    The United States Congress House of Representatives on November 7 surpassed 1 trillion US dollars health insurance reform bill through the total amount, the public opinion regards as it President Ao Bama reforms a great victory which comprehensively the American medical insurance system obtained diligently.

    Congress’s health insurance reform bill in July has taken shape, slowly has not actually put to vote by ballot, the reason lies in Republican Party almost unanimously to oppose that reforms, in Democratic Party the conservative faction resolutely to oppose some contents. The voting same day, Pama arrives personally Congress to persuade this party congressman to support the reform bill. Meanwhile, Democratic Party advocated that the abortion right the liberal makes the concessions, passed one item about the abortion bill for amendment, for bill through eliminating barrier.

    This bill proposed for the first time compulsory insurance content, this will change fundamentally the insurance business present situation in US. The bill requests everybody to purchase insurance, will otherwise pay the personal income 2.5% fines; Besides employee payroll total amount is lower than 500,000 US dollars employers, all employers must purchase the insurance for the employee, otherwise must pay the high quota fine; Sets up the insurance trading market, causes the public insurance plan and privately operated insurance plan which government manages compete; Is lower than 88,000 US dollars families of four to provide the government subsidy purchase insurance to the yearly income; Expands 15 million people medical relief system’s coverage area again ……

    Congress budget analysis expert estimated that before 2019, this bill will cause 3600 insurers to profit absolutely not, but will still have 18 million Americans not to insure, one-third is the illegal immigrant. Reaches in a future 10 years total amount 1.05 trillion US dollars expenditures, Democratic Party plans 400 billion US dollars save from the government system of medical care insurance and government medical relief system obtained, other come from the new tax revenue mainly.

    After Congress votes passes, about the health insurance reform argument’s main battlefield will shift Senate. Most has the argument is still the public insurance plan which the government manages. Democratic Party regards it for the introduction competition, to reduce the government health insurance expenditure, the medical insurance essential option which to provide to be possible for the populace to pay; Republican Party congressman regards as to it individual option infringement. Republican Party opposed that this bill another reason, is it 1 trillion US dollars price tickets, thinks that the high tax revenue and big expenditure are not the reforms which the people need. Pama hopes at the end of the year signature health insurance reform bill. Realization of this goal or not is decided obviously by Senate about the above question argument result.

    At present, Senate has not established the debate date, but to the Senate Democrat, obtains the bill through 60 tickets which needs similarly is an arduous duty. (In American Reporter Ma Xiaoning)
