Health Care

Healthcare is the treatment , preventions and management of diseases . It is also the preservation of mental and physical well being . Healthcare entails palliative , prevention and curative intervention . This research is about health care in America . Its main focus will be to establish whether Americans have access to cheap and quality healthcare and whether patients get the attention they deserve from the physicians when they go to hospitals . This will try to find answers to all these questions

Forty years

after medical care and medical acts were passed , and after Clinton 's administration failed to provide health care to all parts the American health care funding system is on the verge of breaking down The health care bill is growing six times the rate of inflation and employers , consumers and the government are finding it hard to provide free healthcare to all people . Its citizens cannot get quality health care for les . Businesses can 't afford to provide health insurance to its employees . They share the cost of hospital bills with their clients and thus forcing employees to dig deeper in their pockets

This makes people to assume that their families will not be attacked by diseases . It is not their wish not to have health insurance cover but the problem is that they cannot afford it . About forty five million do not have access to the health insurance cover and therefore they have no other alternative but to frequent hospital emergency rooms for regular medical check ups . The government is projected to be unable to provide healthcare to its citizens if the expenditure growth rate continues to increase at the rate at which it is growing now

According to a survey that was conducted by the Kaiser foundation and the health research and educational trust revealed how health care insurance premiums in 2004 jumped at an average of 11 .2 . This was an increase from 2003 's results . In 2003 , the insurance premium were at an average of 13 .9 percent which was more than five times the inflation rate (Mayes R , 2006

According to the same research the USA government spends about 5 ,000 dollars per person in providing healthcare . This amount is twice the amount that is spent by other industrialized countries . A country like Canada which is already industrialized spends 60 less when compared with America 's and yet its citizens have longer life expectancies

In 2003 , the number of people without health care coverage was more than forty five million . This was an increase from that of 2002 California is one of the states that have so many uninsured populations 18 .2 of its population or about 6 .4 million people are not covered Working families are experiencing the increase of health care cost in double lights . The cost of paying doctor visits and for meeting the prescription has gone up beyond the Americans capabilities ( HYPERLINK "http /www .pnhp .org " \t "_blank " www .pnhp .org
