Cada uno de ellos est\u00e1 contribuyendo a otro que se est\u00e1 gestando desde hace mucho tiempo.<br \/>\nCrisis: la falta de disponibilidad y asequibilidad de la atenci\u00f3n sanitaria.&nbsp;<br \/>\nCuarenta y siete millones de estadounidenses no tienen seguro m\u00e9dico y millones m\u00e1s<br \/>\nest\u00e1n insuficientemente asegurados. Las personas mayores tienen que elegir qu\u00e9 medicamentos<br \/>\npueden permitirse y la gente se salta las visitas m\u00e9dicas necesarias porque no pueden pagar las<br \/>\npagos. Las personas que tienen seguro m\u00e9dico tienen miedo de perderlo y<br \/>\nlas personas sin seguro tienen miedo de enfermarse. Necesitamos un mejor<br \/>\nforma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Durante los \u00faltimos meses he estado trabajando sin parar con<br \/>\nmis colegas en el Comit\u00e9 de Salud del Senado para desarrollar una legislaci\u00f3n que<br \/>\nproporcionar atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica asequible y de calidad para todos los estadounidenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">El plan en el que estamos trabajando ampliar\u00e1 el acceso a la salud<br \/>\natenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, reducir costos e invertir en prevenci\u00f3n, garantizando al mismo tiempo que las personas mayores y los<br \/>\nLos discapacitados no se quedan atr\u00e1s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">En primer lugar, creo firmemente que los estadounidenses deber\u00edan poder elegir<br \/>\nde mantener su cobertura actual o elegir una opci\u00f3n p\u00fablica que<br \/>\nproporcionar\u00eda una cobertura de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica asequible. Una opci\u00f3n p\u00fablica debe<br \/>\nincluirse en los planes de reforma porque reducir\u00e1 costos, fomentar\u00e1<br \/>\ncompetencia y mantener a las compa\u00f1\u00edas de seguros honestas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">En segundo lugar, necesitamos gastar m\u00e1s nuestro dinero en atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica<br \/>\nsabiamente. Estados Unidos gasta m\u00e1s que cualquier otro pa\u00eds industrializado en<br \/>\natenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, pero esos d\u00f3lares no se traducen en mejores resultados para<br \/>\npacientes. Una forma segura de reducir costos para familias, empresas y<br \/>\nEl gobierno debe invertir en prevenci\u00f3n. Asegur\u00e1ndonos de que todos los estadounidenses<br \/>\ntiene acceso a atenci\u00f3n preventiva, podemos detectar enfermedades tempranamente y prevenir<br \/>\ndificultad financiera. Tambi\u00e9n necesitamos invertir en la gesti\u00f3n de enfermedades,<br \/>\nmedicamentos recetados asequibles y estrategias de bienestar como ejercicio y<br \/>\nalmuerzos escolares saludables.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Finalmente, una de mis mayores preocupaciones es que estemos atentos a<br \/>\nestadounidenses mayores y discapacitados. Los cuidados a largo plazo se han vuelto prohibitivos<br \/>\ncaro para muchas personas y he hablado con residentes de Oregon en todo el estado que<br \/>\nluchan por cubrir los alt\u00edsimos costos de sus familiares.&nbsp;<br \/>\nLos estadounidenses no deber\u00edan tener que preocuparse de que sus padres o abuelos reciban<br \/>\nla atenci\u00f3n de calidad que merecen a medida que envejecen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Hacer nada no es una opci\u00f3n. Debemos aprovechar este extraordinario<br \/>\noportunidad de aprobar una verdadera reforma sanitaria y ayudar a mejorar la salud de nuestros<br \/>\nciudadanos invirtiendo en prevenci\u00f3n. El presidente Obama ha hecho<br \/>\nla reforma del sistema de salud es una prioridad y estoy seguro de que podemos trabajar juntos para<br \/>\nproporcionar cobertura a todos los estadounidenses.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our nation faces a number of daunting challenges:&nbsp;
