Three forces that have affected the development of the health care system in the United States is the government, insurance companies, and the American people. The first force that has affected the development of the health care system in the United States is the government. The government has affected the development of the health care system because they control practically everything that has to do with healthcare. They are the ones that create the policies which every health care organization has to abide by and the cost that follows these policies. The government knows that with each policy they pass, costs will be the number one topic because health care organizations has to buy medical supplies and equipment and everybody has to get paid. Very big decisions are made on a daily basis regarding the rise and fall of costs in the health care system by the government and the government has to make sure there is enough money to go around for everything, so health care facilities can buy these items and pay their employees. The policies they make has a big part in the development of the health care system and one of the main entities that are affected is the insurance companies because of the insurance they provide to the United States citizens that require care. Insurance companies are the second force that has affected the development of the health care system in the United States. Insurance companies are the ones that provide insurance to Americans so that they can visit health care organizations and be seen and not have to worry about coming out of their pocket and pay for such a high bill. Insurance companies are supposed to provide the help that people need to pay for these doctor's visits but in most cases this is not the case
