The 1980\u2019s<\/h5>

NHE Increases & COBRA<\/h3>

By 1980, NHE accounted for 8.9 percent of GDP, an even larger leap than the decade prior. Under the Reagan Administration (1981-1989), regulations loosened across the board, and privatization of healthcare became increasingly common.<\/p><\/div>

HIPAA & Medicaid Expansion<\/h3>

By 1990, NHE accounted for 12.1 percent of GDP \u2014 the largest increase thus far in the history of healthcare. Like others before him, the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton (1993-2001), saw that this rapid increase in healthcare expenses would be damaging to the average American and attempted to take action.<\/p><\/div>

Extending Coverage<\/h3>

The history of healthcare slowed down at that point, as the national healthcare debate was tabled while the U.S. focused on the increased threat of terrorism and the second Iraq War. It wasn\u2019t until election campaign mumblings began in 2006 and 2007 that insurance worked its way back into the national discussion.<\/p><\/div>

The Affordable Care Act<\/h3>

When Barack Obama (2009-2017) was elected the 44th President of the United States in 2008, he wasted no time getting to work on healthcare reform. He worked closely with Senator Ted Kennedy to create a new healthcare law that mirrored the one Kennedy and Nixon worked on in the '70s.<\/p><\/div>

Since Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States on January 20, 2017, many have questioned what would happen with our healthcare system \u2014 specifically, what would happen to the ACA, since Donald Trump ran on a platform of \u201crepealing and replacing\u201d the bill.<\/p><\/div>

The Future of Healthcare<\/h3>

Hungry to notch a win on healthcare prior to the 2020 election, the Trump administration continues to push ahead on initiatives designed to reign-in healthcare costs. <\/p><\/div>
