Week 5 EOC: Health Care Reform

Taking a quick look at the Census report that was provided to me, I could see that almost all the citizens in the United States are covered of some type of insurance. Whether it is the 82.5% of males that are covered by some type of insurance or the 85.8% of women, that concludes a large portion of our population in the United States. Now the question is if our nationality is affected of it. 66.2% of individuals are being covered by some sort of insurance. 55% of them are not even citizens.
I believe that the health care in the United States is trying its best with the demands that the population is asking for. With the numbers that are being shown, it seems to me that they are meeting the demand.
Each region has around 80% that are being covered by some sort of insurance. The true argument is directly buying private insurance. It shows that individuals, weather man or women, over the age of 65. Has the percentage of an average of 25%. Those individuals are able to purchase private insurance from income that is being provided by other means. Now the numbers to individuals that are under 65 is much lower. They are looking at about 7% to 8% OF American population. That is the type of health care that will solve health problems. Being under government care will only allow you to 20% of the cost to each performance. 80% of it will come out of pocket or some other way. Sometimes the health care that is being provided will not cover any of the practice.
Kids of infant till the age of 18 are being covered by some type of health care but again there are some type of regulations and restrictions. The argument is not that we are not being provided by health care but the argument is what we are being provided with.
