In the film there is undeniable proof that insurance companies make a conscience decision to deny healthcare that’s entitled to their customers. In the film there are also countless Americans that share their heartbreaking but true life experiences. This exposing documentary voices many injustices; there are more than enough people who are willing to share their horrifying stories. For example the Smith’s, they were a family that was pretty well off. Both the husband and the wife had well paying jobs, great health care, but they were still unable to afford the medical treatment that they required.
with all of its technology and high industrial development is still lacking to provide all its citizens health services. The health care system in the U.S. has major faults that affect both patients and physicians. Many Americans lack health insurance, and cannot be seen by a physician routinely. There is a shortage of physicians due to the cost of medical school and of malpractice insurance. In order to provide free education for medical students, malpractice insurance for physicians, and free health care for everyone, taxes need to be raised.
Spaeth career path has given him different views on issues in healthcare and therefore giving him a broad understanding of healthcare business. One of the biggest challenges today, he states is the changing structure of health care and a declining work. The declining workforce is seeing stress on the worker as the skilled and educated employee doesn’t want to work more than eight hours or on the week-ends in a 7- days- a- week, 24- hours- a- day hospital setting. Another major issue is that hospitals are becoming more specialized where top dollar reimbursement can be achieved which leaves a gap in the traditional services. Lastly, the issues of senior leaders not spend enough time mentoring younger leaders (Grazier, 2005).

According to Rosenau, Lai, and Lako (2012), the United States health care industry P4P is one of the most important developments after capitation and managed care. The target of P4P is to change the behavior patients, physicians, and those working in the health care industry through a system of rewards and punishments. The P4P bonus for physicians can become the form of an add-on to his or her salary to the general fee-for-service. A bonus for a hospital can be additional payments beyond the payments received through the diagnosis group based payment. A punishment through the P4P system can end in the reduction of compensation or other penalties.
Obama Care is all about fixing some of the flaws we have in our health care system, and making health care affordable for the public. Although we are the richest country in the world no many of us could afford necessary operations such as covering hospital bills for intensive care surgeries for ill babies, or bypass surgeries for coronary patients (Lawrence R. Wu, 001). If the plan goes into effect there will be decisions made by many to seek preventative care; that before it didn’t have health insurance and wouldn’t take the chance of being turned away or racking up medical expenses. Although having this plan would restrict some of the criteria insurance companies use in deciding whether or not to provide coverage for an individual or not in the end I
The major reason for EBP becoming so widely used is because there is a big deficiency in research-based information to back up clinical decision making (Legg, 2008, p.469). Increasing healthcare cost, treatments, and care due to population aging can be another reason for the boom in EBP (Xiaoshi, 2008, p.6-12). If procedures are done just because that’s the way they have always been done and not because of the research that backs it up, a big problem can occur. Ineffective care is very costly for both patients and health departments, due to patients having to stay in the hospital longer, more procedures being done, and more tests being performed. Health departments have been encouraging the development of EBP so the most effective health care is being used and so the best benefits come out of it (Xiaoshi, 2008, p.6-12).
How can an acceptable quality of healthcare be assured for all? Somia O’Kelley HCA 305 The U.S. Health Care System Professor Shannon Corbett-Perez June 13, 2011 How can an acceptable quality of healthcare be assured for all? Quality Healthcare can be achieved by providing patients with a comprehensive range of services that will ensure adequate and efficient quality care. Since the needs of patients differ from one to another, we must find a system that is beneficial to everyone. When ensuring that every patient receives quality care there are several things we must consider such as healthcare costs, medical technology, and most of all the credentials of physicians chosen to render services to patients.
Everybody would have access to health care through an application process and health care would be paid for based on tax revenue. Based on how much they make would determine how much help from the government they would receive. Every person with health care would receive a “smart card” with medical information and the bill will be sent to the government. The state will set fixed prices on procedures and medication based on income. There will also be a Co-pay every three months, and government would automatically pay for the poor and pregnant women.
