America's health care system is characterized by rising costs, increasing numbers of Americans who lack health insurance coverage, and poor quality of health care delivery. The convergence of these factors is adversely affecting not only the health of Americans but also the ability of businesses to compete successfully in a global marketplace. AARP and other nonprofit organizations are collaborating with the private sector to have more people covered by health insurance and to educate them to make behavioral choices that prevent chronic disease and ultimately lower costs.
美国的医疗保健系统具有成本不断上升、未参保的美国人数量不断增加以及医疗服务质量低下等特点。这些因素的共同作用不仅对美国人的健康产生了不利影响，也影响了企业在全球市场成功竞争的能力。美国退休人员协会（AARP）和其他非营利组织正在与私营部门合作，以使更多人获得医疗保险，并教育他们做出预防慢性病并最终降低成本的行为选择。
