United States health care reform is finally upon us? (1)

Latest message indicates that, due to the holidays approaching, United States Senate's decision to test the United States medical reform programme deadline from Christmas Eve to the morning ahead of time.

If no accident had led the people protest of Obama's new deal reform will finally upon us, it will be this year's United States persons received a Christmas gift.

Motion in the Senate passed, and the House of representatives on November 7, adopted version of the compromise reached a compromise, the final version to Obama signed.

By then, the United States will enter a whole new era in medical insurance, and Obama will name historians.

United States existing healthcare system of medical insurance costs rising and tens of millions of United States persons not entitled to Medicare.

Data show that in recent years, the United States Government annual input of Medicare funds up to $ 2, 000bn (17 per cent of GDP, above), but there are nearly 50 million people (16 per cent of the total population) have no medical insurance. United States Government expected that future medical expenses average annual growth of 6.2 per cent. According to this trend, by 2020, the United States revenue would be difficult to pay huge medical expenses. Therefore, the reform of the existing health care system is imminent.

In fact, the United States health care reform is not new Obama, history, Truman, Roosevelt, Clinton, President of the United States have attempted to advance, but all ended in failure.

1945-November 19, Truman was first proposed in Congress national medical insurance programmes that have been resisting, subsequently, Roosevelt, Clinton attempted to restart the reform have not been successful.

Health reform difficult to the blue sky, this involves millions of health care reform since Truman era blockage, has been in a deadlock condition. But "change" under the banner of Obama has picked up this initiative root hard nut to crack bones, vowed to push health insurance reform: "if he can complete Medicare reform, even when the term President is willingly. "But his health reform programme, namely the choice facing all kinds of obstacles. September 9, Obama in both houses of the joint meeting of emotional, health care reform in the United States has nearly a century, but the Government has failed to achieve its objectives. "I'm not the cause of the first President, but I was determined to be the last one," but he's not only this to say, on the contrary, it has not been understood to 12 September million people marched in protest.

This is known as nearly 60 years, the most radical reform motion of medical content three: universal medical insurance, lower costs, reduce the deficit.

It is this point had been United States half of public opinion generally opposed. Around the medical reform, democratic and Republican parties struggle between is also very intense. Debate focused on: national medical insurance will impact the "free market" in the United States values; reduce Medicare costs would increase people's tax burden; to reduce the deficit and the launch of this colossal health reform plan itself will increase the deficit.

In Obama's mind, Medicare is every citizen should enjoy the right of the United States, but many people think that this is "Socialist" ideology, worried about Obama's universal health insurance becoming open a door of socialism.

The Republican party is the use of ideology and the Obama administration.
