Will healthcare reform actually occur in the US?

Thomas L. Creer

Department of Psychology, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, USA, tcreer{at}comcast.net

Healthcare in the US is currently in a state of chaos. Not only does a large percentage of the population lack health coverage, but overall we are increasingly paying more and more for what in comparison to other countries is a decreasing quality of healthcare. This article describes a few of the factors that compose the context both of current healthcare strategies in the US and of barriers to the creation of a true healthcare system. Accomplishing this goal will require unprecedented bipartisan cooperation of both the Obama administration and Congress.

Key Words: Healthcare in the US • Barriers to healthcare reform • Prospects of future change
