What effect does the increasing cost of the health care have on society?
Asked by Wiki User
The increasing cost of healthcare means that more people cannot afford healthcare. So, when people get sick they often wait until it gets bad enough that they have to go to the hospital, instead of the doctors' office. This means that there are increasing costs to the person. The hospital has to treat people whether they have insurance or not. Tax money is used to pay for those people that don't pay their medical bills. When more people can't pay, taxes are raised on the people that do have jobs and areable to pay.

Why does the Japanese National Health Insurance system work so damned well?
Asked by Johnlondon
Because they take care of their parents even when they get old they move in with them and care medically and financially. They support them until they die(parents). The people in the U.S. dont do that, they are selfish. Sorry to differ.
They do not care for them financially. They needn't that care. They neither need medical care from parents. Japanese complain about doing what they do, but it is not financial or medical. It is social.
I think your answer is good. You say that the Japanese care for their aging parents. This they do, but that is all they know.
You said Americans are selfish. Please we are getting off course, but the truth is. So I will tell you and whoever that the Japanese are some of the most selfish people I have ever seen.
It is also a natural consequence of 129,000,000 people trying to make the best of it in a place the size of California. People don't say hello and more do than don't, dislike their neighbor.
They do complain ( not every single person) and they do not support financially. Fallacy of generalization will eat us up, so it is important to acknowledge that their are all kinds of people in a lot of places.
Japanese are better protected throughout their lives by a closed and punitive market.
Americans are challenged with the worlds goods, and that same world does not want your goods; they are selfish. Now to answer the question.
Everybody works and pays their share. Money makes the system work. The answer is
money. There are other factors, but the most important is the system itself and the receivers of these goods and services ability to pay. And they pay, of course, with money.
What will the cost of medical insurance be for low income people under the health care bill?
Asked by Wiki User
The cost of medical insurance premium for low income people under the health care bill should be affordable and keeping parity with their income standard.What person with white color job can afford to pay ,cannot be compared with a rickshaw puller or taxi driver. But disease makes no discrimination among rich and poor and therefore the low income people need the medical insurance most. But their need will not bear fruit if the rate of medical insurance premium is kept at higher side and hence medical insurance premium should be kept low for low income people.
