Healthcare Reforms in The US


Today we Manziel law offices will talk about healthcare reforms in The USA. But first, let us talk about the history of reforms in the USA.


History We will here talk about history, efforts, failed efforts, and more details about the healthcare reforms.


President Lyndon Johnson in 1965 endorsed a regulation that formed Medicaid. What is Medicaid? It is a program that helps with healthcare costs for some people with limited income and resources; it also provides insurance for senior citizens.

The Consolidated omnibus budget reconciliation act of 1985 revised the Employee retirement income security act of 1974 it gave employees the ability to continue health coverage after leaving their employment.

2000 showed us the rise of the BIPA benefit improvement and protection act which undid some cuts on Medicaid, Medicare in the budget act of 1997.

2003 The Medicare prescription drug improvement and modernization act presented extra coverage within Medicare for self-administrated prescribed drugs.


The reforms do not stop here; they will continue to be implemented to make US health care better and better day by day. It spends far more than the high-income nations yet it has the least effective health care in the world. In a report, the US health care system was ranked 11 among 11 industrial countries. For all this expense satisfaction is very low in the US.
