A 42-year-old laborer who has chronic kidney disease is denied insurance coverage. c. Jamie, age 24, cannot continue insurance coverage on his parent‘s insurance since he has graduated from college. d. Maria, age 60, is able to obtain health insurance at a rate that is manageable on her income. ANS: D The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is being phased in over several years. There are positive and negative aspects to this act, and many people have strong opinions about it. Since 2013 there have been insurance exchanges, along with requirement s for uninsured people to purchase health insurance. Starting in 2015 people who have failed to purchase health insurance are being penalized on their income taxes. Provisions in the bill now prevent denial of insurance to those with preexisting illnesses who formerly could not buy health insurance, and young adults have been allowed to remain on their parents‘ insurance through age 26. Starting in 2013 affluent people began paying an extra 3.8% tax on unearned income; drug manufacturers and the insurance i ndustry are paying large annual fees to help cover the overall costs. Costs of the Medicare program will be contained by reducing payments to hospitals and health care providers. As coverage under the Affordable Care Act has expanded, the national uninsure d rate has fallen from 16% to 11% of people under age 65 (people over age 65 are generally have universal coverage by Medicare). People who have benefitted the most from this coverage include people ages 18 -34, blacks, Hispanics, and those living in rural areas (Quealy and Sanger -Katz, 2014). It is expected that the emphasis on prevention and coordinated care will produce a shift in nursing from the hospital to the community. There are many controversial parts of the bill, and the country is divided about w hether the bill should be repealed and other health care legislation written. What happens in the Congress in the coming years will determine if all parts of the legislation will remain.
