The Affordable Care Act (ACA) signed into law in March 2013 by President Obama included goals are : to expand access to insurance, increase consumer protections, emphasize prevention and wellness, improve quality and system performance, expand the health workforce and curb rising health care costs (King, Martha,2011). Although these goals are beneficial to society, there has been many political efforts to replace/repeal this law. Some of the reasons are that the ACA raised taxes on individuals making over $200,000 per year, obligated businesses who had more than 50 employees to provide health benefits, imposed a tax penalty for individuals without coverage, increased premiums for those who already had coverage and increased taxes for medical supply manufacturers (Amadeo, K, 2020). Legislators must perform a cost-benefit analysis when it comes to supporting efforts to repeal/replace the ACA when it comes to being elected. Supporting the repeal of the ACA would benefit business owners, medical supply companies, insurance companies, those who make over two hundred thousand dollars per year. This population is primarily who fund election campaigns. Legislators must weigh how much it will cost them if they vote to repeal the ACA. The reality is that policymakers are not necessarily focused on how real people will be affected by changes to Obamacare or Medicare or Medicaid but rather on how the changes will affect their own re-election chances (Milstead, J. A., & Short, N. M. (2019).
Legislators also perform analysis of voters and their views to influence which policies will be at the forefront of their campaign. People will vote for the candidate who they think will support policies that will benefit them. During the Trump campaign in 2020, he supported decreasing funding for Medicaid and enforcing stricter rules for who can receive coverage. The Biden campaign supported to expand Medicaid and extent full benefits with no premiums (Pifer, R. 2020,Election 2020: Trump and Biden’s starkly diverging views on healthcare). Lower income individuals voted for Biden and higher income individuals voted for Trump. According to exit polling in the 2020 Presidential Election in the United States, 57 percent of surveyed voters making less than 50,000 U.S. dollars reported voting for former Vice President Joe Biden. In the race to become the next president of the United States, 54 percent of voters with an income of 100,000 U.S. dollars or more reported voting for incumbent President Donald Trump (Duffin, E. 2020).
The primary goal of legislators is to be elected/re-elected and they perform cost-benefit analysis to see which legislation if supported will provide more political support and increase their chances for election.

The
Affordable
Care
Act
(ACA)
signed
into
law
in
March
2013
by
President
Obama
included
goals
are
:
to
expand
access
to
insurance,
increase
consumer
protections,
emphasize
prevention
and
wellness,
improve
quality
and
system
performance,
expan
d
the
health
workforce
and
curb
rising
health
care
costs
(King,
Martha,2011).
Although
these
goals
are
beneficial
to
society,
there
has
been
many
political
efforts
to
replace/repeal
this
law.
Some
of
the
reasons
are
that
the
ACA
raised
taxes
on
individual
s
making
over
$200,000
per
year,
obligated
businesses
who
had
more
than
50
employees
to
provide
health
benefits,
imposed
a
tax
penalty
for
individuals
without
coverage,
increased
premiums
for
those
who
already
had
coverage
and
increased
taxes
for
medical
s
upply
manufacturers
(Amadeo,
K,
2020).
Legislators
must
perform
a
cost
–
benefit
analysis
when
it
comes
to
supporting
efforts
to
repeal/replace
the
ACA
when
it
comes
to
being
elected.
Supporting
the
repeal
of
the
ACA
would
benefit
business
owners,
medical
s
upply
companies,
insurance
companies,
those
who
make
over
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
year.
This
population
is
primarily
who
fund
election
campaigns.
Legislators
must
weigh
how
much
it
will
cost
them
if
they
vote
to
repeal
the
ACA.
The
reality
is
that
policymakers
are
not
necessarily
focused
on
how
real
people
will
be
affected
by
changes
to
Obamacare
or
Medicare
or
Medicaid
but
rather
on
how
the
changes
will
affect
their
own
re

chances
(Milstead,

Legislators
al
so
perform
analysis
of
voters
and
their
views
to
influence
which
policies
will
be
at
the
forefront
of
their
campaign.
People
will
vote
for
the
candidate
who
they
think
will
support
policies
that
will
benefit
them.
During
the
Trump
campaign
in
2020,
he
supported
decreasing
funding
for
Medicaid
and
enforcing
stricter
rules
for
who
can
receive
coverage.
The
Biden

su

to

Medicaid
and

full
benefits
with
no
premiums
(Pifer,
R.
2020,Election
2020:

Biden’s

views
on
healthcare).
Lower
income
individuals
voted

Biden
and
higher

individuals
voted

Accordin
g
to

in
the
2020

57
percent
of
