Problems behind U.S. Healthcare

![Page 5: The Patient Protection and the Affordable Care Act Maggie Baxter, Maggie Hatcher, Elizabeth Glisson, Katie Rary, Caroline Romano, and Katherine Whitmore](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1ad87f8b9ab059973abb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
High Cost of U.S. Healthcare
• U.S. spends more tax money per capita on healthcare than any other country.• In exchange for these taxes we still get no healthcare
• Only 28% of American’s get their health insurance through government programs
• 18% of it’s gross domestic product on healthcare costs• Australia by comparison spends 9%
• Why?• EVERYTHING HERE COST MORE• Examples: surgical procedures and pharmaceuticals
![Page 6: The Patient Protection and the Affordable Care Act Maggie Baxter, Maggie Hatcher, Elizabeth Glisson, Katie Rary, Caroline Romano, and Katherine Whitmore](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1ad87f8b9ab059973abb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So why are we spending so much money?
• Some may say the obesity epidemic leading to more health complications
• Malpractice and defensive medicine • Ordering unnecessary tests
• Careers• Healthcare providers are paid more in the U.S.
• Insurance and administrative costs• Pharmaceuticals

High Cost of U.S. Healthcare
• In the U.S. we do not have that centralized negotiation or leverage to make decisions with the people providing health care
• Hard to put a price on not dying • We are spending more money to keep people alive

• What makes healthcare so expensive• Vital that we as NURSES MAKE A CHANGE
