Ineffective Claims Processing
The economy is in shambles and one of the most critical victims is of course, the health care system. The US health care system has been battling for survival since the system fell in disarray many years back with public care being of less importance that the many costs the government had to fund. The two wars and other more pressing issues such as the current economic stimulus package has again taxed heavy on the system which has lagged so much behind compared to private care in the many hospitals around.
Private care has continued to prosper with the regular influx of new technology and partly has public care, but when it comes to processing of their claims problems arose where state and government agencies simply took too long to reimburse the costs leading to losses. This is one of the main cause of private hospitals refusing care to uninsured people which though against the law is still rampant. The government is truly in trouble with the amount of work they would have to do to improve upon the health care system, just hope it comes soon to alleviate the needs of the many people who cannot afford private care.
