In “Yes, Let’s Pay for Organs”, Charles Krauthammer argues the fact that receiving money for donated organs from the dead is an ethnical proposition. First off, it’s stated that 62,000 Americans desperately need organ transplants to save their life. Krauthammer declares that this is a very good reason why we should be reimbursed for organs. Secondly he reasons that not just the poor would benefit from this payment. Both the rich and poor would accept money to help pay for something.
From the research that I made I come up with financial incentives to be a major step to be taken for the reduction of patient wait time. If heal care professionals are being paid enough for the service they provide they will be stay and new health care professionals will be enticed by the financial compensation and they will join the health care sector. This will give more health care service providers to the ever increasing demand of health service which in turn reduces patient wait
Although this is correct, the government uses taxpayer money to fund wars for our “well-being” and safety so why shouldn’t Healthcare also be funded in this way? Healthcare is just as important to the safety and well-being of our nation. As a lack of Facilities may also pose a problem, a government assisted program to build hospitals and medical facilities would allow for more job creation and in return more citizens paying taxes and contributing to the system. Another argument that has been made is that guaranteeing healthcare to all Americans will lead to “moral hazard”, as it is believed people will take riskier actions knowing they are guaranteed coverage. I feel that just because someone has coverage doesn’t mean they will be more willing to injure themselves.
Placing the $2,500, deductible into the process would eliminate the “Moocher of Free Riders” because everyone would be paying in and, would possibly reduce people going to the doctor for any and every symptom. Conversely, having the deductible could place a burden on those in lower income brackets and prevent them from seeking medical care because of the deductible. For some, it could be a choice between a doctor’s visit and feeding the family. Question 2: One of
Braulio Sanchez 5118986 Singer’s Unrealistic Solution In the New York Times article, “The Singer Solution to World Poverty,” Peter Singer tries to persuade his audience to donate a huge chunk of their annual earnings to charities that assist those children that are impoverished overseas. Singer does this by proposing almost insane, unrealistic ideas, such as donating more than half of their income and only living off of necessities. This, of course, is preposterous because as humans we want to have luxury items such as expensive TVs and fancy cars so we can enjoy our leisure time. When looking at this article its ineffectiveness becomes clear; this article in its entirety is a giant appeal to the readers’ emotions with not enough logical or reasonable arguments to support his argument. Although Singer has strong ethos because of his status as a philosopher, his essay is ineffective due to his misuse of two certain scenarios in order to persuade people to donate by making them feel guilty & relies far too much on pathos to persuade his audience rather than focusing on logos and ethos.
Congress through legislation should set regulations for ART and Insurance coverage. This would eliminate the possibility of physicians using a patient’s disease and extreme desire for a family to get rich quick. It would also cut down the number of multiple births making the pregnancy’s that do result from procedures like IVF all around more successful and healthy for both patients and
These things are not a necessity of life. It would also help people to quit smoking, drinking and cut down on unhealthy eating, all are of which a big medical expense, I believe that taxes should be raised on the rich. And I feel that our prisoners should be sent to war instead of our kids fresh out of high school, people that contribute positively to society, fathers expecting their first child, someone that has already served some time in a war, etc. The money it costs to house, feed, clothed, educate, medical and dental for prisoners would be better served sending prisoners to war. I do believe that we have solutions for better budget cuts.
It also covers a number of preventive services without charging a probate deductible. Insurances providers will be required to publicly justify rate increase, and consumers will now have the ability to appeal to an independent third party when providers deny coverage for services. This Act is very beneficial to me in numerous of ways, simply because I have a real bad asthma problem and all the treatments I need are very expensive. My family isn’t really financially able to afford the medicine I need so thanks to the Affordable Healthcare Act signed by Obama more Americans as well as I are either fully insured or have some type of insurance. Middle class Americans who wasn’t able to apply for Medicaid are now eligible
Consider the political and cultural difficulties that are in the way of making dying more humane, cost-worthy, and dignified. Now picture a new reality: widely available and socially acceptable killing of patients who are terminally ill. Why even mess with raising the taxes for insuring good hospice care for everyone? Why increase research dollars to find and develop more effective pain management? Why take the more difficult road to make the process of dying more humane when there is a shortcut that terminates the dying process itself? Financial pressures also may lead to incentives for active killing by putting a limit on funding for terminal care.
These people will get to contribute to society by paying higher taxes to support this fancy new health care act that helps those who find working extremely uninteresting. As you can see, new standards for a bright future is doing nothing at all and being able to live off the government. I don’t know about you, but I think my new calling is going to be collecting all the money the government has to offer me. Forget being a doctor, where you will go through countless years of college, have an overwhelming number of patients and get paid less. Or maybe I will go into pharmacy, many years of schooling for what?
