More Coverage For
Elderly Approved
2. Category* of Problem/Issue identified in article: Health
3. Level of problem/issue: Federal
4. State whether the article is concerning one of the
following:
·
An “enacted”
policy that has been passed to help with an issue that seniors face.
5. This is
important for the elderly because it covers their expensive treatments. The senior’s
retirees are the most benefited, they pay three times less than what they paid
before.
6. The federal
health care law benefits mostly the seniors of our society. This law is also
going to benefit greatly the senior’s retiree. Many elderly have trouble
finding insurances that cover all their needs because of their diseases such as
diabetes. The good thing about this law is that now insurers are obligated to
offer insurances that cover most of all the customers’ needs. This law allows
millions of Americans to be able to pay premiums. Even families that are low
income are expected to be able to afford premiums with the ‘’ Obama Care’’.
Also these benefits the seniors who are over 65 because they now can pay three
times less than of what they paid before, even with the expensive medical
conditions. Yet those who are already
insured see this law as a threat, they worried that their insurance coverage is
going to be cut to pay for the insured. This law has more positive benefits
than negative which that’s why it was passed. Yet if it skyrockets it’s going
to have a negative effect on the government and its going to cost them more at
a time when lawmakers are trying to tame the federal budget. In my opinion this law overall it’s a good
one because it helps the elderly with special needs that their treatments are
expensive and they cannot afford. Also the pre retirees are the most benefited
from this law, so more laws like this should be passed.
