Davis as he will be responsible for the entire premium cost for his coverage. When people are unable to afford private healthcare insurance and have chronic health issues, the burden of the cost of the care for those individuals falls on the healthcare facility, the state and federal governments. If a facility receives reimbursement from state Medicaid or from Medicare, that facility cannot refuse to provide healthcare services to a patient with an emergent health condition. Patients who do not have health insurance will often avoid seeing a primary care provider until their care condition has become serious enough to require emergency care. When patients only seek healthcare from an emergency provider their care is more expensive and may be disjointed because emergency providers do not have access to a patient’s complete medical chart.

Case Study- Module 2 Lois Hammond June 8, 2013 One of the most important things that have affected employers’ costs for benefits is our declining economy. Employers are now facing the challenge of providing competitive benefits while also trying to contain costs (Wish 2012). Some organizations are making employers to seek less expensive forms of healthcare (Wish 2012). Employers are requesting that associates get 2nd opinions, shorter hospital stays, and more utilization of outpatient surgeries to cut benefit costs (Wish 2012). Employers are now requiring employees to spend more out of pocket for benefits due to the rising cost of medical costs.
Obamacare forces people to have health insurance, so it caused those who do not agree with it to make the choice to not get any type of health insurance. For those who did obtain health insurance, it makes it difficult for health care facilities to accept new patients with pre-existing health conditions because there are many insurance companies who do pay for health care for pre-existing health conditions. This can cause problems for health care facilities to obtain payment for services from the insurance companies. Other political forces that may also influence the development of the clinic are the state’s budget that could be distributed among the healthcare industry and where the money is being used, what clinical staff positions are going to be funded, and which programs will be implemented and which ones will be terminated. Many facilities determine what services they are going to be providing by where their facility is located.
