    In the early 1930’s, the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Organization led consumers to hospitalization and medical coverage under their own charter for everyone who sought coverage for one prepaid fee. Years later, other insurance companies, such as Kaiser Permanente began to offer coverage to consumers within their geographic boundary. However, health care spending is on the rise. Over the last couple of decades the expenditures have risen from 724.0 billion dollars in 1990 to 2,486.3 billion in 2009(US census, 2011). Today, we are a nation with Health Care Reform signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010, also known as the Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act (PPACA).…

    “The 4 percent increase from 2008 levels represented the slowest rate of growth in 50 years of measuring national health care spending. Much of that was the consequence of people losing jobs that came with health insurance. The recession had an impact on total health care spending in 2009. Many consumers decreased their use of health care goods and services partly because they had lost employer-based private health insurance coverage, and partly because their household income had declined.”4…

    Healthcare Spending

    Healthcare spending within the United States (U.S.) is continually rising. In 2011, U.S. health care spending increased 3.9%. The total for health care spending was $2.7 trillion; the largest amount spent in U.S. history. This figures out to approximately $8,680 per person. Although health care spending increased significantly, its share of national spending did not change in 2011. The portion of Americans’ dollars spent on health care remained at 17.9%. The share was the same in both 2009 and 2010 (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 2012). Considering that the portion of money spent toward healthcare has been at a constant for the past three years, it would seem that the amount being spent is right on target, and that is neither too much or not enough.…
