Good morning, everyone.My topic today is XXXXX.The United States is the only country in the developed countries that has not established a universal social health care system.Historically, the United States had launched a series of campaigns to implement universal health care again and again, but at last they failed.After the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, Americans had a strong voice for health care reform, So Obama regarded it as a focus of his work.After breaking through the resistance, the health care reform was finally approved by the congre in 2010.This report introduce this reform , it contains 3 parts:......let’s come to the frist part.
The U.S.health care system is based on commercial health insurance, supplemented by public health insurance.For the commercial health insurance, there are two situations, 1,Company buy insurance for their employees.2, employees will do this by themselves.For the public health insurance, It consists of three parts.Medcare:It is the insurance for the elderly over 65 and disabled people.Medcaid:It is the insurancefor the low-income families.CHIP:It is the insurance for minors.
Here are two pictures.The one on the left is XXXX.Of all spending, the spend of federal government and local government were the most, this caused tremendous financial preure on government.The one on the right is XXXX, We can understand that 13.4% of people in the United States still did not enjoy any health care, when they become ill, all expenses must be paid by themselves.So health care coverage had a lot of room for improvement.
Of course there were other iues at that time, The U.S.healthcare iues can be mainly claified into three aspects.XXX,XXX and XXX.The price of medicine in the United States were very expensive, which increases the burden on individuals and insurance agencies.There are many insurance agencies in the United State,each institution has its own policy, which increases the government’s difficulty in regulating the health care market.Even for the government’s own policies, some of them are outdated and cannot keep up with the rhythm of the times, limiting the development of thehealth care market.Due to the existence of these problems, a vicious cycle had gradually emerged among theService Provider, Payer, and the Patient.This had caused diatisfaction among the U.S.citizens.They often held parades to criticize the bad healthcare system.
If the situation continues to develop in this way, The U.S.government’s financial system will eventually collapse and the entire economic structure will become confused.Therefore, the health care system is in urgent need of reform.
At that time, U.S.President Barack Obama realized the seriousne of the problem and he reformed the health care system timely.
At 2010.03.23, Congre Paed Obama\'s Healthcare Reform Plan.This bill was the most important document that the United States had established in the medical field since 1965.
The goal of the bill was to increase the number of people covered by health care, reduce the price of medicines, and improve the servicequality for patients.Obama hoped that through his efforts, he would improv the quality of life of the American people and build a perfect American dream in the health care field.
The bill mainly consists of four parts: Coverage, Tax revenue, Insurance
Types and Fairne.The government can expand the coverage through the mandatory regulations ;
The government can increase the taxes in other fields to make up for the financial expenditure of medical care; The government can increase the types of diseases that are reimbursed to reduce the economic burden; and The government can eliminate the unreasonable regulations of insurance companies to ensure that citizens enjoy the fair medical insurance.Obama wanted to form a healthy care system through the measures above.
Through his efforts, Obama has achieved some succees.Such as :The number of people enjoying protection increased;unfair rules reduced;The price of medicines had dropped to some extent.
But this also had some failures.We all know that the American people believe in free competition,and they oppose the government\'s intervention in the market.However, Obama’s mandatory measures violated their beliefs clearly.So he received strong criticism from other groups, the President Trump even abolished some contents of the Obama’s bill.And due to the reduction of profits, some health care companies even withdrew from the US market, which reduced the US market vitality.But overall, the benefits of Obama reform outweigh the disadvantages, especially for ordinary people.
Both the government and society can learn some useful experiences.For the government, it should regulate drug prices and reduce the cost of treatment; harmonize the health care system and reduce unfair regulations; optimize the allocation of resources to make it utilized fully.For the society, more insurance companies should join the health care system to reduce government preure.Also social charities should provide free treatment for patients.
Obama\'s health care reform goal is:
To change a low coverage to a widely coverage
To change high-cost into low-cost,
ultimately, to provide universal affordable health insurance for the United States
