Healthcare reform

Healthcare in the United States has gone through its ups and downs. Universal healthcare is a very controversial topic, many believe it should be available to everyone as it being a constitutional right, many also believe it shouldn’t be available to everyone because it could cause more debt for the U.S. Sure, making healthcare available to everyone may save a lot of lives but it may cost lives and or increase health problems to a certain population considering the increased wait times for…

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has its ups and downs just like any other health insurance company out there. Is the act really affordable? The title of the act claims that it is as you can see when saying or reading. Do we know for sure or agree on this though? Does the tittle lie to us or is it just the name it needs.

For 86% of Americans, health care as they know it will not be changed.
