One of the goals of socialized medicine is ensuring universal access to health care. Even though this will take a long time to be achieved because people’s opinions are split based on their political views and income. Most democrats believe that socialized medicine is the way to go to help people less fortunate. Where most Republicans believe that there to many cons towards socialized medicine to go with it and there are other ways to help people than a uniform health care for
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.
Children would get the proper medical attention because with a national health care system their parents could afford health insurance. As Chris Farrell stated “no matter how the tab is met, the biggest myth in public policy today is that we can't afford universal health insurance
Healthcare is very different from other free enterprise systems as there are many licensures that are required by various professionals and facilities, and some choose self-regulation via accreditation facilities. There is also a huge regulation due to the need of cost containment via certificate of need laws. These laws ensure that healthcare organizations are not just built on top of each other increasing cost for the consumer. This makes healthcare different from other organizations. Why don't we just let government take over all of health care and quit pretending it's a competitive business
The current alternative to the fee-for-services is the capitation arrangement. The physicians believe that the pay-for-performance is controlling how that he or she conducts the practice, but it will eliminate many expensive and unnecessary procedures (Shi & Singh, 2012).The pay-for-performance in the United States healthcare industry comes after the capitation and managed care and if managed correctly will become an asset and if not it will become a major blunder. The goal of pay-for-performance is to change patient behavior and doctors and hospitals with a rewards systems or punishment. A pay-for-performance bonus for doctors can be an increase for the general fee-for-service hospitals can receive an extra in the form of the diagnosis group-based payment (Shi & Singh,
Also the medical professionals can concentrate more on treating the patient rather than the insurance procedures and malpractice liability. Universal healthcare is needed because insurance is becoming unaffordable for businesses and individuals. Having a universal healthcare system would be great because everyone in the United States would be treated equaly when it comes to seeking medical attention.
Ways to increase compliance in the elderly. Increasing compliance in the elderly deems a decrease in the amount of hospitalizations and emergent care for these patients. Most elderly patients are diagnosed with multiple medical conditions which require multiple medications (Brandt, Hanna, & Walters, 2013). All these medications cost money as well as a tremendous responsibility to the patient. Money can become a big issue with compliance, but money is not the only reason why elderly are non-compliant with their medications.
Of course, that isn’t the standard in this country or anywhere else for that matter. Unless it’s an emergency, there are some places that want even consider seeing you. This country is one the wealthiest and greediest in the world. If you consider all of the money we waste on entertainment and other vain self-indulgences, we should be able to provide free health care on some level to everyone.
The most obvious answer is an increase in taxes and the cutting of extraneous federal spending. Yes, by having universal health care the government will have to budget more strategically and plan another expense into its finances. However, politicians fail to realize that this cost can be overridden by a subtle tax increase. Despite the complaints, most Americans agree that they would be willing to pay more taxes in return for more services such as health care (Universal Access 12). Moreover, we should also keep in mind that Americans today pay some of the lowest taxes in the world, and that developed nations in Europe may spend up to one third of their annual salary in taxes.
I think it is sad to live in the greatest country in the world and not everyone has access to free or even affordable health care. Some people have insurance; some have government help and some work hard but can't afford insurance. When kids are sick, parents should be able to bring them to the doctor and get medicine. When elderly people need medicines, they shouldn't have to go without them because they are too expensive. I think that if we didn't have so many lawsuits in our country, doctors wouldn't have to charge so much and more people could go to the doctor when they need it.
