Health Care Access Problem

Introduction

Many U.S. citizens are not happy with their health care system. Even people, who are covered, think that the US medical system is broken. Now the challenge for government is double: they have to find a way to cover all their people; and they have to understand how to get improved value for the dollars they spend each year. So, what to do? The answer is turning to what the economists call rationalizing the health care system.

Over the years, each presidential candidate in the election were committed to improving medical services and reduce costs, but once they enter the White House, the reform would be for large pharmaceutical companies to prevent and, ultimately, their vast wealth and political decisions remain under the threat of influence. High premiums to more than half of small business' employees cannot afford the insurance. High medical costs have led to large U.S. companies at a disadvantage in international competition. In the past 5 years, government paid the insurance companies to cover the losses and maximize profits for some of the fastest growing health care practices (Himmelstein, pp.741-746).

In health care, Obama advocates funded through the expansion of loan repayment efforts, to provide appropriate compensation, to carry out training courses to ensure that health care work force to improve and support infrastructure to improve the working environment. Barack Obama made the most massive reform than any U.S. president may proceed, creating a health system accessible to all citizens. He did so from a different approach, not as a social need, which is so outrageous, but as an economic emergency, as an essential step to evaluate government accounts.

Discussion

United States is the biggest, most diverse society on the earth, and their medical system also reflects that. They spend approximately two trillion dollar per year on health care; around one in every seven dollars in the economy, yet they are still one of the few nations where all citizens don't have medical coverage. Insurance of Health is an incentive mostly attached to the job of many Americans, or it comes as a result of the programs by government such as Medicaid and Medicare. It is ironical that America, a state that spends most money per capita on health care, and has the most advanced technology in medicine, is not the healthiest society on planet. Obviously, the medical system is not everything to blame.

As a society, they are more stressed and less active than the people of other countries. But the real health care problem is that: American health care professionals know how to keep their people healthy, but sometimes they can't treat patients the way they need because the medical system gets in their way. The U.S. medical system is highly uneven, with complex rules and a mixture of public and private bureaucracies that choose which patient would have what treatment. A U.S. doctor has to be a mastermind to know the rules for treating each patient without getting questioned by the insurance companies (Cunningham, ...
