Explain how each of the presidential administrations
approached the issue.
Trump dismantled Obama care stating that it was overpriced
insurance that was not beneficial to the consumer. He rid of
the tax fee that was mandated for those who did not have
insurance. He works to get cost of insurance down while
increasing the quality of services provided to the everyday
consumer. His goal is to have the consumer have a transparent
view of what they are paying for before they buy.
Obama wanted to make healthcare obtainable to everyone. He
made a marketplace and required everyone who could afford
healthcare to purchase some form of plan, if you did not buy
this plan you were slapped with tax penalties. His thought
process in this was more people will be in the marketplace,
making more money for insurance providers, and this will
ultimate drive down the cost of insurance. He made money
available to those who needed assistance with buying
insurance
Bush was in an economic downfall. He was trying to help

6. provide affordable healthcare to those who needed it, but the
money was not there to fulfill all his goals. He cut cost to two
of the most important insurance providers to Americans.
