Synopsis "The Affordable Care Act is Working: A Special Report on Cost Savings (in English)"
In the most dramatic and hard-fought political battle of our time-after decades of failed attempts by both Democratic and Republican presidents-Democrats in 2010 finally succeeded in passing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). With all of its length and complexity, it had three simple objectives: (1) provide quality health insurance for every citizen, (2) improve the quality of health care for every person, and (3) bring health care costs under control. Democrats demonstrated their commitment to making quality affordable health care available to every American through their years of thorough study and tough negotiations to get the ACA through Congress. They were driven by the humane desire to eliminate the old "pay or die" system in which Americans in ever increasing numbers were priced out of the market. At the same time, they shared a practical commitment to shaping a law that would keep money in the national treasury and in the threadbare pockets of the American people. Republicans constantly proclaim themselves as the "fiscally responsible" party trying to balance the national budget. They portray Democrats as the party of "tax and spend." The very different approaches of the two parties to a national health care system reveal that nothing could be further from the truth. Democrats approach this task with an eye to expanding coverage and improving the quality of care while lowering costs. Republicans-committed to unfettered profit-taking within the "free market" capitalist system-oppose virtually every cost-saving measure in the Affordable Care Act. Democrats' primary client is the American people. Republicans' primary client is the Medical-Industrial Complex. Their clear agenda is to get the best deal possible for providers of health care at the expense of the people. Very few of us are aware of the many ways the Affordable Act is designed to save money. The law is complex and is hard to explain in sound bites. The citizenry does not have enough accurate information to counter Republican scare tactics. Dr. McCan's series of books about the Affordable Care Act is designed to educate civic-minded citizens about the many facets of health care reform that are not widely understood by the public. This 2016 Election Edition focuses on cost containment and highlights the many fascinating cost saving aspects of the law that have received little or no press coverage. It also points to remaining obstacles to full effectiveness of the law and what well-informed, vigilant citizens can do to protect health care reform from co-option by special interests.
