    Health care costs have become a major issue in the United States, both socially and politically. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 50.7 million people, or nearly one in six U.S. residents, were uninsured in 2009 (Kaiser Health News, 2010).This is because the high cost of health care has driven the cost of insurance out of the reach of many Americans. Contributing factors to the continuing increase in the cost of health care are the generally unhealthy…

    some people believe; it is not just the unemployed or impoverished who have trouble getting adequate healthcare for themselves and their families. In fact, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), more than “45 million Americans did not have health insurance during the first nine months of last year” (Young, 2013). A staggering eight in ten working families cannot afford health insurance; and most are not eligible for public programs. Nearly 20 percent of the uninsured are children. (“The…

    Table 1 was information found when the CTSIP asked people from different income groups whether they had health care coverage. As income increases, the likelihood of not having health care coverage decreases. Those with an income of $15,000 or less had a percentage of 29.7% reporting no health care coverage. It is slightly higher than this for the $15,000 to $25,000 range (29.9%), and slightly higher still in the $25,000 to $35,000 range (32%). Then there is a sudden drop to 18.2% for those with an income of $35,000 to $55,000. From there, the percentages decrease further. The next table represents several reasons for not having health care and the percentages of those responses. The response given the most for not having health care coverage was because they could not afford it, with a percentage of approximately 32%. This information most likely represents the responses of those with the lowest income level. Other reasons include claims that the person is healthy enough to not need it, their employer not offering coverage, being self-employed and the cost being…

    As the book, One Nation Uninsured: Why the U.S. Has No National Health Insurance by Jill Quadagno states, “in 2003 45 million Americans, more than one out of every six people, had no health insurance”. Although the right to health care is recognized and guaranteed in the constitution of many nations; the United States is the only country that does not provide health care coverage to all of its citizens. The healthcare situation in the United States is only expected to get worse. As the Centers for Medicare and Medic-aid Services predict, “health spending will reach $2.8 trillion by 2011 — a staggering 17 percent of the gross domestic product” (Epsein 1). Many experts, such as U.S. Comptroller General David Walker, chief of the Government Accountability Office, warn that if there is one thing that can bankrupt America, it is health care.…

    Presently, individuals over age 65 are almost universally insured, while children and adults between 18 and 65 still suffer from high uninsured rates (7.6% and 19.9%, respectively; Smith & Medalia, 2014). Whites have the lowest uninsured rate at 9.8%, followed by Blacks at 15.9%, and Hispanics at 24.3% (Smith & Medalia, 2014). Additionally, lower household income is associated with lower rates of insurance coverage (Smith & Medalia,…

    The health care system in the United States has several major problems. Among all of them, insurance policy is the core issue. The Unites States is the only developed country, except for South Korea, that does not provide healthcare for all of its citizens (Farrell). According to the research, there are still 50.7 million people uninsured, which is 16% of the United States population (about one in six people), or the combined population of 25 average-sized states, such as Oklahoma, Connecticut, Iowa, Mississippi, and Kansas (Parker-Pope). The main cause is that the price for health insurance is too high. Many people are not able to pay insurance premiums and over these years the situation has been getting worse and worse. During the past eight years, insurance premiums have nearly doubled, resulting in health insurance moving farther out of reach for millions (Farrell; Klein).…

    Kaiser Family Foundation (2017) relied upon an analysis of census-driven data to understand the types of insurance coverage available and how each type corresponded to different sub-populations and socioeconomic groups. But while the organization`s analysis utilized economic-driven data for this analysis it also utilized a measurement known as “health insurance units”: factors which included economics but also calculated household eligibility by noting the size of the household in conjunction with employment and other identifiers (paragraph 1). Ultimately, the organization`s analysis revealed that the U.S. healthcare system is comprised of both private and public sources: those deriving from the government and those that are either privately purchased or acquired through an employer. Specifically, the Foundation (2017) identified five classifications of health insurance coverage: employer, private (non-group), Medicaid, Medicare, and Other Public. The Foundation also noted a sixth category—Uninsured—to identify the percentage of people who are still without insurance. The group organized this information by state and included in percentage form to make the data manageable and…
