The access of healthcare in the United States of America is very poor for a country which is one of the super powers of the world. In the United States Health Care is provided by Private Insurances and Government funded known as Medicaid. The healthcare in the untied states is very expensive and isn't affordable for everyone. But, The "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" also know as "Obamacare" has been passed and now it is going to make healthcare affordable for everyone(1). In the current state of the Health System in the united states, we lack the proper system to provide health care for everyone. In comparison to other countries around the world we spend more on health care and yet we are still ranked 50 on the worldwide healthcare market. In the year 2008 over 31% of young adults in the age group of 20-29 lacked healthcare coverage. That's almost twice as much as adults in the age group of 30-64 standing at 17% (3). It has been difficult to access healthcare for everyone thus the need for the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (2).
