He believes in universal and mandatory health insurance coverage for all citizens. As for actual health care, I think he realizes that it is too expensive in the US and that costs need to be contained. However, I do not think he has any plans to do anything about health care costs.
The proposal with the Public Health Insurance options was that the US government would create a health insurance agency to compete with other health care agencies. The health care agency would be run by the government.
This depends on where you live and your chosen Health care provider (I am assuming you are in THe US) You will have to ask the health care provider
In 2009, sixty percent of US employers offered health insurance for their employees. Because of the changes with the government's Health Care Bill, that number will likely change.
No, not everyone has health care insurance and those who do have to pay for their insurance. However you will always be treated if you go to the emergency room, except it'll cost you a bundle.
It is not mandatory, in the United States as a country,to carry auto insurance, but in most states it is a law.
In the United States approximately 2/3 of the population has health insurance. Only about 20% of those uninsured do not qualify for private insurance. Most states have formed Health Insurance Risk Pools that will insure these individuals. Te democrats keep telling us that health insurance is unattainable or not affordable. That is not true. Most people can afford health insurance the instead decide to buy that extra car or plasma television or weekend home. I agree with Mrs. Clinton's proposal on some points. Health insurance should be made mandatory. In doing that they will have to force companies to take everyone that applies. It will change the way people view their health. I think it will be as helpful as mandatory liability auto insurance. There are many sites a person can go and get competitive quotes for health insurance.
Actually for the care you get it is cheaper than other countries
One can get long term health insurance in the United States from LTC Insurance and AARP Medical Insurance. One can also get long term insurance from Long Term Care and Kaiser Permanente.
Since the Portable Health Care Act (Obama-care), Managed Care is replacing Private Insurance. However, people still resent managed care programs.
Some companies that offer affordable health care are Blue Cross and the CHIP program. Blue Cross is an affordable health insurance company for adults with low paying jobs .The CHIP program insures children from broken homes that have no way of receiving insurance from their parents.
Obamacare as we know it now will impose a $3,800 tax on a family not covered by health insurance.
