The healthcare landscape in the United States is a complicated one. There are federal health insurance plans for low-income individuals namely Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s health insurance program) and Medicare for seniors and the disabled. Aside from these, people must buy private health insurance or be left uninsured because the U.S. is the only high-income country without universal healthcare coverage. Hospitals in the U.S., therefore, receive payment from multiple payers. Most revenue generated by U.S. hospitals comes from private insurance, self, or other payments. The complexity of this multi-payer system is instrumental to the U.S. having the highest administrative health costs per capita among wealthy nations.
