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 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.
