Research Notes on What is the Obama Health Care Reform
Obama's Health Care Reform is focused on providing quality, affordable health coverage for all Americans. Lowering costs, improving quality, promoting prevention, and strengthening public health are other goals of the reform.1 It is estimated that more than one trillion dollars will be needed to pay for this health care reform plan to help the fifty million uninsured individuals in the United States. Currently, the government sponsors health care for individuals with low-income, disabled, and the elderly. The majority of Americans with insurance rely on private insurance received through employers.2
Fast Facts:
- Obama intends to lower the annual rate of pay increases for Medicare, reduce hospital subsidies for treating uninsured, and improving prices for Medicare Part D drugs to increase the funding for the reform.2
- In the first year, the reform is going to attempt to control the rising cost of health care, guarantee choice of doctors, and provide high-quality health care for all Americans.3
- Insurance premiums for employer-sponsored health insurance plans have doubled in the last nine years.3
