The Diploma work "Health care reform in the United States of America" is the sequel of the Bachelor work of 2008 called "The liberal health care system of the United States of America". The work is focused on the financial means and changes which has been effective since singing The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (acronym PPACA) into the United States law on 23rd March 2010 by the democratic president Barack Obama. The special attention is drawn to permanently increasing health care costs and defrauding of money within the social heath care program Medicare that is designated for seniors 65 and over as well as handicapped people. This work deals with Massachusetts Mandatory Health Insurance Program of 2006, which has been used like a model for the new federal law PPACA. The practical part presents the particular changes brought by the new law, including their impact on the chosen social groups -- the uninsured, the employers, the families and their kids, the seniors and the people with "pre-existing conditions". Since the Health care reform is the political issue as well, at the end there are mentioned some pros and cons opinions.
