1 SECTION 1: Findings
2 Congress makes the following findings:
3 1) The current U.S. health care program results a longer waiting time in
4 emergency room because there are less doctors accepting Medicaid to avoid
5 dealing with the program's bureaucracy for less than satisfactory
6 compensation. Theres only 30 percent of Americans said that they were able
7 to access doctor easily. [1,3]
8 2) Around 5 million people lost their employment-based health insurance
9 because businesses believe that it is more cost-effective to pay the penalty
10 and let their employees purchase insurance plans on the exchanges. Other
11 small businesses find they can get better plans through the state-run
12 exchanges. [2]
13 3) More than 40 million U.S. adults reported that they did not receive one or
14 more of these health services (medical care, prescription medicines, mental
15 health care, dental care, or eyeglasses) in 2005 because they could not
16 afford it. [4]
