They belonged to a largely rural society, and few among them would ever have occasion to visit a hospital. Hospitals in the United States emerged from institutions, notably almshouse, that was provided care and custody for the ailing poor. Rooted in this tradition of charity, the public hospital traces its ancestry to the development of cities and community efforts to shelter and care for the chronically ill, deprived, and disabled. A six-bed ward founded in 1736 in the New York City Almshouse became, over the course of a century and more, Bellevue Hospital. The predecessor of Charity Hospital in New Orleans opened its doors the same year.
#1 Essay 10 of the book Second Thought tells us that money has important impact on issues of mortality and health. “According to the World Health Organization, 1.2 billion people around the world suffer from serious illnesses attributable to poverty.” (p.104) This is because of the poor health care and the bad life quality that low-wage workers have. The fact has been proved through Ehrenreich’s journey in Minnesota where housing was a serious problem. With only 7$ an hour at Wal-Mart, she could only afford a room in Clearview motel with no bolts on the door and no screen on the window. The author felt exposed and unsafe.
The FWP progressed from a set of tour books, educational pamphlets, to essays of the state guides, ethnic studies, and folklore studies. The FWP's Life in America series had 150 volumes on a range of topics. Interviews with former slaves, farm and cotton-mill owners, and workers published in These Are Our Lives (1939) this gave more knowledge on American history. Larger defense budget in the years leading up to World War II took money away from the FWP. By 1939, budget cuts had forced the project to scale down to 3,500 workers, although it was so popular that every state provided money to keep it alive when Congress reduced funding in 1939.
Comparing the numbers of troops there are some similarities. In 1991 during the Gulf War, 500,000 allied troops stood against the Iraqi forces. However, the casualties during the engagement were 149 allied soldiers killed and approximately 500 injured. Though there was a cease-fire until 2003, the US has been involved in Iraq. In 2003, the start of the recent outbreak American troops has increased to 150,000 and by 2005 had increased to 175,000.
B. Results The results of the Massachusetts reform have been encouraging along a number of dimensions.3 First, there has been a dramatic expansion of health insurance coverage in the state. The data vary across sources, with state-level data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) showing a 60 percent decline in the uninsured since 2006 — over a period of time where the share of the national population without insurance was rising by 6 percent — and data collected by the state’s Division of Health Care Finance and Policy showing a decline of 70 percent.4 Either number indicates a sizeable reduction in the number of uninsured, with Massachusetts having by far the lowest uninsurance rate in the nation. A major concern with such a large expansion in access to care is that it will cause congestion on the supply side of the market. Indeed, many have argued that we have a chronic shortage of primary care physicians in the United States and that expanding coverage will only worsen that shortage.
According to FEMA reports, in September 26, 2005, they have already approved 265,000 applications for temporary housing payments. Eventually, many families will resettle back into their homes or even join in new communities, but regardless, families and communities have been dramatically transformed by the storm.

Due to the city’s social composition, the storm most heavily impacted the poor and African Americans, who were less likely to have connected to the workforce and were educationally disadvantaged.
Identify and describe three reasons why there may be a physician shortage rather than a surplus in the U.S. William &ump; Torrens (2010) provided a table to show the first time since 1965, between 2000 and 2005, there was a slight decrease in the ratio of physicians per 100,000 civilian populations. The three reasons why there is a physician shortage rather than a surplus in the United States is caused first of all by more restrictive elements that have been blunted due to widespread physician and patient dissatisfaction, particularly with limits of choice (Williams &ump; Torrens, page 270). The move away from more efficient forms of organized medical practice commonly means that more physicians will be necessary to deliver the same level
According to the Census Bureau, 43.6 million Americans had no health insurance in 2002. American expansive healthcare system got thousands of Americans to bankruptcy each year.
