Senior Seminar- Affordable Care Act Final SubmissionJesse Berwanger
The document discusses the history of healthcare reform efforts in the United States and provides background information on programs like Medicare and Medicaid. It then summarizes some of the key provisions of the Affordable Care Act, including expanding Medicaid eligibility and establishing health insurance exchanges. The document also outlines some of the drawbacks of implementing the ACA, such as rising costs to providers, insurers, and the government.
This document proposes expanding Medicaid eligibility in Missouri to increase access to healthcare. It argues that expansion would directly help the estimated 300,000 uninsured Missourians below 138% of the federal poverty level. It would also indirectly benefit all state residents by improving health outcomes, creating jobs, boosting the economy, and preventing rising insurance costs and hospital closures due to uncompensated care. The proposal recommends expanding eligibility as originally intended by the ACA to increase access, improve health, and provide strong economic benefits to Missouri.
The document discusses the future of health care in America in the context of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It provides an overview of the ACA, noting both its benefits in reducing the uninsured population and increasing access to care, as well as its drawbacks such as increased costs and administrative burdens for physicians. The document predicts challenges on the horizon, including a potential physician shortage and increased fraud due to decreased reimbursement under the ACA. It examines trends in employer-provided insurance coverage and costs.
The document discusses health care reform efforts in several states inspired by Massachusetts' success in expanding health insurance coverage. It notes that Massachusetts combined an individual mandate to purchase insurance with government subsidies to ensure affordability. Several states such as Michigan, Washington, New Mexico, and Indiana are exploring adapting aspects of the Massachusetts model. Governors are leading state-based efforts to tackle rising health costs and expand coverage through public-private partnerships. As states continue innovating, it remains to be seen if their solutions could inform national health reform.
Denial of Life-Saving Medical Treatment in the Obama Health Care Lawnationalrighttolife
The document discusses rationing in the Obama health care law through several mechanisms:
1. The Independent Payment Advisory Board will limit Medicare funding growth and empower HHS to impose uniform standards of care. Doctors who exceed these standards risk losing insurance contracts.
2. Medicare limits and restrictions on supplemental private insurance will constrain health care options for seniors.
3. Insurance exchange limits will exclude plans deemed to allow "excessive" private spending on health care.
4. "Shared decisionmaking" groups receiving federal funds will influence treatment choices through decision aids emphasizing less or more conservative care.
The document argues these constitute involuntary rationing and constraints on individual choices, despite claims greater efficiency can avoid rationing
Universal Health Care in the United StatesShantanu Basu
The document discusses the current US healthcare system and theories of policy change. It analyzes how multiple problem streams, political conditions, and policy alternatives could converge to place healthcare reform on the policy agenda.

IHC -- Health reform: What it means and what's nextGalen Institute
This document summarizes key points about the current state of health reform and what may happen next:
- The Affordable Care Act aims to expand coverage to 32 million more Americans but 23 million will remain uninsured. It establishes insurance mandates and exchanges and cuts Medicare spending.
- While early benefits of the law are popular, the law remains unpopular due to concerns about higher costs for taxpayers and consumers. Up to 80 million Americans could be forced to change their health plans.
- Implementation of the law faces challenges through legal challenges, heavy regulation, and political debates during the 2012 election.
- Opportunities exist to reshape the policy debate and push for a more dynamic, personalized system that engages

The document discusses the history of health policy and reform efforts in the United States over several decades. It outlines key programs and legislation from the 1900s onward that attempted to address issues of access, costs, and quality of healthcare. The document argues that meaningful reform is difficult due to the complexity of the healthcare system and the many political and economic interests involved. Future reform efforts will need to focus on reducing costs while improving quality and access.
The document discusses deficiencies in the Affordable Care Act related to Medicaid eligibility and funding. It argues that Medicaid eligibility should be expanded to cover more low-income individuals and families. Specifically, it states that the eligibility criteria should be changed to just below the income level of the middle class. It also argues that the government needs to better manage healthcare spending and could generate new funding by legalizing and taxing marijuana, with states required to spend a percentage on Medicaid. This would help increase access to healthcare for low-income individuals.
The document discusses various aspects of the US healthcare system. It provides an overview of different types of health insurance plans including private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, SCHIP, TRICARE, VA plans, and IHS.

