During the 90s, in the United States, before the avalanche of deaths of newborn children or with malformations, due to a miserable state of life and drug use, it was tried by some hospitals to launch some type of health system where less disadvantaged classes could have free assistance in some specialties, and in general in pregnancy. All that struggle between the power of money (the middle and high class) and those who advocated some social service that helped these unfortunates, could have a turning point in the famous Obama law.
The badly called Accessible Care Law of Obama, approved in 2010, forced all health users to have medical insurance, although with a minimum cost based on their income. This management intended to alleviate the more than 50 million people who in the United States did not have the right to a health that saved their lives. However, this Democratic proposal was not well accepted, or even for its homonyms, 39 of which they abstained to vote for it in the beginning.
The insurers and the great pharmaceuticals demonstrated against the beginning, supporting the disruptions of a republican party away from the need to support the less disadvantaged classes, as if they had never been US citizens. President Trump, in his second term and with the two cameras at his service has made the decision to suppress state aid to insurers so that people needed to pay for insurance and have assistance.
How many millions of Americans or residents in that country are left without health care?
How many will end up dying?
Many newborn babies with a weight of less than 550 grams die due to lack of specialized incubators, but, above all, because their mothers, whether miserable, wandering or drug addicts, have not had assistance during pregnancy. Already in 1991 around 35,000 babies ended up in that country. There are currently two significant data in the United States, which shows that nothing was advanced in this regard. One of them is that approximately 20,500 babies die before the year, the equivalent of a infant mortality rate of 5.6 killed per 1000 births. And although this given is limited to 2022, it is still interesting to know that with respect to 2021 there is an increase of 3%. Likewise, it is estimated that around 21,000 fetal deaths also occur due to not determined causes in statistics, although it is important to highlight that it exists, as was the case in 1991, a significant racial disparity, being blacks and other non -white races, who suffer the most high rates.
At the beginning of the nineties, the Children’s Defense Fund organization contributed a terrifying fact, from 1940 to 1992, some 415,000 black baby would have survived if they had had the same care as their white homonyms.
The reality is that the American health system, and in general the World Cup, prevails the enrichment of the great pharmaceutical industry and those who serve them, above life. Although there are data that show that investing in health, and especially in premature health is much smarter than letting these figures fat.
There are studies, since the nineties, which demonstrates considerable savings in the care of a baby, when it is born normally to when it does so prematurely. For example, the University of California did a study in 1990 where it stated that the United States had to allocate about 500 million dollars to baby medical care whose mothers had taken cocaine.
How many women today in that country, in fertile age, have no insurance?
How many families lack illness insurance that covers the necessary medical care?
Are the states, the politicians who direct them, or the pharmaceutical companies that act as fierce lobby against the human rights of those who suffer the deficiencies of such an inhuman health system?
Putting the view in the figure of benefits in the lower part, to the right of the spreadsheet, usually always be the best of sensations for those who do not have any type of scruples for human life. And the worst, is that more and more in societies considered civilized, western, there are more individuals with these characteristics.
