As health care reform moves forward, many Americans are not aware of the large costs incurred by the government. Why do you think this is the case? Explain and support your answer.

Answer 1

Trump's plan would lower the costs for those who are healthy and increase the costs those suffer from a chronic illness. When healthy customers leave the health plans, the companies will be forced to increase prices to remain profitable. The health reforms in the government of American are primarily meant to help citizens acquire basic health care however it becomes costly in the long run. As health care reform moves forward, many Americans are not aware of the large costs incurred by the government. Under Trump's plan, health care costs are likely to increase at a faster rate than under Obamacare. The Trump's plan is likely to increase the debt; and when ACA costs increases, so will the cost of subsidies, which in turn increases the deficit and debt.
