It isn’t right for Obama Care to force everyone to get health insurance but it is the most logically because insurance companies cannot deny anyone so that everyone can be covered. There are about 32 million people who don't have health insurance. If something happens, and they have to go to the hospital, they often just don't pay the bill, and the hospital has to cover it. To cover the costs, hospitals raise the prices of health care for everyone and if the prices are raised then the more a hospital patient that’s covered by
Of those centers, only 80 percent of them saw on average less than one Canadian per month and 40 percent had seen no Canadians in the preceding year (Aaron E. Carrol, 2012). Even further, 99.39% of Canadians said they do not come to the U.S. for care, 0.5% come to the U.S. for care electively, and 0.11% come to the US for emergency care (Phantoms in the Snow: Canadians' Use of Health Care Services in the United States, 2002). America’s 20 “best” hospitals were also surveyed assuming Canadians that were traveling for health care would go to the best hospitals we have to offer, and only one out of the 11 hospitals that responded saw greater than 60 Canadians in a year. Finally, data from the surveys of the 18,000 Canadians that participated in the National Population Health Survey was obtained, and only 90 out of the 18,000 had received care in the U.S. with only 20 of those 90 ventured to the U.S. expressly for health care (Aaron E. Carrol,
Imagining a system where the doctor spends more time keeping you healthy with new methods, treatments and information, then he or she does in treating any illness. The status quo is not an option as some politicians claim because 14,000 people lose their health insurance every single day. This is on top of the 46-million who are already uninsured for various reasons. Obama’s healthcare reform will answer most of these
It is approximately a million dollars for health service. As for that, Sade declared “American prisons are in deep trouble: they are overpopulated, understaffed, and underfunded.” If the prisons ran out of the money, they could not come up with the money and no opportunities. In that circumstance, prisons would have to say no to the
Talking about the 18,000 people who die a year because they don't have health insurance and the ones that do go broke, loose their houses and even go bankrupt because of health insurance co-pays. Not to mention the one seventy nine year old man the video showed, having to work at the age of 79 to afford his wife's medicine even though he was on medicaide, and will have to work till he dies. Then the part where the video
Chantra Horton ACC281 Accounting Concepts for Health Care Professional The California Sutter Health Approach Mark Strictlett January 30, 2012 An increasing issue within the health care field is the inability to collect debt from the growing population of uninsured or underinsured patients. Health care organizations may be struggling to meet operational margins because the industry has never treated its customers like other retail- oriented sectors of the economy. Hospitals incur sixty billion dollars in bad debt annually because the typically collect only ten to twenty percent of a total uninsured patient balance after service. This is due to a number of reasons, including poor accounting practices, or a lack of patient information.
Who are the Uninsured? U.S. is without a question the leading industrial country of scientific and medical advances. It does seem like every year there is break news that’s related to medicals, especially in the cure of certain diseases. The country spends most of the money on health care yet many people, majority are the working class Americans are still without some form of health insurance. Middle class working American without any type of health insurance are the uninsured in America today.
The current organ donation system has clearly failed at addressing the reoccurring issue with the lack of organ donations as a result many have died and is currently costing the country Billions of dollars. Statistic from June16, 2004 shows that there were 85,744 waiting list candidates waiting to receive an organ and only 6540 transplant were made which is only a mere ten percent of the waiting list (Richard, Schultz 332). This public turmoil had caused many innovative researcher and economist to come up with solution for the ongoing lack of donations in the United States and the world. Unfortunately moral and ethical concerns will have to be the opportunity cost of all the life could be
People who live in countries that have nationalized health care have to wait on very long waiting lists before they are treated sometimes. For example there was a woman in Canada that needed a brain C-T scan but the waiting list in Canada was six months long. So her sister brought to the United States to have the test done and they found that she had a brain tumor and needed surgery immediately. Had she waited in Canada she would have died waiting for treatment (Erbe, 2009). The U.S. has a higher quality of health care than most other nations around the world.
Health Care My current event is on health care reform. The House passed the health Care Reform Bill on Sunday, March 21, 2010. The Health Care reform bill is for the people who can’t afford health insurance. There are millions of people who don’t have health insurance and if they get sick they can’t go to get medical treatment. Passing health care reform does a lot more than give people health insurance.
