본문내용

In March 2010, Congress passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to solve the problem that a large amount of Americans do not have health insurance plans. In 2014, Americans will fully receive benefits from the law. However, having health insurance plans does not automatically guarantee the high quality and access to health care. Regarding the quality of health care, America is far behind compared to many foreign countries. The U.S. still does not provide a universal health care system. The private health care insurance in the U.S. is still expensive. And, it is not certain if the price will go down even if this health care reform is successful. The health insurance policies are too complicated for consumers to choose a suitable plan. Even though the U.S. government is on the right track because of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Americans still deserve a better health care program.
