Resumo: A nearly universal consensus has developed in the United States that the current health care financing system is a failure. The system has been unable to control the continuing rapid rise in health care costs (by far, the highest in the world), and it has been unable to stem the growing population that has no health insurance coverage (at least 36 million people). There is nearly universal political agreement that government must provide health insurance to a far greater share of the population than ever before. The political debate now focuses on whether this expanded government role should supplement the private insurance system with an enlarged public program covering those left out of private insurance coverage, or replace private insurance with a universal government health insurance program covering the entire population.

O sistema não foi capaz de controlar o rápido aumento nos custos dos cuidados em saúde (de longe, o mais elevado do mundo), e também não foi capaz de estancar o crescimento da população sem qualquer cobertura de seguro saúde (pelo menos 26 milhões de pessoas). Politicamente, há quase total concordância de que o governo deve prover seguro de saúde a uma parcela bem maior da população do que no passado. O debate político agora centra-se na questão se este papel expandido do governo deve suplementar o sistema de seguridade privado através de um programa aumentado, de modo a cobrir os que ficam de fora da cobertura oferecida pelo seguro privado, ou substituir o seguro privado por um programa de seguro-saúde governamental de abrangência universal, dando cobertura a toda a população.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública1992-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/410Reports in Public Health; Vol. 8 No. 3 (1992): July/SeptemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 8 n. 3 (1992): Julho/Setembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/410/825https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/410/826Brown, E.
