The Reform of the Health Care System in the United States of America

The Diploma work "Health care reform in the United States of America" is the sequel of the Bachelor work of 2008 called "The liberal health care system of the United States of America". The work is focused on the financial means and changes which has been effective since singing The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (acronym PPACA) into the United States law on 23rd March 2010 by the democratic president Barack Obama. The special attention is drawn to permanently increasing health care costs and defrauding of money within the social heath care program Medicare that is designated for seniors 65 and over as well as handicapped people.
