are meant to improve access to affordable health coverage for everyone and protect consumers from unfair insurance company practices.…