Peugeot being a millennium company and a family car that my Uncle Clifford Evans use to drive. I had to do a bit of research to find out what intrigued him about this car in the 80's. This is one of Europe’s leading cars that generates a useful CSR report on a yearly bases for all to observe.
Peugeot is a French automaker that has been in business since 1810. They produce cars, motorcycles, and scooters. The document discusses Peugeot's corporate social responsibility efforts, including job creation and community investment in countries where they operate factories. It also covers Peugeot's recent partnership with Dongfeng, which has helped improve Peugeot's financial performance and sustainability. While Peugeot has had success in markets around the world, the document considers whether a similar partnership could help facilitate their re-entry into the United States market.
The document describes the Chakra Food Pyramid, which is a systematic way of eating for total body well-being and good health based on the colors of fruits and vegetables. It assigns different colored fruits and vegetables to each of the five chakras and describes the health benefits of each color, such as purple foods helping heart health and preventing diabetes. It provides examples of specific fruits and vegetables for each color category. It also includes a section on "filler foods" that have nutritional value but are not always needed at mealtime.
Within this discussion assessment I will review and analyze the decisions made by the leadership of David the new Vice President of the Texas Plant. His decisions will be reviewed along with other team players Paula and Harvey, and weather their decisions benefited the company in any way
This document discusses several common payment mechanisms used in the US healthcare system, including Medicaid/Medicare, out-of-pocket expenses, and preferred provider organizations (PPOs). Medicaid/Medicare accounts for a large portion of US healthcare spending and debt. Patients are also responsible for out-of-pocket costs like co-payments that are rising faster than incomes. PPOs allow patients to choose providers both in and out of their insurance network, and these plans are becoming more popular for Medicare recipients. Billing and payment collection are essential to fund the entire healthcare system.

Toulmin Argument Essay
There has always been a rise in cost of the health care thus various individuals are trying to understand the coverage options for their health coverage which has led them to search for various health care packages to save money. Amongst the controversial alternative that will enable citizens to safe money is the single payer health care. In this health package, citizens pays taxes for various health care services which are being issued by the government to every gentleman, lady as well as the child. For some times now, this system has been used in United States. Medicare, Medicaid, local state government benefits, and federal employees’ benefits all use single funds, which use private delivery.
Single-payer health care system services is a framework in which the state, instead of private organizations, are responsible for all insurance bills. This system of health contract for medicinal services administrating from private associations and to public responsibility enhanced by state governments. Single payer enables the patients to choose their physicians and continue to seem them even if their financial status or jobs changes. There is no other health care services that can assure this. There is continuity of nurses and doctors, who have got to know the care about their patients, and also is critical to quality. These health care services are accessible and affordable to all. The single payer uses the savings from the administrative wastes which is approximately over $350 billion in a year for funding the coverage for all uninsured as well as improving the benefits to the insured Americans. Heath care which is delayed or denied due to cost or increasingly issues of the insurers refusing to coverage.

