Entering the end of this novel, Hoffman spoke a lot about today's healthcare system and how there are still improvements that need to be made, to ensure that all individuals are adequately available to have insurance. Though Medicare and Medicaid are both widespread amongst our country, not every person is available to receive this form of assistance. Like any other government provided system, to its people, there are stipulations and rules that either allow a person to receive benefits or be denied. Hoffman states that the political side of healthcare continues to become more indecisive with how it will and can be affordable to everyone.
Seeing as though, Medicare is for the elderly, individuals who are sixty-five years or older, and Medicaid is for low income individual who must also provide personal information, such as their parental status, age, gender, and race- the conclusion that nearly over half of America's population is unavailable to receive either form of assistance. Because I have individuals in my family who cannot afford medical insurance, this subject hits "close to home". I feel as though a widespread healthcare system that isn't so limited, would benefit not only the people of our country, but the medical system, as well.
