HEALTHCARE2is there a gap in healthcare coverage? There are more than 2.5 million uninsured poor adults who fall into this category known as the coverage gap. This is as a result of the state deciding not to expand Medicaid, this means that the income of those who fall under this category have an income that is above the eligibility of Medicaid but below the premium tax credits in the market place.Texas has more than a quarter of the people in the coverage gap. According to (Schulte, 2013) ,the group that is most impacted by the recent changes in legislation are the working poor who had been covered under Medicaid, these are 22 million people that are projected to lose coverage. This are the most vulnerable and poorest in the country. The other group that will be affected are the disabled, seniors and others who had qualified even before Obamacare.Who might be over, and who is under covered? The people who are over covered are those that are healthy and with FFS plans (Fees For Service). They pay high premiums so that they can cover the unhealthy people in the same risk pool. The undercovered are the 26-34 year olds who should be receiving vaccines and preventative screenings at a bare minimum (The future of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare in south Louisiana, 2008). There is evidence of equality of care in our health care system. One of the evidence is that theU.S has got one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world. The life expectancy rate is 79.3 which is just below Japan with a life expectancy rate at 83 years. Another indicator of quality healthcare is that we perform very well in terms of child and infant mortality.
