Health care reform "messed up" Obama

Source: Beijing Youth Daily on December 23, 2013, at the weekend's year-end press conference, President Barack Obama of the United States firmly denied that the past year had not been a good one, and listed various achievements in domestic and foreign affairs to reporters But on the issue of health care reform that concerns the United States, Mr Obama frankly said it was a "mess." From the high-profile implementation of the medical reform program at the beginning of taking office to the dismal recognition of the problems, this reform, which is called the "first project" of Obama's internal affairs, not only failed to add points for him, but also was destined to become a flaw in his administration People's life, old age and death are all related to medical treatment, which is a major event in life Like other countries, health care and education have always been the focus of American society Obama's strong implementation of health care reform not only conforms to the Democratic Party's policy position, but also reflects Obama's strong livelihood complex Compared with many developed countries, the health insurance system in the United States needs to be improved For example, many Americans do not have any health insurance So it's Obama's dream to have health insurance for everyone According to his well-known Obama care design, the United States needs to promote universal health insurance by law, which stipulates that all people should have health insurance, which must include 10 designated core health care projects, and only single working families can pay their insurance costs through government subsidies At the same time, Medicaid, which is expanded by law, will provide medical insurance to people who do not have insurance at present According to the design, this will create a new health insurance market The cost of insurance depends on age, where you live, whether you smoke or not, and the type of health care you choose Obama firmly believes that this will effectively solve the problems of low coverage, lack of fairness and low efficiency of the existing health care system Therefore, even in the face of heavy resistance from the Republican Party, even when there are disputes within the party and public opinion, Obama has never wavered in his determination to implement health care reform However, the health reform plan has caused significant losses to Obama and even American politics The most outstanding thing is that the bill has caused continuous confrontation in the US Congress, even led to the closure of the federal government for 16 days in October this year, and this contradiction will continue to lay "minefields" for the debt ceiling and the federal budget For Obama, in his first term, he once undermined his credibility in global politics by appearing incapable of getting health care reform through At the beginning of 2010, when the health reform plan was approved by Congress, Obama finally raised his eyebrows However, after three years of attack and defense of the two parties' political health reform, the image of weakness once again hangs over Obama At present, we admit that "it's screwed up" because Obama's health care reform plan does have some hard injuries The most obvious thing is that when the health care law came into effect in October this year, hundreds of thousands of Americans wanted to log in to the health care website through the Internet, but they couldn't register because of network technology problems The technical problem of website registration has not been completely solved, and there are new problems Millions of Americans are forced to lose their original medical insurance because of the Obamacare reform Some media criticized that Obama had hoped that the health care reform plan could improve efficiency and reduce costs, but the health insurance system that forced people to participate showed low efficiency and high cost as soon as it appeared The Washington Post recently released the top 10 lies of 2013, and Obama's high-profile comments on health reform that he failed to fulfill were also included in the "black list" At the beginning of his presidency, Obama predicted that it would be difficult to implement the health reform plan At that time, he thought that the resistance would come from the Republican Party and its voters Today's scarred health care reform program makes Obama realize that the problems also come from the imperfection of the new health care system and the internal contradictions of the health care reform law, as well as many grassroots voters' failure to pay for the health care reform program From a political point of view, Obama lost money and failed to make a profit The result has become a nightmare for Obama Health care reform is too big a thing, From Theodore Roosevelt to Bill Clinton, successive presidents have failed to achieve this social reform Obama, who had believed that he would have a record of his achievements in power, may not hold that hope now
