According to a 2009 study by the World Health Organization, the U.S. healthcare system ranks 37th among the healthcare systems of 200 countries. The U.S. healthcare expenditure is considered to be one of the highest in the world, accounting for 17.5% of its GDP in 2009, as compared to an average of 8% to 9% in countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

This has been a major factor necessitating healthcare reform, along with increasing healthcare costs and health premium rates, as well as the high number of the uninsured (about 47 million or approximately 16% of the total population).

President Obama signed the health reform into law in March 2010 to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare, address the inefficiencies of the existing healthcare structure, and to decrease the number of uninsured people in the U.S. The health reform bill outlines several provisions such as universal health coverage, cost containment, increase in insurance market competition, excise tax on medical device manufacturers, and lower drug costs for Medicaid and Medicare. The health reform provisions thus directly impact the U.S. healthcare industry and its stakeholders.

The report forecasts and analyzes the future impact of the health reforms on the U.S. healthcare industry. This covers direct as well as indirect impacts of the provisions on pharmaceutical, medical devices, and health insurance industries. Indirect impact refers to provisions that do not specifically apply to these industries. Each section offers a strategic analysis of the impact of Obama’s health reforms on the U.S. healthcare structure.
