Health care in the United States is one of the most controversial topics of the political world in the United States. The health care system is provided by businesses and/or organizations in the private sector; only about a fifth of the hospitals in the United States are owned by government organizations.

Health Care and Insurance Information

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the United States spends more on health care per capita and as part of the GDP than any other country. The health care system is considered to be very inefficient (46th out of 48 countries in a Bloomberg study), and the costs have been high. Almost 20% of the population will be uninsured until the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) comes into play in 2014, which hopes to change many of the above statistics.

Health insurance in the United States comes from a variety of sources, such as private insurances, social insurance, and social welfare (funded by the government). It helps to reduce the costs of insurance for those who may not be able to afford health care costs. Not everyone in the United States is eligible for affordable insurance at this point, however, and due to the increasing costs of health care, more and more Americans have opted not to purchase health insurance. The hope is that the Affordable Care act will help to assist more Americans with obtaining affordable insurance.
