Expenses of medical treatment in America have accounted for 20% of the GDP of this country, which is even equal to the GDP of Germany. When President Obama came to the stage, he made a promise, that is to change the functions of the wall street and the medical treatment situations in this country, so the slogan of Obama at the time is “to change”.
