Health Care Policy

The debate over access to health care in the United States concerns whether or not the government should provide universal health care.

Medicaid is a health program for people and families with low incomes and Medicare is for people over 65 and disabled.

Universal healthcare coverage provides healthcare and financial protection to all citizens; however the United States has not adopted it.

There have been many changes in healthcare reform, but as of 2012, President Obama has introduced some of the most controversial changes.

The role of public health is to improve the quality of society by protecting people from disease.
