Question

Discussed the advantange of medicaid espansion in the US.

Answer 1

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) has changed health care because it shows the significant regulatory overhaul of the healthcare system of U.S.A since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. Medicare is insurance programs which cover senior citizens ages 65, disabled people who qualify for some social security. On the other hand Medicaid is a supporting programs which cover those families or individual who have no income.

Advantage of Medicaid expansion in the US:

Medicaid eligibility expansion plan means that all citizens and legal residents of United States are eligible for Medicaid if less than 133% of Federal poverty level. The program of Medicaid expansion main aim is to substantial increase in the number of beneficiaries covered by medicaid. In my opinion every citizen in the nation should be able to get Medicaid. The middle and upper class should also be able to get Medicaid. This Medicaid expansion-related tax will impact employers with more than 50 full-time workers started in 2015. The wealthy people will pay more into Medicare, as a result the tax rates on wages will increase and there will be a higher tax on unearned income. These taxes can be used by the government for development and improvement for poor.
