3.increased costs is the rise of chronic diseases ,including obesity.
4.U.S citizens have rise of health insurance policies and the quality of those are failing.especially last two years of their last stage of life.(about 32% of total medicare spending,much of going to physicians and hospital fees.)
5.health insurance coverages are uneven and the minorities and poor are undeserved.(59% of physicians acknowledge their patients have difficulty of paying for care)
6.The National Academy of Sciences found that among other high -income nations the U.S has a higher rate of chronic illness and a lower overall life expectancy.
