"If you don't have insurance, beginning on October 1st, private plans will actually compete for your business. You can comparison-shop in an online marketplace, just like you would for cell phone plans or plane tickets. You may be eligible for new tax credits to help you afford the plan that's right for you. And if you're among the up to half of all Americans who've been sick or have a preexisting condition, this law means the beginning January 1st, insurance companies have to cover you."
Health care spending accounts for 1/7 of U.S. economic activity and is projected to increase to 1/5 in coming years. The cost has a direct bearing on America's economic and fiscal well-being.平价医疗法案,即奥巴马医改,增设了联邦医疗保健项目,让更多困难群体受益,并鼓励美国各收入群体购买私人医疗保险。
“如果你未投保,那么自10月1日起,各种私人医保计划将极尽其术,博取你的青睐。你可以跟购买手机服务套餐或机票一样,在网上对比购买。你还可能享受新税收抵免政策,更为轻松地定制套餐。如果你和当今大多数美国人一样,在投保之前已贵体抱恙,该法案意味着自1月1日起,保险公司必须同等理赔。“
医保开支占美国经济开支的七分之一,根据计划,这一比重将会在未来数年里提升至五分之一。这笔开销会直接影响到美国的经济和财政状况。
