Seguro Saúde em Crise

O número de pessoas sem seguro saúde nos EUA é significativo. Por exemplo, em Nova Jersey "About 15 percent of the population, or 1.4 million people, has no health insurance and little access to preventative care. Instead, the state pays nearly $1 billion a year to hospitals, which are required to treat the uninsured when they show up at emergency rooms with critical, not-so-critical and chronic illnesses. Hospitals say the reimbursement is insufficient. Many of them operate in the red". Mark V. Pauly, professor da Wharton School, analisa o problema em uma série de artigos aqui .
