Health Care

Can We Afford It?

The Republican critics have argued against health care reforms. Meaning that the U.S can't afford to add trillions of dollars during its tough economic times. During the next two decades the awaiting bills would be reduced by a small amount for reforms that will decide how medical care is paid and delivered.

Over 46 million Americans don't have health coverage, millions have a small coverage quality meaning that an extremely bad ill threatens bankruptcy. Those employers who do have insurance they worry that if they get fired they will lose their coverage.

House of Representative and Senate will cover up to 30 million Americans that do not have insurance. Those trillions of dollars are still lots of money, but the tax cuts for wealthy people would most likely cost $4 trillion during the next decade.

House and Senate bills have many ideas that can help lower cost over time. For instance, standardized forms and automated claims could save billions of dollars. This would also help help the doctors because it will prevent them from costly treatments that may not work.

No. This debate is not over yet. Many of these amendments will punish hospitals that infect their patients. House bills has many measures that could help reduce costs and could be constituted into a final bill. This meaning that the government has the power to negotiate lower drug prices for Medicare.
