The implication of this situation is, as employers look to defer more and more of the cost of health insurance to the employees, and as those jobs that provide healthcare benefits to employees become more scarce, the young people in America will not have access to care, and will suffer the physical neglect of that situation.
"In 1994, Congress failed to act on employer-mandated health insurance coverage. This insurance would have benefited mostly poor, working Americans -- those working in small businesses that did not provide health insurance. Medicare and Medicaid, for the most part, cover the older population and those on public assistance. Large businesses cover virtually all their employees. With few exceptions, people who are uncovered are employed by small businesses. Each year since 1994, over 1 million additional American workers, virtually all in small businesses, lost their health insurance coverage. This trend will continue because the proposed employer mandate never even came to a vote (Hirschberg, David, 2001, p. 82)."
This situation is particularly of concern when it comes to young people, whom are still in the processing of maturing and responding to the world around them in ways that make them physically vulnerable to certain health conditions. Right now, many of those young people are uninsured, and without care for conditions that can cause them to become severely disabled, to suffer early death.
Social researchers Stephen G. Anderson and Mary Keegan Eamon (2005), say that because uninsured populations are not geographically...
7). If young people do not have access to healthcare, they risk suffering harmful and life threatening diseases that can be socially transmitted to others. This is a serious condition of uninsured people, but perhaps more so in the case of young people because their social realms are more expansive than that of older people. It is serious, too, because young people have a full life time ahead of them, which can be cut short, or irrevocably damaged by the lack of proper healthcare.
The time has arrived when Americans must demand a solution to the healthcare crisis in America. There is a need to protect our young people, and future generations of Americans from the affects of healthcare neglect.

What this in essence means is that the patient would not be able to choose his own brands of medication; he must only buy what the committee has recommended, otherwise, he would lose out on his health insurance payments. A woman who faced a problem similar to that mentioned above talks about her experience as a diabetic. She said that when the health insurance company stated that they would be

Transparency empowers consumers to become better shoppers. Economists assert that transparency stimulates productivity, for example, in exchange for money, one individual obtaining fair value. In every aspect, except healthcare, Davis points out, transparency, is supported. The contemporary dearth of transparency in healthcare has led to many Americans not being able to effectively shop for the best quality of service at acute care hospitals. Davis argues that transparency permits consumers,
(Health Insurance Coverage, 2009). This is just a little higher than what was reported in the state of Pennsylvania over the last two-year period, which was at 25% (Krawczeniuk, 2009). "The number of uninsured rose 2.2 million between 2005 and 2006 and has increased by almost 8 million people since 2000" (Health Insurance Coverage, 2009). Most Americans are provided with health insurance coverage through their employers. But in today's society
