U.S. medical insurance system is as follows:
(A) private medical insurance
U.S. private insurance is a major feature of the employer to pay insurance premiums for employees (Employer-Provided Insurance), such cases accounted for about 90 percent. This is the practice during World War II wage and price controls as a result of the accident. As medical insurance health of the non-wage benefits, was not subject to government regulation, employers will use it to attract workers. Of course, this situation has the United States income tax on certain provisions in the tax laws of reason.
Before the 1980s, most private insurance companies to pay for insurance are accountable (Cost-Based Reimbursement), but this mechanism is not conducive to encourage people to save, facing rapidly rising medical costs, insurance companies would try to switch to other methods, The most important is "the charges were" (Capitation-Based Reimbursement) method. According to this method, medical units a year by collecting a certain medical expenses. "Health care organizations" (HMOS) is a large-scale medical insurance organizations, based on in this way. However, this method has drawbacks, is less selective.
(B) social health insurance
The U.S. government's medical insurance is a specifically the social insurance system of government-funded social insurance item. It started in 1965, to the elderly over the age of 65 to provide medical insurance, social security is second only to the Government's fiscal second-largest expenditure item. Medical insurance coverage from the federal government responsible for the management, policy coherence among the states.
The Government had established three categories of major medical insurance coverage: health insurance (Medicare), medical subsidies (Medicaid) and the tax system through the federal income tax on private insurance, the implied subsidies. Government medical subsidies (Medicaid), to a large extent with the financial transfer payment functions. Medical subsidies and medical insurance project is the difference between a project, which is designed for the poor, about health care subsidies to low-income, including the cost of hospital treatment of 80 percent, less than most private insurance through the hospital to raise fees to resolve. The latter is designed for the elderly, there is no direct link between the two. As private insurance companies can not own such a large scale of competence, such a wide scope of medical insurance, government intervention in the elderly health insurance market. Medical insurance implied in the federal tax laws in accordance with government subsidies, individual wages need to pay social insurance payroll taxes and personal income tax. By the employer to pay medical insurance premiums do not have to pay tax. Self-employed by private owners, and medical insurance costs of 25 percent is tax-free.

First, medical insurance system overview of U.S.A.
The system of medical insurance of U.S.A. is formed by private medical insurance and social medical insurance. U.S.A. all industrialized country only to give all people their offer basic medical treatment service country directly, but have special public medical care of charge free to the population under certain poverty line, but if a family income exceeds this poverty line, have no right to enjoy such free medical care. The medical insurance system of U.S.A. is roughly as follows:
(1) private medical insurance
A big characteristic of U.S.A.'s private insurance is that an employer pays the insurance premium (Employer-Provided Insurance) for employees, this kind of situation accounts for 90%. This is a kind of accident result implementing salary and price control of government during World War II. It is not the salary welfare because of health care of medical insurance, not controlled by the government at that time, the employer attracts workers with it. Certainly, this kind of situation has a reason on some clauses in American income tax tax law too.
Before the eighties, most private methods of paying insurance premium of insurance company were all to reimburse the cost (Cost-Based Reimbursement), but this kind of mechanism is unfavorable to encouraging people to save, face the sharply surging hospitalization cost, the insurance company tries to use other methods instead, among them the main one " charges the method according to people " (Capitation-Based Reimbursement). In this way, the medical unit collects certain hospitalization cost according to people every year. It is organized, take this kind of method as the core by a larger medical insurance that " medical treatment ensures organizing " (HMOS). However, this kind of method has a drawback, is mainly that an alternative is relatively bad.
(2) social medical insurance
The medical insurance of the U.S. government is that a kind of social insurance system referred in particular to belongs to the social insurance project of government's subsidy. It originates in 1965, offers the medical insurance to the elderly to 65, second only to the second major government finance expenditure in the social security project. The medical insurance project is managed by federal government, the policy is unified among every state.
The government has set up three kinds of main medical insurance projects: The medical insurance (Medicare), replenish (Medicaid) in medical treatment and through implying and replenishing to private insurance of tax system of federal income tax. Government medical treatment replenish project, function with financial transfer payment to a great extent. The difference of replenishing the project and medical insurance project of medical treatment is, the former is designed for poverty person, it is probably including hospital treatment expenses of the low income person 80% for medical treatment not to replenish, insufficient component improve, charge, solve through hospital to person who insures individual. The latter is designed for the elderly, has not got in touch directly between the two. Because private insurance company oneself competent at scale to be so huge involving surfacing so wide medical insurance while being impossible, the government gets involved on market of the elderly's medical insurance. The implicit government replenishes according to the federal tax law in the medical insurance, the personal salary income needs to pay social insurance salary tax and Individual Income Tax at the same time. The medical insurance premium paid by the employer needn't be paid duty on. The private owner employed oneself, 25% of the medical insurance premium are duty-free.
