President Obama won in a dispute over health care reform



Late on Sunday U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of a global plan to reform the American health care system. After a ten debates for this initiative voted 219 congressional Democrats, 212 Republicans voted against. Contributed to the success of the previous day by the President Obama that allocated to the health of state funds will be spent on abortion, except when the operation is necessary on medical grounds or following rape or incest. For pro-life congressmen of the Democratic Party, which belongs to Mr. Obama, this statement was a decisive argument for voting for the

bill.'s Promise to reform health care was a major during the election campaign of Barack Obama in 2008. "We have proved that there is still a people capable of great achievements. For most Americans, a dispute about health care reform was not something abstract, it is perceived very personally, "- told reporters yesterday the U.S. president.

Senior Research Fellow of the Institute of USA and Canada Andrei Korneev said, the Vremya Novosti that Barack Obama has" managed to push Bill, who voted only for Democrats: "But the fight is not over. Opponents of the bill or try to adopt an amendment that would deny its real power, or go to the Federal Court or the state courts to declare the law unconstitutional. The expert noted that in U.S. history, "this has not happened."

In the next ten years to reform will be spent 940 billion dollars previously, Mr. Obama assured, responding to critics that such costs do not lead to an increase in the budget deficit. U.S. national debt now stands at 14 trillion dollars Funding reform analysts attributed the continued increase in taxes, particularly on companies producing drugs and medical equipment.

The adoption of the bill is supported by such influential politicians like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Pentagon chief said that "health care reform will not have a negative impact on the health insurance of military personnel. According to him, not only the current military, but also their families and retirees will "get better health insurance."

The American health care system has not been serious reforms over the past four decades. As a result, currently 32 million U.S. citizens have no health insurance. The reason is that they are not able to buy such insurance, and for their employers, especially small business owners, employees medstrahovanie extremely expensive. "Small and medium businesses will be forced to pay insurance for their employees. This will lead to severe cuts staff by 40 - 60% or relocation of people on temporary employment ", - the expert believes the Vremya news."

According to the concept of Barack Obama by 2014 the number of Americans who secured health insurance, would be 95% (today it has 83%). It is envisaged that the value of insurance premiums would be limited, and prohibit insurers set limits on the value of treatment programs. The state intends to subsidize insurance for families whose annual income does not exceed 88 thousand dollars in insurance parents can be included children up to 26 years. Those who do not have sufficient funds to purchase insurance, particularly pensioners, will provide loans and establish preferential rates.

It's very important new provision, which prohibit insurers to deny insurance to people who have a disease or simply poor health, because their treatment can be expensive. "However, the insurance would not cover any of the emigrants, or the Americans, who have not completed the process of obtaining full citizenship. In addition, insurance companies, who will be able to implement the law in practice, not enough ", - believes Andrei Korneev. "If the U.S. economy will be on sustainable growth, the system will work - said the expert. - But if this does not happen, the law may well remain on paper.
