Three roles of the U.S Government in the health care system and in health insurance are provider, payer and lawmaker. The Government are the providers of healthcare services. Some of these healthcare services include Veterans Health Association, Medicare, Medicaid and they support research into new healthcare. The Government are the payers of the third party services. The two main kinds of third party services are private insurance and government programs. Lawmakers make sure there is fair competition and that they protect the public. To ensure fair competition they made laws. To protect the public they created laws such as Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act created (FDA). This sets quality standards for drugs, medical devices, food and cosmetics.

Private insurance is regulated by the Federal government. Some examples of how the federal government regulates private insurance is HIPAA. HIPAA gives you the right to your own health information and lets you set who can see and receive your health information. COBRA is another example of private insurance regulated by the federal government. This protects employees in case of loss of job or work hours and allows employees and their dependents to keep their health care benefits.

Response to the post-

Yes i completely agree with your views as i also think that government play these tri roles in healthcare system in the US. As provider, Medicare and medicaid are the great examples of support of government in US. Under medicar and medicaid by covering health of US citizens especially people above 65, people with disability and low income. Government offer health coverage at low cost. Even Government provide millions and billions of funds in development of healthcare related discoveries.As payers, Government reimburse Third party providers so that they can offer high quality healthcare services to people. Government definitely lawmaker because they make laws so that administration and governance of healthcare system can be legal, ethical and transparent. HIPPA and COBRA are two great example but i think Obamacare or we can call it ACA is truly remarkable act in healthcare system to provide health services at very low cost to US citizens.
