The reforms are often proposed but rarely accomplished. A landmark reform was passed in 2010 through two federal statutes: The patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act and became law on March 30, 2010. Given below is the history of healthcare reforms at the national level in America.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1965 (Medicare National Health Insurance)\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson introduced Medicare, a National Health Insurance program covering both hospital and medical supplement insurance for senior citizens. Medicaid was also introduced, which permitted the Federal government to partially fund a program for the poor, with the program managed and financed by the individual states.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1985 (Cobra Act)\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The COBRA Act enacted the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) to provide an advantage to employees to continue health insurance even after leaving their job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1996 ( Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act )\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act is a savior for workers. It not only protects insurance coverage for workers when they lose their jobs but also made health insurance companies cover the cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1997 ( Balanced Budget Act)\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Balanced Budget Act introduced two programs. It introduced part C of Medicare and State Children&#8217;s Health Insurance Program, commonly known as SCHIP. The program provides health insurance to children who are below the poverty line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2003 (Medicare Modernisation Act )\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Medicare Modernisation Act established an optional supplementary coverage for self-administered prescription drugs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2010 (Patient Protection and Affordability Care Act)\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was introduced under the leadership of President Barack Obama. It is famously known as Obamacare and included multiple provisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have traveled the difficult and bumpy road to healthcare reforms. We have yet not arrived at a more accessible and high-quality health care system. But that destination is worth the difficult journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The aim of every country is to provide health care reforms to its citizens.
