The United States is among the wealthiest and most prosperous nations in the world. It has the largest military, the largest economy, freedom of speech and religion. Yet its government is unable, unwilling, or incapable of providing adequate, basic healthcare to all its citizens. In 2010, the United States spent over $2.6 trillion on health care, representing roughly 18 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) (Hughes & Rao, 2012). On average, the United States spend twice as much on healthcare per capita and out spend 12 other industrial countries including Germany, Japan and New Zealand (Hughes & Rao, 2012).
Their mission is to lead the health informatics and information management community to advance professional practice and standards. I think this show in their standards and work that they have shown all over the world. This is one of the biggest health industry institutes around the world trying to make it an easy transition between constants when it comes to medical coding. They have been using the ICD -9 coding book that was first published in 1977. Now they are about to realize the ICD-10 book in 2013.
The reason to question the effectiveness of the fiscal integrity of the Obama care bill. (Heritage Foundation, 2011) There are pro’s and con’s with the Obama care reformation. The cons are that one of the greatest fears of the Obama care is that they will lose the right to choose their own doctor. Another con is the medical cost and billing issues for both the patient and the doctors. Both parties are questioning who will cover the cause of health care treatment.
Another comes from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that recently determined that one-third of all health care consumed in the U.S. is unnecessary. That means that 33% of care covered by our insurance companies may not be medically necessary. It is no coincidence that over the last decade, hip replacements have increased by a third, knee replacements are up 70%, and MRI/CT/PET scans have
This health care system would focus on health insurance coverage for all citizens, the use of Electronic Medical Records and an emphasis on Long Term Care for the elderly and disabled. These three factors would make a very good health care system an excellent one. My Proposal For 4 References (2008).

Randy E. Barnett, JD "Throughout the year-long debate over health care reform, President Obama promised that the legislation would reduce the spiraling cost of health care... But a couple of new government reports confirm what many of us who opposed a federal takeover of the health care system feared all along - higher costs... CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] says that the health care law will impose billions of dollars in annual fees on manufacturers and importers of brand-name prescription drugs and on health insurance plans, and new taxes on medical device sales. CMS said it anticipates that these new fees and taxes will be passed down to consumers in the form of higher drug and device prices and higher insurance premiums, raising health care costs from $2.1 billion in 2011 to $18.2 billion in
The debate of universal health care has raised many issues within both houses. While Republicans have issued a statement claiming that President Obama’s health care plan borders on blatant socialism, Democrats have other ideas about the universal health care plan. Democrats claim that the health care plan provides much needed health coverage to underprivileged Americans who cannot afford decent health care. Currently the average number of American’s who do not have medical coverage skyrocketed to 45 million late 2008-early 2009. Some members in both the Democratic and Republican parties stand by the idea that with free health care medical professionals can concentrate on healing the patient rather than on insurance procedures, malpractice liability, etc.
DS: Over 20,000 worldwide. There are over 3000 hospitals in the U.S. that offer maternity services, of those, only 5% have achieved BFHI status.
