Pursuit of profit and wealth should not be in a field that is meant to care for others; companies and corporations are maximizing on patients’ misfortunes and are therefore shortchanging the quality of care in order to get the most money. This was warned by Maimonides in 1190 AD when he said “Do not allow thirst for profit, ambition for renown, and admiration to interfere with my profession for these are the enemies of truth and can lead me astray in the great task of attending to the welfare of your creatures” (Nelson, Alan).

The big improvement allowed many people to be insured under the health care umbrella, they argue. Furthermore, ACA has drastically reduced the amount of people without health insurance in half a century. Despite the growth of people insured with Obamacare, the latest study by Moody’s Investors Service claims that nonprofit hospitals under this expanded Medicaid are unsatisfied with the results thus far. Instead of a result of reduced debt and monetary progress at hospitals, they face unpaid bills, and Americans paying out of their own pockets, the study says.

Many Americans were led to believe that the introduction of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2009 would put an end to disparities in health care access. While it did improve the situation for a small percentage of the population there are still many Americans who lack access to good quality health care.
