Reform Healthcare in America to a Socialized Model

Regardless of the best efforts to maintain health, regular health problems are still an integral part of life. Many of these injuries and diseases can pass without problems even if they do not receive treatment, but most people inevitably face occasional health problems that inevitably require attention. Proper response to this disease may involve going to a hospital to consult a doctor, and with this step the situation can be very complicated. The Importance of Current US Medical Problems The importance of US medical problems is particularly prominent in recent presidential elections.

In 1945, President Harry Truman proposed universal medical reform. He did not succeed in reform, President Johnson and President Obama did not succeed. In the United States, essential things will not change. To date, there are 237 million people in countries without health insurance. The United States spends 17% of huge GDP on medical care. This is about twice the amount that other developed countries pay for medical expenses. If you build an army with US healthcare expenditure, this army can win at the same time a normal war that conflicts with all the countries of the world (at least from the point of military spending).

Given the expensive nature of insurance - based medical care, the time has come to reconsider the health care system in the United States. One way of thinking for reform is to switch to medical care in Singapore. In Singapore, families purchase medical services and medicines using their own money. To guarantee that the service is cheap, the government's medical budget of $ 15 billion (3% of GDP) is mainly used as a subsidy for such services. Every month, Singaporeans need to deposit 7% of their salary into the medical savings account until a medical consultation is needed every month. If you are poor, you deposit your salary into your health savings account until the government is sufficient to pay your doctor's bill. As a result, Singapore's medical expenditure accounts for about 6% of GDP and 98% of households have access to healthcare, so Singapore keeps medical costs lower than the US and provides medical expenses to more people I will. Therefore, federal health expenditure is $ 0

Due to social reforms around the world, health care is becoming a big problem in conversation. Especially in the United States, there is currently a hybrid system of a single payment system that can provide privatized insurance to those who can afford it. This leads to a money-focused system of corruption, a good way to hire a large number of citizens. Is there a question as to whether Universal Healthcare is suitable for the United States?
