• Case Study: What has been the impact of politics on the ACA? Remember to use the policy terms and tools from previous modules. Do not make this about politics, politics will influence the policy. Do not blame a political party or make this an editorial.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been successful in providing affordable health care to millions of Americans.
The ACA has extended its health insurance to more than 20 million people.
Health professionals are anxious about the impact of politics on ACA.
The healthcare law is highly political.
The ACA has remained a centerpiece of the nation's political debate, even as it becomes more firmly established in law.
But the extraordinary importance of party identification in predicting a person's support for the legislation raises the question of whether the ACA can ever escape its polarizing branding & be accepted by policymakers at present and for the future as a settled law, rather than an ongoing political battle
Or
it will be remain a political football for the next few years.
And we are well known that policy is a very important part of the health care system.
And if the policymakers are totally under the influence of political nexus, then it will directly affect ACA.
Political parties may go for their personal benefits not for the welfare of patient of the society.
There may be a great nexus between political parties and the leading medicine companies.
And for a few kind of greediness of political fund the health care system may be highly affected badly as ACA will not act properly for the betterment of the patients or society in that manner in which it should.
Hence it is very clear that this issue is very serious and there is concrete fact that politics will affect ACA significantly.
