A Presentation by Chelsea Pelfrey Finding Common Ground on America’s Health Care

Our Country’s Health Issue The Affordable Care Act – a divergent issue Negative and positive effects …can we find common ground?

Common Ground: The Need For Change Partisan times = need for understanding Inherent problems within our system

Unaffordable Premiums Monthly premiums too high for some Nature of capitalism 18% of non-elderly are uninsured

Discrimination of Pre-existing Conditions Definition: health condition previously treated Insurance companies won’t cover pre-existing conditions Must be paid for out of pocket Millions of Americans have a pre-existing condition

Time Lapses in Coverage Definition: a patient looses coverage during life-change Issues can turn into “pre-existing conditions” In 2011 ¼ of adults experienced gap in coverage

US Health Care System Was Costly Spent more on health than OECD average Spent 15% of GDP on health care More than twice per capita than OECD average

Goals of Affordable Care Act Offer more affordable coverage End pre-existing discrimination Lower health care system costs White House Administration promised only positive Changes

The Outcome of the Affordable Care Act 7+ million signed up for health care 4% more elderly have coverage Majority of Americans say ‘no impact’ More reports of harm than help Reports of rise in costs, of loosing insurance coverage

Although Flawed, Act Intended to Address Needs Americans disagree on Affordable Care Act Flaws in health care system: -unaffordable premiums -discrimination of pre-existing conditions -gaps in coverage -costliness Affordable Care Act attempted to fix problems Common ground: SOMETHING needed to be done
