Healthcare in Brazil

However, the economy recovered rapidly during 1968 to 1973 with averaging over 10 percent per annum. The GDP also increased at a rate above 5 percent per annum between 1974 and 1980, except for 1978 (see Exhibit 2). However, Brazil had incurred an extremely high level of indebtedness due to the support of this massive development program. The high interest rates on dollar funds and the unwillingness of foreign lenders to advance additional loans caused a deep economic recession in Brazil. Interest rates directly affect the credit market (loans) because higher interest rates make borrowing more costly. As a result, Brazilian government who aimed to balance the payment had to ask the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for funds.

For More than two decades Brazil suffered badly from high inflation, economic decline, domestic and foreign debt. In 1993 country’s Inflation reached 30 percent a month and as a result the country wouldn’t sustain growth. After many unsuccessful plans to control the inflation, finally Real Plan of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, minister of finance, worked out and brought the inflation down to a single digit.

The American health care industry is one of the nation's largest and most profitable industries (Healthcare, 2011). The American healthcare industry "has consistently increased its share of GDP from only 7.2% in 1970 to more than 16.0% in 2008" and that figure is still growing (Van Horn, 2010). It is also one of the few American industries that is expected to grow in the next few decades. In fact, the healthcare industry in America is expected to generate 3.2 million new jobs through the year 2018, which is more than any other American industry (Healthcare, 2011). This industry includes everything "from small-town private practices of physicians who employ only one medical assistant to busy

The stringent policy of imports tax and duties was seen as a high growth policy. The strategy can be effective in enhancing growth but the main components considered should be basic industrial inputs like fertilizers, steel, petrochemicals etc. However, import substitution and restrictions policies do not favor intangible good especially technology software and knowhow which are often bound to importation. Concerning the companies that require inputs like software, the policy is likely to result in reduced public investment. For instance, the inflation and crisis that followed in 1981 to 1983 so a reduction Brazils gross investment from 21% to 16%. Some of the things that have been quoted as the reasons for the declines was increased uncertainties in the future of the economy. Such uncertainties are posed by unfavorable fiscal policies. In the case of Commutronics, the company fought to invest in the country in amidst of unfavorable policies, however, few companies would stand such policies such policies particularly where the deductions were affecting shareholders capital as was the case for Commutronics (Poterba, 1999).

Nevertheless, the country has favorable business laws and policies. For instance, it passed an ambitious Tax Law in 2005. This Law requires the state to use a standard corporate income tax rate of 16%; the lowest in the EU. This is a good legal incentive to businesses (Receanu, 2010). The Company Law also allows foreign investors to fully participate in the Romanian companies without any form of restriction. At the same time, foreign investments are not subjected to nationalization and requisitions unless it becomes public interest. Therefore, despite political instability, Romania has business laws that favor foreign investments.

Trends reshaping the healthcare system include the growth of the healthcare sector, shrinking share of direct consumer payments, the growth of the uninsured,

To begin, what happened in both countries to cause problems to ensue? First, in Brazil, the Car wash operation, “a federal investigation into a large corruption scheme involving state-owned oil company Petrobras, large construction companies, and politicians”, was the main prevention for anything from being accomplished to help the economy (Flannery). “On the economic side, the Carwash operation slowed down some of the largest infrastructure projects in the country, with the exception of the Olympics projects, and brought companies responsible for nearly a quarter of the domestic private investment

There are so many differences when looking at the labor laws of Brazil verse the US. One of the biggest difference is employees are expensive in Brazil, an employee can actually end up costing twice his or her salary after you pay taxes and benefits these taxes can be as high as 68% of each salary. I also found that in order to be a CEO in Brazil you must be a Brazilian citizen, where in the US you don’t have to a US citizen.

Healthcare in the United States is a relatively young industry compared to those industries that help found this country. The revolution of healthcare in the US began just over a hundred years ago similar to the raise of the industrial revolution. As the American population migrated from the farm to the city, this concentration of population along with medical research breakthroughs spawned the growth of the healthcare segment of the American economy (Shi, Singh, 2017). With the raise of the influence of healthcare in the US the ability to profit as a participant in this sector has also grown and has led to near crisis level for the industry.

Socialized Healthcare is the act of giving people below the poverty line a way to have health coverage in case of something happening to them or their families. This is not a good idea because these people cannot afford for themselves so why should other people have to pay for them. I am writing this to tell you how “free” healthcare really is not free. The main points I will be covering are The United States’ healthcare system also known as Obamacare, The United Kingdom’s and Brazil’s systems that are failing.

In Brazil, research on health conditions of lesbian is scarce, since policies for controlling fertility only began to be discussed in the 70s, and, in the 80s, political and cultural conditions were created in order to produce studies on the reproductive issues of women.

The 1970’s was a time of change in Brazilian healthcare. Many doctors and politicians alike were at odds due to a new social space: collective health. Collective health refers to problems in health across an entire population. In this case, the population was Brazil. This controversial new idea had doctors and politicians alike both at odds and working together. Many people on a political level considered this to be a waste of time, calling hygiene specifically “the dumbest thing possible” (Pinell and Vieira-da-Silva 2014). On the other side, they had doctors who had be able to merge their political beliefs with their profession, and fought for collective health. This idea would eventually lead to what is now known as universal healthcare.

Embraer also enjoyed privileges such as having federal agencies being instructed to purchase from them instead of competitors where possible, not having to pay taxes on imported raw materials, parts and equipment, and having the opportunity to raise capital through investments from other Brazilian corporations.

The primary question that Brazil faces as it moves into the 21st century is whether the Brazilian style of capitalism, which harnessed their economy towards growth as a developing economy, is sufficient to drive them as a developed country. Averaging 3.8% GDP growth over the last decade, this transition seems inevitable; Brazil has shifted from an agricultural giant to a country in which 90% of the population works in the industrial and service sectors. However, as they make this conversion, they must examine their economic policies to ensure that they are still applicable and advantageous. For example, Brazil must keep promoting their industrial policies. Brazil may fall back into a commodity-driven economy if raw
