Vermont Is Preparing New Health Care System

Vermont Health Officials will change the health care system.

Vermont Health Officials seem to have big plans regarding their health care system. They approved a plan that will invest more money is promoting services that keep people healthy instead of spending that money on treating diseases.  It was a long journey before they approved this plan, that is supposed to reduce the costs Vermont residents have to pay for meds.

Of course, there is still a lot of work to do. Health officials have to sign contracts with insurance providers and talked to them about what changes this new project will involve. Moreover, they have to decide the amount of money the hospitals would be paid. Event though the Vermont officials know it will not be easy, they think they will achieve their goal. A new health care system should not only improve people’s health but also make them pay less for the meds. This requires the involvement of the authorities and hospitals, which do not always agree on the topic.

When the system will start, health care providers will receive an amount of money for every patient.  If the person who gets sick has a little health issue, the provider will be able to keep the money that will not be spent. However, if the person needs more care, the provider will not be able to receive more money for the treatment.

Things will not change in a day. There will be years before all the patients will benefit from the new health care system. According to the officials, in six years 70 percent of people are supposed to be involved in the new system.

Even though the new system will improve the economy of the state, there are also some risks. The transition costs will not be easy to cover and the officials still do not know if all the providers will want to be involved in the new program.

People should focus more on preventing diseases instead of treating them. A healthy diet will cost you less that meds or surgeries. Moreover, exercising is also an important issue as most of the Americans adults are overweight. As long as people will not invest in health education, it will be harder for the authorities to reduce the costs.

What do you think about the new health system? Will it improve people’s lives?
