Insurance companies then respond by clamping down more tightly on providers and by denying coverage to people or groups likely to get sick. Now after you pay your rent, make a car payment, auto insurance, buy groceries and pay other miscellaneous bills, most people don't have enough money left over to pay for health insurance. This may be the reason that 89 percent of Americans feel the United States health care system needs fundamental changes or complete rebuilding. Private businesses are feeling the pinch of the health care cost problems also. Big business shoulders much of the burden by paying approximately 28 percent of direct health care costs.
Some large corporation tend to support fairly radical changes to the current health care system.
Others prefer to shift costs onto their employees. Large corporations are coming around, however, to the view that a regulated national system of health care is the only way to reduce increasing prices, decrease cost shifting and require free-riding businesses to pay their fair share. Coca-Cola is one of the few companies left in the United States that still offers full health insurance to its' employes even though its' costs are rising 27 percent each year. My case is very logical. With my solution to America's health care problems people who can afford health insurance get it, others may be covered by their employer, anyone not covered by on of these two will be covered by the government single-payer system.
