[originaltext] The American Health Care

The American Health Care System
    The US is one of the few industrialized countries that do not have a centralized health insurance system. Development of a universal health care program in the US may be difficult / because taxes are too low to finance it. / But the federal government has become more involved in all aspects of health care. / Most Americans depend on employer-sponsored health insurance. / Health maintenance organizations are becoming popular, / and many companies have carried out their own programs to insure employees.
