Analytical American Healthcare Reform

p ANALYTICAL AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REFORM The healthcare system of the United States (US ) shows that there are many inconsistencies existing in its operations . It is well known that the technology and training in the medical field is far superior in the US than in any other country in the entire world (Barry and Basler 2007 . Such reputation thus influences the exodus of foreign medical graduates to the US to receive residency and fellowship training Parallel to that scenario , the US is also known to be an excellent venue for research in the biomedical

field because most of the laboratories are equipped with the state-of-the-art technologies . Thus another influx of foreign graduate students and postdoctoral research fellows migrate to the US to avail of such top-quality training . Unfortunately the exceptional status of medical and research training in the US does not positively influence the quality of healthcare that is delivery to its citizens . News critics have indicated that most of the funds have been allocated to medical training and research and only a small portion has been left out for basic healthcare

It is therefore imperative that the healthcare system of the US be comprehensively reviewed and redesigned so that it will be able to assist and provide support to the citizens of the US . The bureaucratic components of insurance companies should be removed so that the 50 million uninsured citizens of the US can avail of their much deserved healthcare services . It is unfortunate that the current healthcare system followed a socialized organization wherein only the wealthiest individuals who can afford to pay large amounts of money can receive the best quality of healthcare within the US . Even the Medicaid and Medicare government programs are difficult to apply for because the applicants needs to show that he is in extreme poverty , hence not all poor people can avail of healthcare support . It will then be ideal if a universal healthcare system be established...
