Umongameli wethu omusha kungenzeka ukuthi akekho eHhovisi le-Oval okwamanje, kepha izinguquko ziyenzeka-futhi ziyashesha.

I-ICYMI, iSenethi kanye neNdlu sezivele zithatha izinyathelo zokuqeda i-Obamacare (aka the Affordable Care Act). Besazi ukuthi isitifiketi sezempilo sabesifazane singashintsha lapho uDonald Trump ethatha isikhundla sobumongameli kanye namaRephabliki aphethe iSenate neNdlu (futhi impela, sesivele sibheke ngasekupheleni kokulawulwa kokuzalwa kwamahhala). Kodwa, siyaphakama: Amaphakethe akho anyanga zonke e-BC akuzona kuphela izindleko zokunakekelwa kwezempilo ezinqandayo ezingase zenyuke kakhulu uma zingafinyeleli uMthetho Wokunakekelwa Kwezinkokhelo (ACA).

Akukona nje kuphela ukuthi ukuqedwa kwe-ACA kungashiya abantu abayizigidi ezingama-20 bengaqinisekisiwe, kepha izindleko zokunakekelwa okujwayelekile njengokuvikela ama-mammograms, ama-colonoscopy kanye nomuthi wokugomela ama-shingles nawo angabona ukunyuka kwentengo enkulu, ngokusho kombiko omusha ka-Amino, ukunakekelwa kwempilo yedijithali yabathengi inkampani. Bamba bagxila ku-database ye-Amino (ehlanganisa cishe bonke odokotela eMelika) futhi babheka izindleko zezinqubo ezinhlanu ezihlukile zokuvikela ezempilo: ama-mammograms, ama-colonoscopies, imigomo ye-shingles, amadivayisi we-intrauterine (IUDs), kanye ne-tubal ligation (aka "ukuthola amashubhu akho iboshiwe") kokubili nge-ACA endaweni kanye nalokho okulindeleke ngemva kokuchithwa.

Imiphumela? I-mammogram elula ingase igcine ikubize u-$267 kanti umgomo wokugomela ishingles ungabiza u-$366, kuyilapho i-colonoscopy evamile ingaba ngaphezulu kuka-$1,600. Iwashi le-tubal ligation lingena cishe ku- $ 4,000. Ucabanga ngokuthola iMirena IUD? Uma ulinda kuze kuphele i-post-ACA, kungakubiza ngaphezu kwe- $ 1,100. Ngenkathi lezi zintengo zihluka ngokwezifundazwe (bheka i-infographic kuma-mammograms, isibonelo, ngezansi), lawa ophakathi amanani alindelekile, ngokusho kocwaningo luka-Amino.

FYI, i-ACA okwamanje kudinga izinkampani zomshuwalense ukuthi zikhokhele amaphesenti ayi-100 ezindleko zezinsizakalo eziningi ezijwayelekile zokuvimbela imishanguzo, ukuhlolwa komdlavuza nokulawulwa kokuzalwa. I-ACA iyahamba, kanjalo nalokho kuhlanganisa.

Khumbula ukuthi lezi zinsizakalo zikhona ukuvimbela futhi kunconywe ngochwepheshe bezokunakekelwa kwe-heath ukwenza ku-reg-ngakho-ke akufanele weqe kubo. I-American Cancer Society (ACS) ize yehlisa nenani lama-mammograms anconyiwe, kepha isabeka ibha ngokuhlolwa kwaminyaka yonke kusukela eminyakeni yobudala engama-45 kuye kwengu-54 bese kuba njalo eminyakeni emibili. AmaColonoscopies awavamile - i-ACS incoma njalo ezinyangeni ezimbalwa njalo eminyakeni eyishumi kuye ngobungozi bakho. Kodwa lokho kuyinto enhle, njengoba zibiza kakhulu. Ngokuqondene ne-tubal ligation? Ngiyabonga ngobuhle leyo yinqubo eyodwa neyenziwe, ngoba ukukhokha i-4K ngaphezu kwesisodwa kungaba ukwelula kwangempela.

"Izinqubomgomo ze-ACA zokuhlolwa kwezempilo kanye nezinsizakalo zokuvimbela zisekelwe ocwaningweni olusunguliwe olubonisa ukuthi ukunakekelwa kokuvimbela kuthuthukisa izimpilo futhi konga imali," kusho uDan Vivero, oyi-CEO ye-Amino. "Abantu baseMelika kufanele basebenzise lezi zinsizakalo zamahhala ezinyangeni ezizayo, njengoba izindleko zingase zishintshele kubo uma izinkampani zomshwalense zingasadingeki ukuthi zikhokhe ngokugcwele."

Izindaba ezimnandi: Okwamanje, i-ACA kusafanele ihlanganise konke lokhu kunakekelwa kokuvimbela, ngakho-ke akukephuzi kakhulu ukubekisa konke ukuqokwa okudingayo manje. Ngemuva kokushesha, besifazane.
