There was also a lack of communication amongst FEMA and ARC, which contributed to slow response times in both instances (347). ARC has a policy in place on screening volunteers; however, they failed to follow their own procedures during Hurricane Katrina, which ultimately resulted in mismanagement of donated funds to the organization. This caused investors to question if they should remain loyal to such an unethical organization. Customer satisfaction was low and citizens started to wonder whether or not they should continue to donate to cause. The organization relies heavily on donations from both the public and private sectors, therefore the actions of the organization that occurred after these disasters could result in a decline in their bottom line.
This means the government does not see the need to have as many fire men/women and therefore made many redundant and closed down fire stations in order to save money. This has caused an upset, both with fire men and women local residents as they believe the service times may increase as there is not as many available in comparison to before the redundancies. The same can be said about the police force, there has been a vast decrease between the amount of people the police force take on and train and allow to become a member of the police force as they simply cannot take on the amount that may be needed due to government cutbacks and financial policies. However, a positive affect that can be said about financial policies that result on cutbacks for public services could be that as money is saved for example in reducing the amount of fire stations and fire men/women, the money could be invested in an alternative public service such as the paramedic service or the NHS in order to
John majors government came into office after the downfall of Margret Thatcher, which ultimately created divisions within the party. Not only did the party suffer from the internal conflict but also faced the problems of the recession after the ‘Lawson boom’. In order to stabilise the economy he joined the ERM getting a good deal but ultimately resulting in ‘black Wednesday’ causing Major to raise interest rates to 15%. This was political suicide and he soon lost the support of the press we had once relied so much on to get re-elected in 1992. The housing market also plummeted leading to negative equity, which the majority of the working class could not afford resulting in the repossession of their houses combined with the drastic increase in unemployment Britain was in a mess.
Homelessness September 8, 2011 Abstract Homelessness is becoming an increasing problem in the United States. Loss of jobs and decreasing wages since the recession have contributed to this increase. Veterans and mentally ill people do not get the support they need to maintain their own housing. The government helps some of these people but it lacks the funding needed to help everyone who needs it. The United States needs to find a way to put more people to work at wages that will enable them to afford housing.
Marion Jacobs indicates a decrease in the number of doctors and teachers. Since then, with her exaggeration, she blames all of the faults on the shortages of teachers and doctors. It is not really make sense, because the medical and education are affected by many aspects, not just the shortage of teachers and doctors. In addition, she believes that people who hold degrees are healthier than others, she says it without evidences and the researches that she mentions are unreliable. In fact, a lot of degree holders do not have good health because of long time focus on studying.
For instance, they may be able to start up with a new idea. | During recession, Innocent’s confidence will get low as people aren’t demanding for their products as they demanded before. This leads Innocent to cut down on production because they no longer need to make many goods as they used to. Because people are not buying as many products so their sales will decrease. By this time, Innocent might struggle to pay wages so they need cut down staffs as they no longer need them.
The people who were spending money were the poor more often than the rich; the poor were getting poorer and the rich were essentially becoming richer because even though there was no money to make, they were not spending. In the 1980s and 90s, economists argued that the Federal Reserve had caused banks to decrease their willingness to loan money, which lead to a severe decrease in consumption and in investment because no one had any money to spend. (Szostak 2003). Many people also blamed Hoover for the recession. Hoover was the president at the time.
How they are treated in hospitals There are a few negative news being reported that hospitals don’t have too much care for disabled people. The recent news said that ‘NHS accused over deaths of disabled patients’ (The Guardian, 2012) and ‘Disabled patients dying due to 'institutional discrimination' in NHS’ (The Telegraph, 2012). It was said that the hospitals are not treating the people with disabilities properly like they should be doing. It have been reported that these things happen because of discrimination: ‘Hospital staff put a “do not resuscitate” order on the medical file of a man with Down’s syndrome purely because of his disability’ (The Telegraph, 2012). Discrimination has been a really big factor to the people with special needs; it has been helping to make their lives worse.
Patients who were admitted came to the hospitals much sicker, and you had more folks to care for at the same time, with less help. This was not fair to you or those in your care. Conclusion Managed care was born out of a good idea, basically to help curb the rising cost of health care. In essence it should have been the answer. But because of the greediness of some just as in other models what started out as good ended up not being able to provide the quality care at an affordable price like was promised.
Companies have been able to fill some of the cracks by letting the government take care of the people more likely to get sick. An example of that would be Medicare for the elderly and Medicaid for the poor. At the same time over the years employers have found the cost of health care becoming a significant drain on their profits. Many have quit providing it for this very reason. Stories of people dying because they had illnesses that were left undiagnosed due to not having insurance to seek healthcare are becoming more frequent.