The Affordable Care Act gives Americans better health conditions by giving incentives and security set up of medical coverage changes that will, Expand scope, Hold insurance agencies responsible, Guarantee decision making, Lower services costs and Enhance the nature manning all Americans. The Affordable Care Act really alludes to two separate bills of enactment both by president Obamas administration. Both the bills grow Medicaid scope to a great many low-salary Americans and makes various upgrades to both Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Many nations in the world have single-payer health insurance programs. In Switzerland it is believed that the idea that health-care services should be paid for a.
This document provides an overview of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). It discusses the long history of healthcare reform efforts in the United States stretching back over a century. It also outlines the major components and provisions of the PPACA, including the creation of health insurance exchanges, expanded Medicaid eligibility, subsidies for individuals and businesses, and improvements to the quality and performance of the healthcare system. The PPACA builds upon but also differs from healthcare reform proposals put forth by previous administrations such as President Clinton's 1993 plan, which included a more regulatory approach with greater government involvement in the industry.
The document summarizes key aspects of the current US healthcare system and policies. It outlines the various public and private entities involved in healthcare financing, including Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers, and programs for veterans and native Americans. It discusses how the majority of healthcare is financed through public/private insurers and employers. The Affordable Care Act aimed to provide coverage for the uninsured. Future healthcare models may focus on reducing costs through telemedicine, accountable care organizations, and addressing patients' long-term needs.
The document discusses health care reform in the United States, known as the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare. It was signed into law in 2010 with the main goal of ensuring affordable health insurance is available to all US citizens. Key aspects of the law include prohibiting denial of coverage due to pre-existing conditions for those under 19 and allowing coverage for children under parents' plans until age 26. The law also expanded Medicare and added new benefits while fighting fraud and improving care. Both positives and criticisms of the law are discussed.
The document discusses health care reform in the United States and Canada. It explains that the development of health insurance in the two countries started to diverge, with Canada adopting a universal health care system while the US maintained a private system. The US has struggled to pass significant reform due to political obstacles, while Canada implemented a system of public administration and universal access. The document analyzes the different societal and political factors that influenced the diverging paths each country took with health care reform and policy.
The document discusses the history of health care reform debates in the United States. It provides background on past reform efforts and outlines some of the key provisions and goals of the Affordable Care Act signed into law in 2010, including expanding access to health insurance coverage and aiming to reduce overall health care costs. The document also notes that health care reform remains a vital political issue and that significant obstacles have prevented major changes since 1965.
This document discusses health care reform in the United States. It provides background on universal health care systems originating in Germany and Britain in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. It then discusses the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed in 2010 in the US, which aimed to expand health insurance coverage. The document notes criticisms of both the German and US healthcare systems. It argues the German system distributes care fairly through government involvement, unlike the US approach of developing mass assistance programs and stating government should not control them.
The ins and outs of the affordable care actJesseBouchard
The Affordable Care Act aims to provide more Americans with access to affordable health care through various reforms. It establishes health insurance exchanges to allow individuals and small businesses to compare plans, regulates the insurance marketplace, prohibits denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions, and expands Medicaid eligibility. The Act also aims to reduce health care costs and ensure Americans receive high-quality care.

The current American model (ACA) is based on private healthcare. Americans lack universal access to health, so they depend on private insurance for health care. There are three ways to get coverage in the US: through a job - companies with more than 50 full-time workers must pay for part of the policy - buying it individually or, in the case of people without resources and older age 65, through two public programs.
In the present year, 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has brought into sharp focus the need for health care reforms that promote universal access to affordable care.
About half of Americans receive health coverage through their employer, and with record numbers filing for unemployment insurance, millions find themselves without health insurance in the midst of the largest pandemic in a century. Even those who maintain insurance coverage may find care unaffordable. (King, 2020)
Before the pandemic, research showed that more than half of Americans with employer-sponsored health insurance had delayed or postponed recommended treatment for themselves or a family member in the previous year because of cost. The loss of jobs, income, and health insurance associated with the pandemic will greatly exacerbate existing health care cost challenges for all Americans. (King, 2020)
The pandemic has wreaked havoc on the country's health system but at the same time has exposed the serious shortcomings of the American health system. However, it should not be hidden that before this event a health reform was necessary in which universal access to quality care for all Americans was guaranteed.
An adequate reform could be based on the Canadian health model, much like the British health model. In both countries, the health system is financed by the government and is based on five principles: it is accessible to all regardless of income, it offers complete services, it is publicly managed, and it is universally accessible to citizens and permanent residents. However, in the Canadian model some services such as dental and vision services are not covered. (Thomson, 2012)
Clearly, no health model will be 100% perfect and mishaps may arise along the way that must be addressed and improved, but health is a right that all people must have and a country that is a world power such as the United States, with excellent management can achieve a quality health system that is truly affordable for each and every one of its habitants.

