Abstract

GANDUGLIA, Cecilia. Health Reform in the USA. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2010, vol.70, n.4, pp.381-385. ISSN 0025-7680.

The United States of America passed early this year the bill enforcing their health reform. This reform aims at achieving universal insurance, cost containment and improving quality of care. The debate around this reform has been long and unable to arrive to an agreement between the parts. Even if the expansion in the medical coverage system does not reduce to zero the current degree of inaccessibility to the health system, these achievements could be considered a very important first step. Nonetheless, chances are that this reform will continue being as polemic as the negotiations previous to its conception.

Keywords : US health reform; US health care policy.
