So, at the time of the Progressive Era, major changes that were made relating to public health care were regulation of the meat packing industry, as well as the regulation of the Food and Drug industries. The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 banned interstate shipping of impure food and deliberate mislabeling of food and drugs. The Meat Inspection Act of 1906 required federal inspection of meat processing to ensure sanitary conditions. Both these acts are still active, and they have really changed the way we eat and our standards not only with food, but also with the pharmaceutical industry. Although the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) was developed later, this was the start. In these ways, the reforms of the Progressive Era affect our everyday lives, in a good way. This was also the start of health insurance, which some regard as good and others say is bad. Take it however you wish.

Are republicans for or against obamacare?

Republicans, Democrats and pretty much everyone else is for Affordable Health Care in America. Republicans at the moment though are against the Affordable Health Care Act, more popularly known as ObamaCare, as enacted into Law.Although everyone on all sides wants Affordable Health Care and Affordable Health Insurance, there are disagreements on how to achieve it.AnswerRepublicans said no to Obamacare before they knew what was in it. Obama had a really good plan because he knew that congress would hate Obamacare. He made the bill 2,000 pages long, and gave congress only two hours to read it, that way they wouldn't know what was in it. Most democrats trusted Obama and passed the evil bill. The Republicans did not trust Obama and they all said no.
