Persuasion: People and Society “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane” (Martin Luther King, Jr.). Do you agree with this statement? Write an essay persuading readers of your point of view. Support your arguments with evidence from appropriate sources. There are many inequalities in modern society, and unequal health care is one of the worst kinds of injustice. The health care inequity in the world is associated with each country imbalanced distribution of economic resources and social resources. Because of this, most people can’t get complete health care rights from government, so it’s unprofitable for each country to mend people’s well-being. Owing to the urban-and-rural …show more content…
In addition, rural hospital cannot support a seasonable precaution instantly, because their patients have no money to pay for it. If the hospital which is in countryside cannot support instant remedy, the patients who get high-risk symptom will become more severe than before. The most fundamental reason of this phenomenon is that the people in countryside have low income from their job, and China has a large amount of population. Based on this, China ignores the peasants and puts a high value on urban people. If there is unequal health care system in society, it will exacerbate social problems such as different social classes. It is reflected in not only the complete health care funds, but also reflected in the impact of unemployment leads to no health care funds. From past to now, the only thing that has changed is the health care fund that government give people. Different health care fund of people has become corrupt from past to now. In the past, especially at the reform of Mao, whatever which classes of the people could get a full health care from government; however, right now, health care system is not complete (Shenglan, T &Hougaard, J). That lead to a phenomenon that rich corporations’ member is supported full health care, but poor individuals’ health care might be eliminated. Free staffs might lose the health care because they don 't have reliable jobs, but at the period of after Mao’s liberation, they would
Many would agree that a worthy, controlled health system, above all, should essentially contribute to good health. The responsibility of a health care system is that the organization of people, institutions, and resources deliver the health care services required and meet the health needs of focus populations. Another duty that the health care systems stimulate is the reduction of inequality to race, gender, social status and religion. Each health care system is different when looking at specific countries across the world, however some countries are more similar than others, such as France and Canada’s health care system. These two countries have numerous similarities when examining their health care systems, conversely that does not denote that both France and Canada are just as equivalent as the other. When observing countless aspects, such as longevity and infant mortality, as well as a lot of the inputs such as doctors or beds per capita, and of course the total expenditure on health as a percentage of GDP over the year, it is seen that France has a better and more enhanced health care system than Canada.

Health has been influenced by many factors such as poor health status, disease risk factors, and limited access to healthcare. All these factors are due to social, economic and environmental disadvantages. According to the World Organization (WHO) (2015), “the social determinants of health are mostly responsible for health inequities, which is the unfair and avoidable differences in health status seen within and between countries”

“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and social wellbeing, and not just the absence of disease” (WHO, 1974). Health inequalities are the differences in health or healthcare opportunities in different societies this may be due to income,
Providing healthcare coverage to all citizens can be challenging to many countries and only the most developed countries have adequate resources to truly provide universal coverage to their citizens. Still, when coverage and resources are not sufficient, care is rationed through limited supply or limited access. Most countries have mechanisms in place, however, to insure that affordability does not limit access to necessary services.
Is it possible for two countries which are thousands of kilometers away from each other to have some similarities in their health care system? Health care system is one of the most important and fundamental sectors in any country or region all around the world. Many countries pour a major amount of their overall income to support the health care system. And the main reason behind this tremendous effort provided by the countries all around the world for the health care system is that each country wants to provide a good and high standard health care services for all the population occupying the land whether they were local citizens or Non- local citizens . This essay will compare and contrast the health care system in two wonderful countries:
One of the great hypocrisies of American culture is found in its health care system. The United States claims in its Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal” and that all of these men have the inalienable rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Yet this is the same country that allows over 120 people to die each day because they are uninsured. How can this nation claim that all are created equal and have a right to life when they deny healthcare to those who cannot afford it? This issue has come on the scene relatively soon, having only truly been discussed beginning in the early 20th century. Since that time, a fear of socialism stemming from tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union throughout the century has placed a stigma on the concept of universal health care because it is similar to the Soviet’s socialized medicine. In recent years, President Obama made great strides toward universal health care by passing the Affordable Care Act, but some would argue that while America is on the right track, more can be done to care for the nation’s poor. Others argue that the economic impact of such policies could cause problems for America. Though creating a universal health care system has complex logistical and economic consequences, health care is an internationally acknowledged human right and should not be denied to the American people.

Introduction Universal healthcare is a system assigned by the government, stressing that every member of the society (legally registered within the region) receive health coverage by default, irrespective of their social background, status, and income, or their medical histories. (Post,2016) Critics towards universal healthcare argue that despite improvements in public health nationwide, the government might. This paper highlights factors against universal health care system and advocates that government should prioritize groups of the population who are on critical issues, such as vicious cases like cancer and emergencies. Followed by people who are in real need of treatments, such as diseases that affect their daily functionings and social
This paper discusses the ideas presented by Richard Wilkinson, in the video How economic inequality harms societies (2011). Three compelling concepts arise from the video which are that there was no longer a correlation between gross national income and health and social problems; it is also possible to attain greater equality as evidenced by what some countries are doing to reduce the income gap; and inequalities vary based on their health impact across the social gradient but nonetheless is present from top to bottom. In order to tackle the health problems and improve the health of individuals within societies, social justice actions geared at the inequalities seen in the healthcare system and other institutions are crucial. This paper also
On the other hand, health inequity are inequalities that are deemed to be unfair, for example, the distribution of health resources between different population groups, starting from the social condition (Kawachi, Subramanian & Almeida-Filho, 2002). Could be related to a social injustice, and due to political and economic status of a country, and could be reduced by the right mix of government policies
Firstly, when it comes to the relationship between health inequality and economic wellbeing, health inequality is influenced by low-income groups and poverty is one reason why patients do not seek medical care. In Mongolia, there are some reasons causing people to die. Firstly, some medical services cannot be delivered at the time, because of the mountains terrain. Health service delivery is challenging due to insufficient funding. Secondly, there are not enough professional doctors, so many patients cannot be treated well. Therefore, money is playing an essential role in
Worldwide, approximately 1.3 billion people do not have access to affordable and efficient healthcare and out of those who have access, almost 170 million are forced to spend around 40 % of their income on medical treatment (Asante et al,2016).In low and middle income countries (LMICs), the major constraint to the access of healthcare is financial burden, where out-of-pocket payments (OPP) contribute to approximately 50 % of total health expenditure (WHO, 2010). As a result, in these countries there is high probability of many households being pushed into poverty due to high medical expenses (McIntyre,2006).The matter of concern in LMICS is that poor and disadvantaged groups of population do not have access to adequate quality of healthcare.For instance, according to WHO (2010) up to 20 % of women in rich population are more likely to have a birth attended by skilled health worker than a poor woman. Therefore, taking an action to address health inequities faced in these countries would save up to 700,000 women.
