Introduction
High cost of the health care service is the major issue in the US healthcare system. The driver of healthcare spending is growing faster than the cost of other services. The use of innovation and new healthcare technology has resulted in development of expensive procedures. It can also create complexity for the healthcare system that leads to the waste of administrate role in the payment system and insurance. The consolidation of hospitals, that results in lack of competition and provides the opportunity for increased prices. High healthcare costs have created pressure on the strained fiscal situation and it is the primary driver for the long-term structural imbalance between revenue and spending.
Part I: Explanation of one of the three problems in the U.S. healthcare system using accurate evidence
The high cost of care is one of the major problems in the U.S. healthcare system. According to the annual report, the average healthcare prices have increased over the year and it has been found that the rate has become 15% higher as compared to the last 10 years. The healthcare system of the USA is complex and the cost is market driven. It is because of unregulated and high prescription drug cost and healthcare providers. The hospital care accounts to be 31% of the national healthcare cost. The administrative cost is cited as the cause for the excess medical spending (Papanicolas, Woskie & Jha, 2018). The healthcare of the US is highly complex and it includes separate rules, enrollment dates and funding for employer-based insurance. In every sector, consumers are among several tiers of coverage and managed care plans. The plan may not include pharmaceutical drugs and it becomes hard for dealing with myriad regulations about billing, usage and coding.
The American shell out is almost twice that includes pharmaceutical drugs for the industrialized countries. The high price of drugs is high in the US as compared with other countries of the world. The prices of drugs are government regulated and it is based on providing the clinical benefits for medications. The little regulation of the drug prices can result in high spending of people. The US private insurer can negotiate the price of a drug with the manufacturer through the services of pharmacy benefit managers. It is not possible to negotiate the price with manufacturers. The cost for caring that can lead to delay and it includes skipping services. The high cost of medical tests, treatment and care can have a detrimental impact among different groups of people. Uninsured adults and it is most likely to include some recommended treatment and tests because of the cost that adult with insurance. The high cost of prescription drugs can lead some people to cut back the medication in various ways for obtaining medication outside the clinical setting. Even few adults across gender and include members of the household have purchased medication outside the US due to high cost. It includes the notable differences across ethnicity and race.
The unexpected bills of medical are at the top list of the financial wo
y for the people of US and it can also limit for affording other medical facilities. The rate of inflation has raised cost for basic expenses that includes transportation cost and gasoline cost and as the result it has increased problems for having affordable expenses. US adults have unexpected medical bills and it have raised the concern of debt (Paoli et al. 2018). Americans have to spending the huge amount for money in the healthcare every year. It includes high insurance premiums, co-pays, high deductibles and pocket expenses and this is associated with the cost along with the wellness and health in the country. This is one of the reasons for rising healthcare cost is the government policy. The inception of the Medicaid and Medicare program can help people that are not having health insurance providers that can increase the price. The rising healthcare cost can be found in many United States. It includes cost structure conversation. The cost of healthcare has risen dramatically in United States over the past few decades. It has been found that service intensity and price has resulted in an increase of cost of pharmaceutical drugs. It includes factors that consist of cost increase and it may vary for care and health conditions.
The ambulatory care includes services like emergency room and outpatient services that has increased the overall cost of treatment. The government programs like Medicaid and Medicare have increased the overall demand of the medical services that has resulted in the higher prices. It has resulted in the increase of incidents of chronic conditions that have a direct impact on the increase in the cost of medical care (Keisler-Starkey & Bunch, 2020). People for avoiding the need for medical care and it include high costs that can be a problem for several years. People in the US have avoided or postponed medical care due to the concerns that have exace
ated the serious problem. The avoiding care has resulted in higher overall healthcare costs and it has caused delay for making treatable conditions costly to treat. The lack of transparency and underlying inefficiency can create difficulty in knowing the actual cost of healthcare. The cost of care is going up and it includes few details and creates complicated medical bills and it is not easy to know how to get the price. The outlawing surprise hospital and medical bills required transparency regarding the network.
The higher cost of the healthcare system has become an experience and it can
eak issues in national politics. US citizens have to pay a higher amount on a per capita basis toward healthcare. The higher expense is reason and this is because of expenses that are invested by Americans because Americans fall sick often. The common reason cited that includes the fundamental reason that lies behind the reason for making the sale of drugs expensive and procedures are expensive in the US. This has resulted in faulty regulations that allow pharmaceutical companies to earn more. It has impacted the affordability of medicines. The healthcare System of America is complex and this has resulted in creating the wide variety of paperwork and it depends on insurer. It results in a non standardized process and the cost can become more expensive (Mellinger et al. 2018). Americans can undergo the large number of diagnostics tests that are compared with other works. Doctors prescribe a wide variety of diagnostics tests to rule out the possibilities. It may happen that money spent even on the test is not required. It can result in exercising extreme caution that can tend to drive the medical cost higher.
Part II: Comparison & contrast of US health care system with that of another country
The healthcare system of the United Kingdom and the United States are represented to be extreme. It includes one the largest sector of public and later one of the largest public sector systems. The United States has to spend more on the services of health care that the United Kingdom. The UK has made a major investment in the healthcare system that has raised the expenditure to 8.4% while that is more that is 16% in the US. Healthcare in the US that is delivered by the providers of the public...
