The current administration, headed by President Obama, has faced a lot of criticism the past year. All the problems the country has been experiencing landed right smack on his lap and he has not been given any wiggle room since then. There is, however, some good news. Despite all the troubling year the entire nation has had to contend with, the Obama Administration, in one way or another, has made insurance more affordable for the average consumer.
How so? In indirect ways, the administration has provided the consumers with opportunities to get more cash on hand. The most obvious way this was done was through the federal stimulus package. This was initially enacted by the former administration, with American taxpayers receiving stimulus payments. The amounts received by consumers were not much, but at least they were receiving something. The federal stimulus package continued with the Obama Administration – with major improvements. The current administration provided funds to bail out struggling corporations and the financial institutions to keep the economy afloat.
