12 SECTION 3: General Provisions
Right now a lot of people are not living with health insurance in America. Without
13
health insurance, the medical bills stack up exponentially. Procedures arent all
14
covered in the health insurance. People who paid for insurance didnt choose to
15
get the sickness is outside of the coverage. Without the coverage, it is going to
16 cost a life saving for a more severe condition. To promote a national health care
17 is to price medications and procedures at a cheaper price, the citizens will only
18 have to pay a certain percentage of their salary.
19 Statistically, medical bills is one of the three main reasons why people go bankrupt in
20 the United States. Therefore, to set up a flexible payment dependent on the
21 salary is beneficial to the citizens. The insurance companies have been making
22 too much profit from not giving insurance to patients, they most likely will deny
23 their filing for insurance. Insurance companies make too much money from the
24 low risk and high return. Americans cannot rely on insurance companies, need a
25 National Health Care Act to ensure the wellbeing of our citizens.
26 It is negative for the economy is people arent paying the bills to the hospitals.
27 Hospitals need to make profit in order to sustain. In order to ensure they make
28 profit, the payment for procedures and treatments are really high. This is a
29 negative cycle for the economy and health care.
30 With this NHCA, citizens will pay a percentage of their salary as their fee. Whenever
31 they get sick, theyll go to the hospital with this NHCA card and will be able to
32 seek treatments at no cost.