Hemochromatosis is a hereditary disorder where excess iron is deposited in tissues. It is caused by a mutation in the HFE gene controlling iron absorption. Most people do not experience symptoms until ages 50-60. Symptoms include fatigue and liver damage. Treatment involves regular blood removal through phlebotomy to reduce iron levels in the body and prevent organ damage. If left untreated, hemochromatosis can lead to serious conditions like diabetes, arthritis and liver disease.

Within this working essay discussion I will go over some of the pin pointed issues and problems of Memorial Healthcare System that caused them to have a loss within revenue. My position within this essay discussion is to take on the role of the consultant and re-configure the deficiency within the healthcare system and dynamics. In the beginning the changes worked out well but caused many of MHS employees to leave and find employment elsewhere which eventually put Memorial Healthcare System right back in the same situation and predicament of a loss.
This document provides an overview of Ayurveda fundamental principles from the textbook "The Ayurveda Fundamental Principles Volume 1" by Vasant LAD. It discusses the origins and history of Ayurveda dating back thousands of years to ancient India. Ayurveda views illness as a disharmony between body, mind and spirit. It aims to promote longevity through balancing the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) using herbal remedies, yoga, meditation and other holistic treatments. The document also examines key Ayurvedic concepts like the three doshas, agni, dhatus and srotamsi and their importance in maintaining health and treating illness.
The system of delivery within health care has always been on the change and rise due
to technology along with self-care, health care, development, education, and creating a healthy society. As the old saying goes, “where there is good health there is also good financial wealth” and this is where the formation of the ACA took place and a new integrated delivery system created.
In the coming years the United States will find themselves going through a number of changes within the Social Security Administration which will affect the Health Care Industry as we know it “Hospital size has long been an area of discussion and debate in the U.S. healthcare industry. Questions have consistently focused on cost management or efficiency in large versus small hospitals. A persistent question among researchers is whether efficiencies are associated with larger facilities through economies of scale, or if there are alternate scenarios that play a significant part in hospital cost and efficiency” (2009, JHM). Since the Affordable Health Care Act was established it made obtaining health care much more affordable and accessible, but at the same time there has to be some cut back.
This document discusses the distribution of healthcare resources in the United States. It addresses several key issues: the maldistribution of physician labor forces across geographic areas, with shortages in rural areas; the various care providers and healthcare services that are distributed; and the importance of ethics and values in ensuring quality care is accessible. The conclusion calls for ongoing discussions to address ongoing problems of unequal access to healthcare in some communities.
Introduction
The big business of health care is growing in a massive rate more now than ever according to The Center for Health Workforce Studies a non-profit organization located in Rensselaer, New York the organization report that, “While total U.S. employment dropped by over 2% between 2000 and 2010, health care employment grew by more than 25% during the same period. More than 13% of the U.S. labor force worked in the health sector or in a health occupation (19 million jobs out of 143 million jobs in U.S. labor force). The health care sector is projected to add over 4.2 million jobs between 2010 and 2020, with 63% of those in ambulatory settings (offices of health practitioners, home health, and other non-institutional settings” (2012, CHWS). Health care is booming in all areas of study and research from Holistic to Western Medicine which include purchasing and supply. Unfortunately this is based off the demand for more Physicians that are not available where there is a need. The health care industry believe it or not includes the food industry and health and fitness as well.
The matter of ethics within the health care industry always needs to be address along with the quality of care for patients. Within this working essay paper I will discuss the matter of; Care & Service Provider, Ethics (codes and values), Mal-Distribution Physician Labor Forces. Even though the health care industry is growing the mal-distribution of health care is still evident in some rural areas. This factor of not having proper care delivered to impoverish neighborhoods and communities is another issue that still plagues the United States. David Cutler the online journal reporter for PBS News Hour stated, “About 10, 15 percent. Just to give you one example, Duke University Hospital has 900 hospital beds and 1,300 billing clerks. The typical Canadian hospital has a handful of billing clerks. Single-payer systems have fewer administrative needs. That’s not to say they’re better, but that’s just on one dimension that they clearly cost less. What a lot of those people are doing in America is they are figuring out how to bill different insurers for different systems, figuring out how to collect money from people, all of that sort of stuff” (2013). The need for health care workers is great, but the balance is off regarding where the needs are not being meet.

