The healthcare industry may be showing an upward growth in countries across the world but several areas are still not being taken care of that will enhance the provision of health care to the common people. Almost 1/5th of the worldwide sale of healthcare is comprised by countries like Russia, Mexico, India, Indonesia, China and Turkey.
It was in the 1990s that the heath care cost started increasing. The 42 million mark was attained by Americans who did not have any health insurance or health care coverage. In the years to come, it is being predicted that considerable stress will be imposed on the US health care sector due to the rise in number of old sick people. In the near future, number of healthcare programs and insurance coverage will also witness some increase. The escalation in the medical plans in 2006 was 42.5 million and this might increase to 70.2 million by the year 2025.
Based on health studies it was found that approximately 23% of Americans try to prevent themselves from lifestyle diseases by consuming good quality food. With the rise in popularity of sustainable food movement, consumers across the world are being encouraged to eat healthy in order to prevent diseases. However, studies indicate that negligible expenditure is being done on preventative measures in comparison to the money being spent on treatment of chronic diseases.
There are several separate entities that provide health care services in the United States. This is largely owned by the private sector. The debate over overhaul of the health care industry by the Obama government has sparked debates. The reforms are basically concerned to right to health care for all, cost, efficiency, access and quality of health services. Since there has been debate over the US healthcare industry not delivering value for the money being spent, the government is trying to bring significant changes. Obama believes that a single payer system would have been the best way to make the health insurance system work efficiently. There is no doubt that the government is striving hard to implement its health care reforms for better health care provision in the US but whether or not it is successful will be something to watch out for.
