Health Care Reform

The new health care reform, known as Obama care is the health care paradox. Obama care makes people more responsible while it provides expanded and more affordable coverage and makes the system more sustainable.  Since the health care cost is so high, millions of Americans are uninsured. Now, with the Obama care nothing will change or interfere with the current health insurance that individuals have except the cost will be lower. Those individuals that currently do not have health insurance coverage will have the option to purchase one of the plans that are offered through Market Place.  Furthermore, an alternative option that I will discuss further is to have universal coverage. With the universal coverage, all Americans will have equal access to the health care coverage.

                                                 Universal Coverage

Universal health care system is government founded system. It is a program funded by the government by our taxes. The coverage is available to everyone who is willing to participate. According to Uninsured Crisis book, as estimated there are 40 million people who do not have health insurance coverage (2009, p.31). This number is only estimated to those who do not have any health insurance coverage. The number is even higher including those who are at risk of losing their coverage due to the rising costs. Moreover, the rising health care cost prevents also employers of obtaining health insurance coverage for employees. According to World Health Organization, “the goal of universal health coverage is to ensure that all people obtain the health services they need without suffering financial hardship when paying for them. This requires:

• a strong, efficient, well-run health system;
• a system for financing health services;
• access to essential medicines and technologies;
• a sufficient capacity of well-trained, motivated health workers” (2015, para.1).