Medicare Solvency
{Health Services Financing}
Abstract
The Medical, Medicare, and
Medicaid programs where installed
within the systems of the United
States to ensure that all had adequate
health care regardless of financial
status. “The Social Security
Amendments of 1965 resulted in the
creation of two programs to provide
federal health insurance: one for
those over the age of 65 (Medicare),
and one for poor families
(Medicaid). The United States finally
had its first public health insurance
programs” (CSU, 2016). Within this
discussion essay I will elaborate on
the status of the social security acts
that where established in 1965 and
the current state of the funds.

Introduction
Past President Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson enacted ACTS and
legislation to help the United States Poor to ensure they has proper health care insurance.
“The Social Security Act was passed by Congress as part of President Roosevelt’s
Second New Deal agenda. In signing the Act into law on August 14, 1935, Roosevelt
became the first president to advocate for and create legislation for the provision of
governmental assistance for the elderly at the federal level” (CSU, 2015). Considering
the new policies and new developments of the country to ensure that housing, food, and
work was also available. Time was surely of the essence considering it was the turn of the
century and the United States was implementing new changes and programs within the
United States.
Medicare Solvency is the ability of the country to pay for the health of the country
without becoming insolvent and leaving the poor without adequate health benefits. The
insolvency of the United States can be contributed to the fact of over spending on drugs
and other factors within health and health crisis. Even though ACTS where employed in
the 30’s did the United States really know that due to immigration, some form of poverty,
and the populations’ health crisis that the health care delivery system would lead to such
an issue within Medicare? Today you watch the first Lady Michelle Obama preparing
the Nation for what is to come if there is a insolvency within the Medicare Social
Security ACTS meaning: Take care of your bodies just in case the funding is destitute.
Within this discussion essay I will elaborate on the insolvency possibility and the current
solvency in the Now!
4. MEDICARE SOLVENCY 3
Medicare Solvency
Currently there is an issue within the United State Medicare program that will lead to
insolvency if the fund is not replenished as soon as possible. There is solvency where
patients care can be paid for, but if the population continues to remain un-educated about
the health and welfare of the nation’s medical conditions that puts them into a state of un-
healthy living and behavior then the insolvency condition will be a norm for the United
States starting within this year of 2016. “The trustees said the fund would last longer than
previously thought because ``expenditures in 2013 were significantly lower than the
previous estimate.'' They said changes to Medicare under President Barack Obama's
healthcare overhaul appeared to be creating "substantial savings.'' At the same time,
trustees for the country's Social Security program repeated their warning that Washington
would run out of the money needed to fully pay disability benefits by 2016” (CNBC,
2014). Rather this be true or not this should be a wakeup call to all whom are in poor
health to do their best to obtain ultimate health if possible. Currently the United States
can pay for benefits, but what are some of the other factors that contribute to the
depletion of the Medicare Fund? In the next paragraph topics I will discuss more in-
depth what the fund is! What is the current state of the fund! I will discuss current
challenges that the fund face.
What is the Medicare Trust Fund?
Many do not know that the Medicare program are actually two programs
within the United States of America. These accounts are
Hospital Insurance (HI) Trust Fund
5. MEDICARE SOLVENCY 4
Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) Trust Fund
Hospital Insurance Trust Fund pays for the benefits of employees, retired employees,
and business owners. This fund also pays for in-service and outpatient services of the
patients. Medicare part A is what they consider the hospital insurance
The Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) Trust Fund is a fund referred to
as part B coverage which pays for prescriptions and other services. Some people may
feel as though part B and D benefits are better options, but the patient or employee has to
pay more into the fund in order to obtain the services. “Medicare isn’t part of the Health
Insurance Marketplace established by the health care law, so you don't have to replace
your Medicare coverage with Marketplace coverage. No matter how you get Medicare,
whether through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan, you’ll still have the
same benefits and security you have now” (2016. Medicare.gov). The supplementary can
be somewhat considered an extra that can help alleviate any overhead charges or keep
you from paying out of pocket. Many consider it to be money in the bank.
What is the Current State of the Fund?
The current state of the state fund is not insolvent but solvent until 2030, but the
government along with Social Security are making cut backs to ensure that the funds do
not run out before then. One of the systems they use is called forecasting which gives a
report and budget on spending that the Medicare insurance fund will allow and dis-allow
for patients. This state funding also involves generic prescriptions vs brand names, and

