Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This valuable handbook makes the U.S. health care system understandable, reviews the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or "Obamacare," describes past health care reform efforts, and covers the important organizations and people involved in U.S. health care reform. Why does the United States produce poorer outcomes for Americans in terms of health care than most other developed countries that spend a lower percentage of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on health care? Should health insurance be private or should it be managed by the government? The second edition of Healthcare Reform in America: A Reference Handbook addresses these complex and difficult questions and many more in its thorough treatment of one of the most controversial issues in contemporary American discourse. The work provides a broad introduction to the history and key issues in the development and reform of the U.S. health care system. It then addresses the recent passage of the Affordable Care Act and the myriad of significant expected changes due to the Act, thereby providing readers with information essential to understanding the current issues regarding health care reform. This work serves as a valuable resource to high school and college students as well as to general readers wanting to learn about the history and current focus of health care reform in the United States.

Download or read book Health Policy Reform in America written by Howard M. Leichter and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 1997 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This completely new edition of a best-selling text for practitioners and policy analysts alike tracks the increasingly important role of the states in U.S. health care policy reform and the experience that policy-innovating states have accumulated to date. The first part of the book deals with health issues common to all states. Chapter 1 shows how the states have, by default and design, become the "laboratories" of health care reform and reviews the challenges faced by the states in dealing with rising health care costs, declining insurance coverage of the population (about 35 million uninsured), and the transfer of programmatic responsibility in health policy from the federal to the state level. Chapters 2-5 deal with the states' policy competence and capacity and their role in managed care; health insurance market reform; and Medicaid. Chapters 6-10 examine the successes and failures of notable health policy reform efforts in Hawaii, Minnesota, Oregon, Vermont, and Kansas. "Health care workers, policy-makers, social scientists, and the general public have much to gain by reading this book". -- Choice (on the first edition)

Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Book excerpt: On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) became law, requiring most U.S. citizens and legal residents to have health insurance and establishing a state-based system of health benefit Exchanges through which individuals can purchase coverage, with financial support for those between 133--400% of the federal poverty level, and expanding Medicaid eligibility to those with income below that level. A number of provisions in the ACA require states to design and operate coordinated, technology-supported enrollment processes to assist Americans who lack access to affordable employer-based coverage in obtaining health coverage through Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or the Exchange. The law requires states to develop consumer-friendly application processes for these health subsidy programs, coordinate across them to enable seamless transitions, and reduce the burdens of application and renewal by minimizing the up-front information and documentation required to establish eligibility and instead developing procedures that tap available data from other sources.
