About this Quote

It highlights the reality that the cost of care is concealed from the public, as it is spent for through taxes. This suggests that lots of Americans are unaware of the real cost of their healthcare, and are instead relying on Medicaid to spend for their long term care. This dependence on Medicaid is a result of the covert expenses of care, and it is a major concern in the United States healthcare system. The quote also indicates that the present system is not sustainable, as it is not providing appropriate access to health care for all Americans. This is an issue that needs to be addressed in order to make sure that everybody has access to the care they need.