dental work to be done. According to the Center of
Budget and Policies Priorities, “The 2015 report of
Medicare’s trustees finds that Medicare’s Hospital
Insurance (HI) trust fund will remain solvent — that is,
able to pay 100 percent of the costs of the hospital
insurance coverage that Medicare provides — through
2030. Even in 2030, when the HI trust fund is
projected for exhaustion, incoming payroll taxes and
other revenue will still be sufficient to pay 86 percent of Medicare hospital insurance
costs” (2015, Van De Water).
What is taking place even within the ‘Health Care Reform Act” is a depletion and
replenishing of the Fund or what you may call a reorganizing of the fund to find ways to
make people more self-sufficient and not so reliant on the Medicare Funds. I do believe
it was President Bush whom stated that people would have to open separate accounts on
their own specifically for medical reasons during the time they work. They could put as
much or little in these accounts during the duration of their employment. The good thing
about this is you could actually help a family member in need along with purchasing
private insurance so the two could work in conjunction with one another. This is a great
plan for employees to purchase private insurance that could be used after retirement and
the medical bank account that could only be used for medical purposes. President Bush’s
2004 state of the Union address he stated,”
7. MEDICARE SOLVENCY 6
“To make insurance more affordable, Congress must act to address rapidly rising
health care costs. Small businesses should be able to band together and negotiate
for lower insurance rates so they can cover more workers with health insurance. I
urge you to pass Association Health Plans. I ask you to give lower-income
Americans a refundable tax credit that would allow millions to buy their own
basic health insurance. By computerizing health records, we can avoid dangerous
medical mistakes, reduce costs and improve care. To protect the doctor-patient
relationship and keep good doctors doing good work, we must eliminate wasteful
and frivolous medical lawsuits. And tonight I propose that individuals who buy
catastrophic health care coverage, as part of our new health savings accounts, be
allowed to deduct 100 percent of the premiums from their taxes. A government-
run health care system is the wrong prescription. By keeping costs under control,
expanding access and helping more Americans afford coverage, we will preserve
the system of private medicine that makes America's health care the best in the
world”(2004, SUA).
What are the Future Challenges Faced by the Fund?
Some of the future challenges regarding the state of the fund is will everyone
accepting the policies that have been put in place. By 2030 there will be a new
system based off an old system of doing things; particularly business, and health
care. Healthcare is big business weather you be in the Holistic field or Western
Medical Field of the spectrum. Many of the other challenges that the patients
may face are prescription drug are booming within the United States whom some
call a pill farm. Many patients are reliant on pills and prescription drugs without
outsources or searching for alternatives for pain and illness. CBPP stated, “Some
additional savings can be achieved over the next ten years, however, while
preserving Medicare’s guarantee of health coverage and without raising the
eligibility age or otherwise shifting costs to vulnerable beneficiaries. Possible
measures include ending Medicare’s overpayments to pharmaceutical companies
for drugs prescribed to low-income beneficiaries, increasing funding for actions to
prevent and detect fraudulent and wasteful Medicare spending, further reducing
8. MEDICARE SOLVENCY 7
overpayments to Medicare Advantage plans, and ensuring efficient payments to
other health care providers” (2015, CBPP). One of the biggest challenges that the
fund will encounter is the total reduction of the account which they have already
projected to occur in 2030 with new policies in place to create a new
infrastructure which some say is part of the New World Order. This order will
make patients and Americans more responsible for their own selves and self-
sufficient lives. I would consider this to be a self-preservation system that makes
each person whom works take charge of their own health care benefits. I would
really have to say that the measures that Bush wanted to install would wing the
people off Medical and Social Security benefits. This is also why Bush enacted
the ADA Acts for the disabled to ensure that all can work, keep their dignity, and
be self-sufficient.
Now the sad part about this reconstruct of the Medicare Fund is the sure fact
that some will fall off and possibly not make it through due to not being able to
pay for health insurance based off solely not working or such horrific chronic
conditions will not allow them the ability to thrive. Between now and 2030 the
government is setting up a system of working and paying for self every step of the
way. Everyone must work regardless of disability and there will be a job for
everyone. Do I call this communism? No! Some people will make more than
others based off applying themselves through education and other factors like
creating a perspective for life. Within these next 14 years there will be an
urgency to get people within communities the knowledge that is needed to take
9. MEDICARE SOLVENCY 8
care of their bodies and to wing them off the old system and way of living
improperly.
Discuss the Factors that Have Created these Challenges.
If you know anything about legal aspects then you know within the legality of the
entire depletion of the Medicare system there will be some lawsuits to come in regards to
patients’ rights, billing, and also proper services. It really is not up to the doctor to say
who lives, who dies, and who gets services, but more or less the medical billing
companies and the insurance companies make up a major part of the decisions for
patients care. Within chapter 1 of Jones and Bartlett the authors stated, “Americans as a
society are quick to engage in lawsuits. Motivated by prospects of enormous jury awards,
people are easily prompted to drag alleged offenders into the courtroom because of the
slightest perceptions of incurred harm. Because private health care providers are
increasingly becoming more susceptible to litigations, risk of malpractice lawsuits is a
serious consideration in the practice of medicine” (2016, Jones & Barlett). Since
Americans are so use to having many free services given to them it will be somewhat of a
challenge to encourage patients to purchase private health care and supplement private
health care with the tax free medical savings account. This option would be actually
better because more services would be paid for by the patient, but creating the
infrastructure for this to happen is a birth in progress. The United States must create a
viable infrastructure where people can work then employees can buy into the plan. This
also creates an infrastructure where the young take care of the old over 70.

