Despite enormous attempts to create a meaningful, cost-effective medical system, the USA ranks lowest among developed nations in health care.
Congress has attempted to build an accessible health system with Medicare, Medicaid, Managed Care systems, The Affordable Care Act, and endless state-mandated systems. The total expenditures in studies, pilot programs, and administrative shuffling of billing and payment methodology the efforts have gained little, other than reducing the rates of inflation compared to the overall. national inflation. The exact calculations are buried in indecipherable tables, graphs, and higher-order mathematics
Robert Pearl M.D. in a recent poll, HealthCare Policy points out
three areas which dominate public interest are
1. Lowering cost.
2. Expanding Access.
3. Enhancing Mental Health Care.
It's clear from the results that healthcare remains a pivotal voting issue, a testament to the profound impact our healthcare system has on people's lives. At the same time, only 5% say it's their "most important" issue, which I believe reflects the growing societal and economic challenges Americans now face.
When it comes to healthcare priorities, readers (many of them in the medical profession) favored lowering healthcare costs (57%), expanding access (52%), and reducing bureaucracy (51%).
According to Pearl's poll, Americans do not see the President, nor which party is elected will affect healthcare.
