Healthcare Reform Finance The Healthcare reform act is a law that has been signed under the law, a new “Patient’s Bill of Rights”(HHS.Gov). This bill has been approved and implemented to allow for the American people to take charge of their healthcare. The Healthcare reform act will allow for one to have flexibility to make informed healthcare in regard to ones on healthcare. Healthcare reform is necessary for the American people to live long and healthier lives. Prior to this, the cat being signed into law, it had been identified that America has had a rise in healthcare costs, and the American people had limited resources and no access to insurance. For America to decrease the cost in healthcare it had to be mandated that all Americans must purchase a healthcare plan. By making a mandate and a law that the American people are required to purchase a healthcare plan is the first step for one as a consumer to take control of the health and to live a healthier life. The information will help determine whether implementing the law to ensure one has coverage will tell us if we are making an impact on healthier lives and a decrease in healthcare costs.
Research Problem Healthcare reform is intended to increase the health of the American people and decrease the cost of healthcare. Prior to the law the health care access and insurance coverage was limited, and there was a rise in unhealthy people. The American people had complained or have accessed health care with no way to pay the bills Part of Healthcare reform is to ensure the American people have health care coverage and begin to take control of one's health to live a longer life, which will ultimately lower the costs of healthcare.
Purpose of the Study The purpose of this research is to inform the healthcare industry how lowering costs in health care will impact healthcare organizations. This
