Life Is A Challenge For The Health Care System

Throughout the seventeen years that I’ve been alive I have witnessed all the sacrifices my parents have gone through ensuring I have a better future than they did. I come from immigrant parents that weren’t fortunate enough to continue studying. I myself was brought into the country when I was two years old so I could build a different path than the one my parents had to take due to financial reasons. Short after, my sister was born my mom got remarkably ill with Diabetes. I would watch in terror as my mother would lay in bed barely able to move. I held her hand, wiped her forehead, with a cool wet towel, and longed she would get all better. Being the oldest in the

The U.S. health care system faces challenges and it is urgent that the American people

life expectancy, as well as offered diagnostic and treatment options in a cost effective manner to enhance quality of life. It has been technology that has driven our health care system. Through development, testing, and distribution of technological advances, it improves the nation’s health.

Currently in the United States, the health care system is experiencing a vital crisis. The U.S. is ranked the highest paying health care system per capita out of 10 countries including, Australia and the Netherlands. We are also ranked worst in patient quality and outcome (Bernstein). Americans without health care are more prone to life threatening health problems and the life expectancy of an uninsured individual is about 60 years. Shorter life expectancies are due to health conditions such as high blood pressure and unhealthy lifestyles that could have been controlled if they had health insurance. Numerous health care reforms have been put into place to improve the system’s efficiency. However, the reforms have made a weak impact on changing the system. The three major problems of the U.S. health care system are high cost, low accessibility, and poor patient quality and outcome.

The current turmoil in the health care industry has been caused by the idea of change. Change can

When I was ten years old coming to eleven a drastic change was made in my life where I had to migrate from Haiti to the United States to a whole different country and different environment to not only get a better education but to also have a better and safer life. I came to Orlando Florida at the end of my sixth-grade year where I went to school with no knowledge of the English language or the people except for my mother and father. I first met my father when was sixth years old we spent two weeks together after he left again to go back to work in the united states to work. When I was 8 my mom went to join my dad, so I was living with my uncles and his five children and wife. My whole childhood one of my parents was missing at time and point in my life for the first ten years of my life, it was really difficult because not only my self-esteem got effect but the fact that going through school without no guidance and motivation or explanation with homework even I was living with my uncle he was working but I still manage to pass my exams and my classes.

Throughout the course of history, the field of healthcare has always been in a state of flux; however, healthcare has also had one steady aspect and that is women have always been at a disadvantage when it comes to traversing the system. Women have and still do face many obstacles within the health care system. These obstacles include research androcentrism, medicalization, gender stereotyping, reproductive rights, differential treatment, and fertility issues, among others… In order to better help women navigate the healthcare system and to support women’s rights in the present and future, the obstacles women face must be explored and analyzed.

Giving birth, unexpected deaths, or a work related accident are few of the examples that could occur in the life of a working American, but when a tragic event as such takes place, a family is in dire need stay financially afloat. Thankfully, the United States government gives Americans healthcare and insurance to keep the average family from living on the streets. Healthcare is very beneficial for underprivileged civilians, yet thieves have learned how to take advantage of the corrupt system, leaving those in legitimate need suffering and struggling. The United States should continue to provide health care to Americans, but they should put limitations on the aide to prevent scams, give the insurance to only those in dire need, and find alternative

At the age of seven I was a good, smart boy who never got into trouble, who always obeyed the rules until one day I was walking home from school on a rainy day. A woman in her 50’s hit me with her car while I was crossing the road. I was taken to the hospital and was determined by the doctors to be in a coma for a long time. My parents were devastated and could not go on, in only three short weeks I awoke form the comatose state. My parents were separated and resented each other. After a childhood of blaming my parents for all the mistakes I made I had to grow up and become a adult so I enlisted in the United States Army. Six years of my life was dedicated to the military, being a hard working individual with a weight problem. I had to work

The majority of Americans have never thought about what would happen if they were unable to make their own decisions regarding health care. Our knowledge in medicine is rapidly growing every single day. For example, machines have been created that are capable of keeping a person alive even after they have been declared brain dead. Brain Death is defined as the irreversible loss of brain function (Steadman, 2002), and is also referred to as cerebral death. With the knowledge of all the possibilities surrounding health care such as advance directives and euthanasia, it is now possible to make informed decisions about our own medical treatment. By the late 1960’s, Americans were fighting for their right to make these choices; it’s their life,

A rural area in Ontario in Glanbrook, Hamilton is experiencing healthcare issues. It has a low population of 15,293 as of 2006. Providing healthcare to Glanbrook is really difficult because they have a really low population, lacking in resources such as workers, infrastructure, poor roads, fewer roads, transportation, accessibility, etc. Glanbrook is an example of a rural area that the government is having trouble providing healthcare services to.

The healthcare sector is facing more challenges than ever before. It has gone through a series of changes over the years through the introduction of policies and regulations, such as ‘‘Strengthening the Commitment’’ (DH, 2014), which was aimed at modernising learning disability nursing and the delivery of quality care to people with a learning disability. The National Health Service also went through a major reform which was aimed at putting the public and the patient first, improving healthcare outcomes for service users, cutting bureaucracy, improving efficiency, and promoting accountability, autonomy and democratic legitimacy to make the NHS a better organisation (DH, 2010a).

Patient advocacy is a sensitive issue because of the various dynamics that revolve around it. There are emotional, psychological, medical and interpersonal reasons to have or not have patient advocacy as part of health care systems. The multitude of issues facing the US health care system includes financing, literacy, chronic diseases, safety, staff and technology. There is need for patient advocacy in the health care system in the form of involving patients and their families, health care professionals, health care administrators, planners and policymakers, third-party payers, and government agencies in the processes (Johnson et al., 2008, p. v).

Health care has been an arising and ongoing concern across the nation for years. The United States has a market-based health insurance system which in turn deprives a large number of citizen’s their health care necessities. This crisis continues in America despite the available resources that can be implemented to protect our right to health and consider a structured or set level of health care spending. Other counties around the world; just to name a few, Japan, Switzerland and Germany, have managed to reform their health care systems to provide health care for everyone. To get a better perspective on health care systems, I will identify and address the different health care systems around the world, outline America’s health care issues, possible solutions, and address the Affordable Health Care Act.

I was the youngest in my family, It had a lot of drawback for example snatching toys, foods, snacks from my older sister because I was a baby I thought I not fighter with my older sister because I was younger than my older sister about 5 years.
