We needed to reform health care because the cost is so high. Medical bankruptcies affected people all over the world . it is not for a perticular country .Rising health care costs threatened all types of patient & it consume the entire budget of his life . It made the cost of preventive care unaffordable. That sent many low-income people to the emergency room, raising costs even higher.
Three Main Reasons for Cost Are So High :
1) most of the cost comes from treating people over the first 10 days and last 10 days of their life
2) high health care costs is the rise of malpractice lawsuits.
3 ) less price competition in health care than in other industries
Since health care is so expensive, most people buy health insurance coverage.Companies can offer health insurance as an untaxed benefit . Those who don't have an employer-sponsored plan must buy individual health insurance. That's expensive.
My suggestion towars to control the cost of medicare & other areas :
1 ) The government would control the cost of doctor's fees , Hospitals bills & all kind of pathlab tests.
2 ) Health insurance companies would compete to provide the best and lowest cost packages to companies and individuals.
3 ) govt should introduce more Govt hospitals , labs & Medical college all over the place to maximise the competition .
4 ) Govt should also point out How many Dosctors needed as per their population density & working towards to achieve this goals.
5) Govt Introduce more manufaturing plants of medical euipments & medicine to minimise the cost in their own country.
