The topic is: Healthcare
The heading is: What is wrong or right with the major pillars of our healthcare system?
In 1965 the US Congress passed and President Johnson signed the Social Security Amendments of 1965 that gave us Medicare and Medicaid. The passage of the Social Security Amendments, popularly known as Medicare and Medicaid, resulted in one basic program of health insurance for persons aged 65 and older, and another program providing health insurance for people with limited income funded by state and federal sources, respectively. It was funded by a tax on the earnings of employees, matched by contributions by employers, and was well received. In the first three years of the program, nearly 20 million beneficiaries enrolled in it.
In 2009 President Obama successfully negotiated the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Joe Biden famously whispered into his ear: “This is a big [expletive] deal.” President Obama had to make to pass the ACA
And then we had COVID and everything changed – more people lost their jobs and their insurance and so many were sick and needed health care including many long hospitalizations. The American Rescue Plan passed in 2021 expanded the ACA but costs were high.
So the question is what is good and bad about these policies that are the major framework of the US health system? What should we change and why? Or are you satisfied and if so tell us what you think works in Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA?
