The Economic Impacts Of The Economy On The United States

The greater degree of uninsured or underinsured in rural areas is a result of having a higher percentage of people who are self-employed, work for small businesses, do seasonal work, or fail to apply for Medicaid. There is great variation in the degree of the uninsured from state-to-state and also by ethnic groups. According to the National Rural Health Association twelve percent of non-Hispanic whites are uninsured, compared with 21.5 percent of blacks, and 34 percent of Hispanics.

Given that there is a shortage of physicians nationwide it is important to expand the scope of mid-level practitioners such as nurse practitioners and physician’s assistant, who are pivotal in treating the mass influx of patients, especially in underserved areas. Rural communities tend to be poorer, and unable to afford to hire enough physicians, and many rural Americans are less well insured, driving the cost of treatment up (RHF, 2015). The lack of resources and funding in underserved areas means even less incentive for physicians to practice in rural areas. Mid-level practitioners are trained to treat patients with low-level illnesses, provide care to patients with chronic and acute diseases, as well as refer patients with more complex issues

In the United States for decades the cost of health care has been on the rise and will continue to rise. Healthcare is a major concern for every country in the world. Access to healthcare service is critical for rural residents. Most importantly, residents should be able to have convenient access to medical care such as primary care, dental, behavioral health, emergency, and public health service. According to Health People 2020, access to healthcare is important for overall physical, social, and mental health status, prevention of disease, detection and treatment of illnesses, quality of life, preventable death, and life expectancy. Rural residents often experience obstacles to healthcare that limit their ability to receive the care they need. In order for rural residents to have sufficient healthcare access, necessary and appropriate services must be available.

Significant health disparities between rural and urban populations have been a major concern in the United States. One prominent factor contributing to the disparities is lack of access to quality care in rural areas which is closely associated with challenges faced by rural health care providers (National Rural Health Association, 2007). Rural hospitals are the key health care provider in rural areas, offering essential health care services to nearly 54 million people (American Hospital Association, 2006). They face a series of challenges such as workforce shortages, rise in health care costs, difficulty in finding access to capital, difficulty in

"Out of every $1.50 spent on a large order of fries at a fast food restaurant,” the author writes, “perhaps 2 cents goes to the farmer who grew those potatoes." (P. 117) Due to this, wealthier and larger slaughterhouses and farms are created in place of the family owned farms. The Washington Post writes that “The number of farms in the country has fallen by some 4 million… from more than 6 million in 1935 to roughly 2 million in 2012. Meanwhile, the average farm size has more than

Rural Americans face an exclusive combination of issues that create disparities in health care that are not found in urban areas. Many complications met by healthcare providers and patients in rural arears are massively different than those located in urban areas. Financial factors, cultural and social variances, educational deficiencies, lack of acknowledgement by delegates and the absolute isolation of living in remote rural areas all combined to hinder rural Americans in their struggle to lead a normal, healthy life. Rural hospitals located in rural areas faces many disadvantages, such as; minimum resources, shortcoming or unprepared professionals, and financial disparities. Although many of these challenges could be solved

Economic impacts on the america’s were the cochineal insects which eat cactus and would be harvested to create red-wool, which was ranked under silver and gold. Because of many foods people were healthier in America than in europe. 1545 silver was discovered in bolivia. Columbus recolonized the way that many culture’s use certain products, such as corn and red

Rural residents need access to healthcare. These residents should have the ability to receive primary care in a convenient setting and do it confidently. “According to healthy People 2020, access to healthcare is

There are two principal conditions leading to physician shortages in rural communities according to Wright and colleagues. They are “demand-deficient”, meaning they have insufficient populations and resources to support a physician practice, they are “ambiance-challenged,” meaning they are isolated, lack quality services and amenities, and/or are in geographically unattractive settings, or a combination of the two sets of conditions. Inner-city physician shortages are a more recently recognized issue. They are affected by the same conditions, though the specifics are different (Wright, Andrilla, and Hart 2001).

The real challenges in the rural areas in America is to sustain a recommended number of health practitioners because if more are trained than the required the demand will be less and supply high and the costs will be great for the federal government. If the number of physicians is, too few the rural people will continue to suffer from health related issues due to hardships in getting the health care. Thus, the shortage of health physicians in rural America is

Unfortunately, this has resulted in a shortage of primary care physicians. Health care physicians can choose where they want to practice and in what area they want to live. Statics show that, “the United States has about 80 primary physicians per 100,000 people, which includes an average of 68 primary care physicians for every 100,000 residents in rural area and 84 primary care physicians per 100,000 residents in the urban areas” (AAFP, pg1). Because the rural areas are in such need of help to provide better health care, the legislature passed the Rural Downstate Health Act, that later became a law. This law stated that it would improve the access to health care in the rural areas. In order to achieve a high level of health care for all individuals, health care must become equal in all areas and the disparities must to be

The agriculture field is one of the biggest employers, employing over 155 million people in the United States. What do you think about when you hear the word “agriculture?” Many people would say farming, but this is not the most common occupation in this field. Farmers make up a fraction of the agricultural jobs at 900,000, but over 2.1 million people own, rent, and claim farming as a primary source of income. The average farm size has dropped from 460 acres in 1990 to 418 acres in 2007, while the average age of this occupation rose to 57, making this one of the older workforces in the United States.

Today, there is a noteworthy and consistent fear of a future recession within our barely stable economy. A recession happens when the economy cannot produce an equal amount of output as input and livelihood are failing for six month timeframe. This is because of various elements: individuals purchasing less, a decline in processing plant generation, developing unemployment, a drop in individual wage, or a horrible securities exchange. These components including lack, decision, and opportunity expense are the reasons that an economy is considered in a subsidence and how something like this happens. One fundamental effect on what happens in and to the economy is the factor of decision. The economy cannot thrive at its own; it need consumers

Sudan’s economy was agricultural-led economy before the production of crude oil. Agricultural sector had a higher share of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) almost 48% of the GDP during that period and employed approximately 80% of the labour force (BBC, 2013). However, the discovery of the crude oil and the advent of crude oil exportation in the third quarter of 1999 caused a notable change in Sudan’s economic structure. In 2008, Oil export earnings constituted 95% of the total export proceeds, leading to crude oil revenues contributing 60% of the total government revenues (International Monetary Fund, 2009). Since then, the economy became dependant on crude oil revenues to finance government budget and provided the required foreign exchange to pay imports bill. During the period 2000 – 2011, Sudan witnessed a higher growth rate of its Gross Domestic Product, driven mainly by the oil sector (World Bank, 2009). This situation has exposed the economy to the negative effects of fluctuations in oil prices in the global markets. It is worth noting that during the period under investigation Sudan was a net oil exporter, this manifested in the quantities of crude oil produced compared to the domestic consumption. That is, crude oil supply outweighed domestic demand.

Medical care in rural areas is greatly needed as life in rural areas especially those where farming, mining, and fishing are how people make their living. The median age of rural America is older but the reasons differ across communities (out-migration of youth vs. in-migration of retirees).
