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

for

those

who

already

had

and

increased

taxes

for

medical

upply

(Amadeo,

Legislators

a

cost

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

to

Obamacare

or

Medicare

or