Conclusion
The reform acts and all the other legislations and ACTs that engross the entire health
care delivery system is a work in progress. From George W. Bush taking the initiative to
redesign the Health Care system to make the client/patients more self-sufficient and able
to do for self vs be reliant on a system that does not allow you to do for self when it
comes to the quality of care and the insurance carriers you choose. When you think
about the Medicare Fund depleting its self by 2030 some may think that catastrophe
events will take place and all forms of hades will be let loose. Well there may be some
form of mishap but there will also be order being created as well. This order will give
more adults an understanding of being self-reliant and taking care of one another.
“Health reform envisions that Medicare will continue to lead the way in efforts to slow
health care costs while improving the quality of care. The research and pilot projects that
the ACA establishes should yield important lessons. Until these efforts bear fruit, it will
be difficult to achieve big additional reductions in Medicare expenditures” (2015, Van De
Water). The Social Security Fund Trustees surely have a major of redesigning to do to
ensure that adequate health care will be readily available for all Americans that purchase
private health care and those who buy into the tax free account, but according to the
trustees the fund cannot go bankrupt, but in the light of things it will go bankrupt but
replenish its self in other ways through other methods, measures, and factors to develop a
viable system of health care delivery.

“To make insurance more affordable, Congress must act to address rapidly rising health
care costs. Small businesses should be able to band together and negotiate for lower
insurance rates so they can cover more workers with health insurance. I urge you to pass
Association Health Plans. I ask you to give lower-income Americans a refundable tax
credit that would allow millions to buy their own basic health insurance. By
computerizing health records, we can avoid dangerous medical mistakes, reduce costs
and improve care. To protect the doctor-patient relationship and keep good doctors doing
good work, we must eliminate wasteful and frivolous medical lawsuits. And tonight I
propose that individuals who buy catastrophic health care coverage, as part of our new
health savings accounts, be allowed to deduct 100 percent of the premiums from their
taxes. A government-run health care system is the wrong prescription. By keeping costs
under control, expanding access and helping more Americans afford coverage, we will

clearly state that the fund is not part of the open market place, but is an actually funded
program by the employees and business owners that must be replenished.
