United States President Barack Obama am local time, 23, signing ceremony has been approved by the Senate and by the health insurance reform act. This Act required pending Senate vote "budgetary coordination" (House of representatives Bill for Senate Democrats to revamp the motion) and signed into law by Obama before formally implemented.
United States why health reform?
United States of "costlier" issue also highlights:
First, the United States health care system is the world's most expensive one, United States of total health expenditure accounts for its share of GDP is 17%, annual medical costs are up to 2 trillion, far higher than the rest of the world, but the United States is the only one in the developed countries did not achieve universal health insurance. United States currently has 50 00 000 population does not have medical insurance (mainly 65 years of age are not in line with the poor standard of medical reimbursement, nor employers provide commercial health insurance), still faced with satisfaction a lower quality of medical services, and not commensurate with the costly medical performance, namely, the health care system of low coverage, low-efficiency and high cost of these three issues.
Second, the United States for expensive medical fees make it commercial insurance or have poor elderly medical insurance and medical insurance patients also cannot afford, because even with insurance, individuals also have to pay a certain percentage. Health Economics has long proved that with insurance, will push up medical costs. With the rise in medical costs, insurance company or premium increase or reduction of insurance coverage, increased at the cost of the project, in short, will make heavier burden on patients. United States media called the spiraling health care costs. Obama to his mother, for example, many patients even with insurance, but in the last period of life, always worried that insurance companies will refuse to pay for various reasons, the more worried that many medical project claims cannot and will not be paid.
Low efficiency problem mainly to doctors and medical institutions. Currently, the United States physician spend a lot of time and energy to deal with medical insurance, medical and health care litigation matters. The current Medicare reimbursement system deficiencies and because on may face litigation concerns tend to let doctors have incentive to many unnecessary examinations and treatment.
More serious is that United States medical burden has become the United States economic stability and sustainable development. United States medical is the Government financial expenditure of the project, the higher education and defense spending, old-age insurance and poor health insurance has become the largest United States financial burden on administrations have a headache for this. United States medical insurance is primarily for employers to pay employees, which has also become a heavy burden of United States enterprises, and is considered the damage to the United States one of the main enterprise competitiveness.
In this financial crisis, Ford, General Motors, and other United States large enterprises have been because the burden of health insurance and unsustainable. Obama urged that United States medical system reform, no longer will the collapse of the entire United States. Therefore he will health care reform objectives are: to the sustainable development of the future United States to establish a new Foundation. This shows the Obama administration for health reform emphasis and health reform strategies in the United States.
United States medical reform should be changed?
Wide coverage and low-cost means, not only to expand insurance coverage of the population, but also to expand insurance coverage of medical projects, at the same time, also by means of control of information United States overall medical system spiraling costs.
