As continued from the first post, regarding this book, more political views in relation to pros and cons of the health care system are discussed. I always thought that finding the expected cost a person's medical bill was something hard to configure, based upon labor of the health care professions and the tools that would be used during the said procedure. Yet, in reality, the calculations of this is really based off on where we are a society today, and our age.
Most young people, do not have a large history of medical records, which attracts health providers that seek to give them a lower co-payment if they were to end up in a hospital for whatever reason. Because of where we are as a country in relation to health insurance, a lot of elderly people are either not covered, or are covered with payments that are high, based off their previous medical records that show that they have had an abundance of complications.
In order to change this problem, Medicare has been implemented into our health care system, as well as that of thoughts of equal coverage for all citizens for the United States. The con to ensuring that every one is treated equally in the health care system, is that insurance would have to be paid through federal taxes, which means the cost of taxes, and what working individuals give to the government, will increase significantly. There are simply not enough people working in our country, therefore not every pays taxes- to the contrasting fact that everyone needs medical attention at some point in their life, and it must be payed for, in some form.
