'Affordable Care Act'라고 불리는 건강 보험이 올해 1630만 명의 신청자를 돌파했다는 소식이다. 이는 거의 10년 전, 이 프로그램이 처음 출범했을 때의 숫자의 두 배라고 수요일 발표했다. 

 

More than 3 million new members joined the marketplace, also known as “Obamacare,” according to the Department of Health and Human Services.

 

한때 굉장한 이슈를 불러일으켰던 '오바마 케어' 또한 3백 만명 이상의 새로운 가입자가 생겼다고 한다. 

 

The government worked with nonprofit groups and invested in program specialists who helped to sign people up in low-income, immigrant, Black and Latino communities to enroll more people, said Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

정부와 비영리 단체, 그리고 이러한 프로그램에 투자하는 전문가들은 저소득층, 이민자, 흑인과 라틴계 커뮤니티의 사람들로부터 이러한 프로그램에 등록하는 것을 지속적으로 지원하고 있다고 밝혔다.

 

President Joe Biden and a Democratic-led Congress have committed millions of dollars over the past two years into unlocking low-cost insurance plans for more people and prohibiting states from kicking people off Medicaid during the COVID-19 pandemic. The marketplace itself has also evolved in recent years, with more insurers joining, giving an overwhelming majority of Americans at least three plans to consider during enrollment.

미국 조 바이든 대통령과 Democratic 의회는 저소득층 사람들에게 더 많은 의료의 기회를 제공해주기 위해, 더불어 코로나19 팬데믹 사태에서 사람들에게 충분한 의료 서비스를 제공해주기 위해 수 많은 돈을 투자했다고 한다. 더불어, 위와 언급된 시장이 스스로 커지고 확장되고 있으며, 미국인의 대부분이 이러한 보험에 가입할 수 있도록 더욱 장려할 계획이라고 언급했다. 

 

The significant progress on lowering the uninsured rate across the country, however, is threatened this year. Millions of people expected to lose their Medicaid coverage starting this spring when states will begin the process of removing people who are no longer eligible, in many cases because their income is now too high to qualify.

 

하지만, 전국적으로 미보험자의 비율을 줄이기 위한 노력은 올해 큰 장애물과 마주했다. 주 정부가 더 이상 자격이 없는 사람들을 제거하는 절차를 시작하는 올 봄부터 수백만 명의 사람들이 메디케이드 혜택을 잃을 것으로 예상되는데, 많은 경우 그들의 소득이 자격을 얻기에는 너무 높기 때문이다.

 

A portion of those people are expected to transition from Medicaid to the marketplace, and the administration said it is spending $12 million to keep information specialists on the job in the coming months to help people enroll in the health law’s marketplace if they lose Medicaid coverage.

 

그들 중 일부는 Medicaid 시스템에서 의료보험 시장으로 전환될 가능성이 높다고 보았고, 정부는 만약 그들이 Medicaid 혜택을 잃을시 의료 보험에 대한 충분한 정보와 지원을 위해 전문가를 고용하는 등 지원을 아끼지 않을 것이라고 밝혔다.
