According to the poll conducted by the New York Times and CBS News, many adults in the United States trust their federal administration should do more to allow more people to have access to medical services. Over 62% of the people believe the government should guarantee health insurance for all Americans.
Health care in the U.S. is based on a system of remuneration given by employers, with the Medicare and Medicaid programs which assign health insurance for the elderly, disabled and poor. Around 45 million Americans are uninsured.
George W. Bush, the U.S president signed new health legislation in December 2003.The $400 billion U.S plan is considered as the largest expansion of Medicare, and generates a prescription drug benefit for the first time. In average, a person 65 and older spends $1,644 U.S a year or $137 U.S a month-in medicines. This particular rule came to effect this year.
Bush discussed the part of the federal government in the health care system on Jan 11 in Kentucky, saying, "There is a philosophical struggle in Washington on this concern". There are several decent people who trust that the federal government should be the decider of health care, not just for the elderly, not just for the poor, but for all people.
Health care system is one in which there is a direct connect between provider and customer, where there is precision in the pricing system; where there is transparency in the pricing system that is modern and flows; and in which the people held to account for medical errors, but not to the point where the cost of the medicine has gotten out of control.
