Social Security Coverage- Tanzania

In tutorial #5 we were put into groups and debated the pros and cons of Canada having a two tier healthcare system. Two tier healthcare is where the government provides healthcare for its citizens and people also have the option of using private companies to receive their medical care. Single tier health care is where the government alone can provide healthcare for its citizens and no private firms may provide health care. Currently Canada is one of the few countries in world which only operates under a government run universal healthcare.

The three principal elements have become identified in practice within the institutional model of welfare. “The key elements are social protection, and the provision of welfare services on the basis of right.” (Spicker2014)

Social insurance programs were designed to provide continuing income to citizens over 65 after retirement, health benefits and provide benefits for the unemployed, survivors and disabled.

The Social Security system is perhaps the most successful government social insurance program in the nation 's history; and began with the Social Security Act in 1935. Social Security is a needed federal system that encourages income stability to millions of people across the United States. This is accomplished by giving a stable flow of income to replenish lost wages that occur as a result of disability, retirement, or death of a family member. There are about 59 million people in the U.S. that receive Social Security. Most of them are the required 65 years of age or older. Sadly about half of the 59 million people rely solely on Social Security to pay their bills and everyday necessities.

The background of social welfare has impacted the policies for today’s social welfare and TANF policy. There are several policies

As many old laws and policies get older they develop to be still relevant in the citizens daily lives. Throughout time there have been many forms of programs that have been like Social Security. This is because through time humans have had many economic uncertainties that have worried them about “unemployment, illness, disability, death and old age” (8). There has been always a need for economic security. In many cultures and throughout time there have been many ways that their citizens have received economics securities. The traditional form of economic security came from “assets; labor;

The passing of the Social Security Act generated a social insurance program that protected a multiplicity of people by supplying a monthly benefit to societal individuals age 65 and older who were no longer actively working; it was a means of income to individuals once they retired and was based on the person’s payroll tax contribution (Martin & Weaver, 2005). The longer amount of years a person was employed, the higher their benefit amount is set to be. Social weighing was a method they used to guarantee that the lower earning people receive a respectively greater income than their past earnings. (DeWitt, 2010). Not long after the Social Security Act was passed, legislation had considerable amounts of amendments to the original Social Security Act of 1935, and in 1939 the notion of economic security became family based; which it was then modified in order to supplement benefits to the spouse or young children of a retired worker, also providing welfare to a household who lost the loved one that was a covered worker (King & Cecil, 2006). In addition, the Social Security amendments of 1939 altered the benefits to be given to earlier participants and not focusing on giving benefits to future members in the Social Security program, also causing the arrangement of welfare to be provided to families rather than just an individual (DeWitt, 2007). Social Security being emphasized as an insurance rather than a savings, and carrying payroll tax money into the future would have

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines social insurance as, “protection of the individual against economic hazards (as unemployment, old age, or disability) in which the government participates or enforces the participation of employers and affected individuals” (1). The United States government operates several national social insurance programs. Medicare is the United States’ first medical social insurance program. This program was designed to provide health insurance to the elderly and protect them from financial hardship due to illness. A thorough investigation of this program reveals the overall history, financial cost, and the total effect that it has had on the healthcare system.

The creation of a comprehensive social Insurance Scheme was created to cover people for loss of earnings power and social spending around births, deaths and marriages. This scheme would help cover families with extra expenses to decrease pressure on the rest of the family.

     Social Security is a public program designed to provide income and services to individuals in the event of retirement, sickness, disability, death, or unemployment. In the United States, the word social security refers to the programs established in 1935 under the Social Security Act. Societies throughout history have devised ways to support people who cannot support themselves. In 1937 the government began issuing Social Security identification cards to all citizens. Each card had a unique number that the government used to keep track of a person’s earnings and the taxes collected from those earnings that went to finance Social Security benefits. The Social Security Act is an act in which

In this paper I will illustrate problems and issues that need to be addressed in the TANF program and the significant importance of why we need reform. Social policy is designed to create a safety net for people that face poverty. Our text state Social Policies are laws, rules, and regulations, that govern the benefits and services provided by the government and private organizations to assist people in meeting their needs (Chapin,2017, pg. 2). Social policy helps to form America yet, due to limited funding of programs they are unable to assist each individual that may need or require assistance.

Social Policy is the study of social services and the welfare state. In general terms, it looks at the idea of social welfare, and its relationship to politics and society.

Most policies instituted at the national level give consideration to political, financial, legal and human needs factors. As a result, after new social policies are initiated problems with their implementation often arise in social agencies. Typical obstacles to successful implementation include: unclear communication, negative attitudes toward the policy on the part of agency staff, Lack of resources to carry out the policy on the part of agency staff, lack of resources to carry out the policy and existing organizational procedures that prevent the new policy from being implemented
