Abstract :
Improvement in health care is one of the primary goals for both developing and developed countries. In this presidential election in the United States, this aspect has been prioritized for the campaigns. Though health care is an individualized approach and should depend on patient and health care providers, but it is mainly defined by the insurance companies and coverage. The United States, despite of being the leading investor in health care, have not reached the satisfactory health potential. The ongoing campaign can be a constructive step towards designing future health policy solutions. There are three main concerns that need to be addressed which include (a) continuation or repeal of Affordable Care Act (ACA), (b) budgeting the expenditure on health care and biomedical research, and (c) extending the Medicare program for the beneficiaries
