| Résumé : | The US has multiple health insurance systems, with around one-tenth of the population uninsured. There is not a single U.S. health care system, but several systems that serve different segments of the population. Most Americans receive their coverage from private health insurance while two major federal government health insurance programmes, Medicare and Medicaid, offer coverage for seniors and some of the disabled, and healthcare services for some of the poor and near-poor, respectively. Nevertheless, and unusually for high-income countries, almost 10% of the population remains uninsured; although this is a large improvement from the 17% figure prior to the implementation of the major provisions of the Affordable Care Act in 2014. |
