It may or may not depending on what kind of insurance you have and how many hoops you have to jump thru before they actually authorize the medication or give you the okay for the technology to be used on you. In one article it is saying that the U.S. is one of the leading in health care technology. That we have machines that can save lives and that we have medications that can help us live longer with our diseases but it comes with a high cost. It is making the employer take most of the cost and the patient pay very little but is this really true. Most people have high deductibles before the employer will even start to pay some of the health insurance coverage.
True this healthcare will require employers to spend more on healthcare and therefore give those clear excuses as to why they have to make cuts.

The Standard is Zero Preventable Harm MAJ Tyler Burningham DMD Zero preventable harm must be the goal of every healthcare provider and the mission of every healthcare facility. According to a 2013 report, between 210,000 and 440,000 patients die yearly as a result of preventable medical errors.1 Death is one problem with preventable mistakes, fixing the mistake will waste money and resources. Additional appointments will be needed, medical supplies used, and hospital staff working longer hours. Why are providers and hospital administration content with such high rates of preventable errors. I have heard so many poor excuses, but the fact of the matter is they are nothing but excuses.
Eng 101 Medicare for All Health care reform has been and will continue to be an ongoing debate. How can the United States take care of its ailing population? How can the people of America know in their hearts that their loved ones in the future will be taken care of? How can the United States pale in comparison with European countries, in regards to health care reform?

Planned Parenthood is a government funded clinic that helps teens receive contraception, help with adoption, and perform abortions. Because of the budget cuts that the government is trying to make, Planned Parenthood is one of the first things that is trying to be cut. Even without the government budget cuts, tax payers argue that they do not want their money to be used for abortions for people, and especially teens. But what a lot of tax payers do not realize is that Planned Parenthood is not used just for abortions, but it is used for other things. Planned Parenthood is seen as a vital piece of health care, and if it is cut then that will be contradicting Obama’s current plan for expanding a cheaper healthcare to more
