The Policy Process
The policy process begins with a problem that exists to provide a specific course of
action. This paper will explain the policy process and explain how the Affordable Care Act
advanced through the policy process stages. It is important to understand that policymaking is a
decision-making process. The policy process is made up of three phases: formulation,
implementation, and modification. Each stage in the policy process will be identified.
The formulation phase is made up of two parts: agenda setting and development of
legislation. Each part involves policymakers in engaging on decisions. The agenda setting has
three key variables: problems, solutions, and political circumstances. Problems emerge because
of trends eventually reaching unacceptable levels which policymakers compel to address
underlying problems through legislation. Some problems result in policy proposals because they
are sometimes linked to other problems that are already on the agenda. Sometimes problems
cannot be solved with just a solution to the problem, they sometimes require political force.
“Thus, the political circumstances surrounding each problem-potential solution form the crucial
third variable in creating a window of opportunity through which problems and potential
solutions move toward development of legislation (Longest, 2014).” It is said that interest group
lobbyist purchase votes from legislators to help move bills. Interest groups lobby and contribute
to political campaigns so that policymakers can spend time on issues that matter to them.
The next stage is the legislation stage of the policy process. “Congress is the legislative
branch of the federal government and makes laws for the nation (“Usa.gov”, 2020).” There are
two legislative chambers: U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives who can propose a
new law which is called a bill. The bill is assigned to a committee who researches, discusses, and
makes changes. It is then voted on by the chamber who proposed the bill. Once bill is passes by
