is true that the reform of the health law in United States us is far away, but why not leave we arouse some curiosity to see how is facing one of the more difficult the country that boasts of being the first world power, but has historically put price to health. After United States the House of representatives approved its version of the law. By five votes, everything has to be said. We are, for the hair
In Spain know United States much more of what we should be with this great animated encyclopedia which is Hollywood, who does not remember movies like John Q?, in it, a desperate Denzel Washington decides take hostage to the members of a hospital and thus achieve a heart for his son, who does not have secure physician.
film examples of unfairness which is the current American health system there are many. However, a movie that I loved, because explains the causes and reveals the ins and outs, Sicko, the controversial filmmaker Michael Moore. I highly recommend that her you see, not only to understand how the current system, but to understand the scope of the reforms proposed by Barack Obama.
Health care reform is proving as controversial because it will profoundly transform a sector which accounts for almost one-fifth of the country’s economy, according to the model of private insurers. In United States the majority of the population is covered by a private health insurance provided by your company, but with this system approximately 45 million people. Among them are underemployed, persons with work of low-skilled persons without resources or immigrants illegal.
One of the main measures included in the reform of this law is the prohibition on private companies refuse to customers already sick, because not everything is so easy today as paid health insurance, but that it must meet a series of requirements so that the insurer will accept. Incredible, but true. This is explained very well in Sicko.
Another key passes by the obligation of all citizens to employ a policy of health for the avoidance of anyone without coverage, and it is here where arose the introduction of a public subsidy to low-income people can cover the cost of the private policy. The text also contains the call public option ”, which passes through an expansion of public health that it will allow to choose between hiring a private or a public plan. Also increase up to 27 years the age of dependent children covered within policies of their parent.
As you can see, is not a panacea, particularly accustomed as we are in Spain to a Social security system, although many times we complain, not allowing that nobody is left without health care. Shall in addition, if you managed to read between the lines, you give account of United States illegal immigrants will continue without being covered, that does not count in any of the aspects set out above. It will have to wait and see to what extent this new plan improves the health system of United States, today the worst in the world developed.
