El impuesto de la Coca-Cola [59]

  1. # 5 #9
    Public
    Government programs directly cover 27.8% of the population (83 million),[1] including the elderly, disabled, children, veterans, and some of the poor, and federal law mandates public access to emergency services regardless of ability to pay. Public spending accounts for between 45% and 56.1% of U.S. health care spending.[65] Per-capita spending on health care by the U.S. government placed it among the top ten highest spenders among United Nations member countries in 2004.[66]

    Government funded programs include:

    -Medicare, generally covering citizens and long-term residents 65 years and older and the disabled.
    -Medicaid, generally covering low income people in certain categories, including children, pregnant women, and the disabled. (Administered by the states.)
    -State Children's Health Insurance Program, which provides health insurance for low-income children who do not qualify for Medicaid. (Administered by the states, with matching state funds.)
    -Various programs for federal employees, including TRICARE for military personnel (for use in civilian facilities)
    -The Veterans Administration, which provides care to veterans, their families, and survivors through medical centers and clinics.[67][68]
    -National Institutes of Health treats patients who enroll in research for free.
    -Government run community clinics
    -Medical Corps of various branches of the military.
    -Certain county and state hospitals
