1、 Presentation Content Good morning, everyone. My topic today is XXXXX. The United States is the only country in the developed countries that has not established a universal social health care system. Historically, the United States had launched a series of campaigns to implement universal health car
2、e again and again, but at last they failed. After the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, Americans had a strong voice for health care reform, So Obama regarded it as a focus of his work. After breaking through the resistance, the health care reform was finally approved by the congress in 2010
3、. This report introduce this reform , it contains 3 parts: lets come to the frist part.The U.S. health care system is based on commercial health insurance, supplemented by public health insurance. For the commercial health insurance, there are two situations, 1,Company buy insurance for their employ
4、ees. 2, employees will do this by themselves. For the public health insurance, It consists of three parts. Medcare:It is the insurance for the elderly over 65 and disabled people. Medcaid:It is the insurancefor the low-income families. CHIP:It is the insurance for minors.Here are two pictures. The o
5、ne on the left is XXXX. Of all spending, the spend of federal government and local government were the most, this caused tremendous financial pressure on government. The one on the right is XXXX, We can understand that 13.4% of people in the United States still did not enjoy any health care, when th
6、ey become ill, all expenses must be paid by themselves. So health care coverage had a lot of room for improvement.Of course there were other issues at that time, The U.S. health care issues can be mainly classified into three aspects. XXX,XXX and XXX. The price of medicine in the United States were
7、very expensive, which increases the burden on individuals and insurance agencies. There are many insurance agencies in the United State, each institution has its own policy, which increases the governments difficulty in regulating the health care market. Even for the governments own policies, some o
8、f them are outdated and cannot keep up with the rhythm of the times, limiting the development of thehealth care market. Due to the existence of these problems, a vicious cycle had gradually emerged among the Service Provider, Payer, and the Patient. This had caused dissatisfaction among the U.S. cit
9、izens. They often held parades to criticize the bad health care system.If the situation continues to develop in this way, The U.S. governments financial system will eventually collapse and the entire economic structure will become confused. Therefore, the health care system is in urgent need of refo
10、rm.At that time, U.S. President Barack Obama realized the seriousness of the problem and he reformed the health care system timely.At 2010.03.23, Congress Passed Obamas Healthcare Reform Plan. This bill was the most important document that the United States had established in the medical field since
11、 1965.The goal of the bill was to increase the number of people covered by health care, reduce the price of medicines, and improve the service quality for patients. Obama hoped that through his efforts, he would improv the quality of life of the American people and build a perfect American dream in
12、the health care field.The bill mainly consists of four parts: Coverage, Tax revenue, Insurance Types and Fairness. The government can expand the coverage through the mandatory regulations ; The government can increase the taxes in other fields to make up for the financial expenditure of medical care
13、; The government can increase the types of diseases that are reimbursed to reduce the economic burden; and The government can eliminate the unreasonable regulations of insurance companies to ensure that citizens enjoy the fair medical insurance. Obama wanted to form a healthy care system through the
14、 measures above.Through his efforts, Obama has achieved some successes. Such as :The number of people enjoying protection increased;unfair rules reduced;The price of medicines had dropped to some extent.But this also had some failures. We all know that the American people believe in free competition
15、, and they oppose the governments intervention in the market. However, Obamas mandatory measures violated their beliefs clearly. So he received strong criticism from other groups, the President Trump even abolished some contents of the Obamas bill. And due to the reduction of profits, some health ca
16、re companies even withdrew from the US market, which reduced the US market vitality. But overall, the benefits of Obama reform outweigh the disadvantages, especially for ordinary people.Both the government and society can learn some useful experiences. For the government, it should regulate drug pri
17、ces and reduce the cost of treatment; harmonize the health care system and reduce unfair regulations; optimize the allocation of resources to make it utilized fully. For the society, more insurance companies should join the health care system to reduce government pressure. Also social charities should provide free treatment for patients.Obamas health care reform goal is:To change a low coverage to a widely coverageTo change high-cost into low-cost, ultimately, to provide universal affordable health insurance for the United States
