Universal Healthcare Act: A Case Study

US health care expenditures have been rising quickly over the past few years; it has risen more than the national financial system. Nonetheless a number of citizens in the US still lack appropriate health care. If the truth be told, health care expenditures are going to continue to increase; in addition numerous individuals will possibly have to make difficult choices pertaining to their health care. Our health system has grave problems that require reform, through reforming, there is optimism that there will be an increase in affordable health care and high-quality of care for America. Medicaid, Medicare and private sector insurances are all going through trials and tribulations because of

Universal Healthcare sounds appealing, but it actually lowers the quality and quantity of healthcare services that are rendered to patients, thus downgrading the healthcare system as a whole.  Not having to pay, with everyone having coverage leads to longer wait times for medical service and many people overusing health care services. Implementation of Universal Healthcare in the United States would lead to a detrimental crippling of the nation’s health system. For those countries that have implemented Universal Healthcare or a system similar to it, all or most aspects of the coverage such as cost and care is generally provided by and tightly controlled by the government, a public-sector committee, or employer-based programs, with most of the funding essentially coming from tax revenues or budget cuts in other areas of spending. This paper will conclude with comparing the US healthcare system to others and how the US has one of the most advanced systems in the world.

The question of Universal Healthcare in the United States has valid and non valid arguments with supporters on both sides of the issue. Millions of Americans do not have affordable health care insurance. The main question is who is responsible to provide this? Is it feasible for government to pay for the lack of health care by taxpayer’s dollars? Should you be responsible for yourselves or should you be compensated by the government?       Unemployment is at record high making health insurance less attainable or affordable than ever. In most cases, additional restrictions or

For the President, Congress, and its various budgetary agencies, a ideal healthcare system would manage the cost of healthcare, while promoting quality services and equal access to all United States citizens. However, it’s an equation that has eluded the American government unto this day. Furthermore, the idyllic healthcare system would provide preventative care, emergency care, and other maintenance from conception to the death of an individual. Furthermore, while the perfect system is progressive enough to cover every American from life to death, it should be conservative enough to limit the growth of the budget deficit.

Currently the United States has the most expensive health care system in the world and some 45 million Americans are uninsured under the current health system, these numbers continues to grow. Using the theory of an Utilitarianism perspective and developing a single-payer system such as universal health care all Americans could enjoy equal access to quality health care. The single-payer system will provide tools to manage health spending more effectively and ensure health care for everyone. If the United States would follow the blueprint of other developed nations who have successfully implemented universal health care coverage it would protect citizens from high medical premiums, co-payments and give everyone access to equal health care. In the United States people go without health coverage, it is a problem that needs to be resolved, yet we remain one of the last developed countries to implement universal health care coverage. Despite efforts to enact polices for

The issue of universal health care taking over the present health care system has become a heated topic all over America. With President Obama’s promise to pass a bill that will give government

It is highly visible that the United States lacks an affordable, universal health care plan. Compared to other countries America is lagging behind. The improvement of access to care has become of high importance to the betterment of society and the country’s health care outcome. This paper will describe the three major problems that exist in the United States health care. In addition, it will explore the proposed health care plans of two 2016 presidential candidates and the position they take in regards the big issues.

U.S. health care reform is currently one of the most heavily discussed topics in health discourse and politics. After former President Clinton’s failed attempt at health care reform in the mid-1990s, the Bush administration showed no serious efforts at achieving universal health coverage for the millions of uninsured Americans. With Barack Obama as the current U.S. President, health care reform is once again a top priority. President Obama has made a promise to “provide affordable, comprehensive, and portable health coverage for all Americans…” by the end of his first term (Barackobama.com). The heated debate between the two major political parties over health care reform revolves around how to pay for it and more importantly, whether it

Currently, the issue of health insurance has been a bone of contention for the public regarding whether the United States government should provide this health plan or not. People often possess different perspectives and refer to pros and cons on both sides of the spectrum. While some believes a universal healthcare system will set a foundation for a lower quality of service, increasing governmental finance deficit, and higher taxes, others do not hold the same thought. A universal healthcare system brings enormous advantages rather than disadvantages, such as all-inclusive population coverage, convenient accessibility, low time cost, and affordable medical cost, all of which not only provide minimum insurance to the disadvantaged but also improve the efficiency of medical resources distribution.

The prevalence of bankruptcy’s filed due to health care costs has become increasingly common. American’s specifically are paying substantially with their wallets for even routine care. The costs of health care are unremittingly rising and becoming out of control for even the average family to afford. Concurrently, other parts of the world are giving more accurate and efficient health care for minimal cost. Undeniably, the United States needs health care reform, because health care conditions aren’t departing and simultaneously the American people are being taken advantage. Humans require health care as a basic necessity, quickly, efficiently, and should be able to participate regardless of wealth or status. Government intervention in the form of universal health care, wellness programs, and price caps would allow for greater efficiency in a system suffering from inflated prices and convoluted bureaucracy.

As a contractor, I had the opportunity to manage personnel both here in the United States where 20 to 30% of income was spent towards taxes and in Germany where 50 to 60% of income went towards taxes. Because such a high percentage of wages in Germany are spent toward taxes the country is able to practice socialism on a large scale such as free universal healthcare, schooling, and job placement. I would be more than willing forgo such a large portion of my salary just for the satisfaction and peace of mind of knowing that any and all medical issues for my family will be covered. According to Dranove and Millenson (2006) personal bankruptcies are becoming a direct threat to the financial competency of the middle-class. It is estimated that medical

The relationship between doctors and nurses affects the nurse's position on health reform. When there is an alter in the practice of medicine due to a new health care policy there can be a change in the relationship between doctors and nurses. Nurses are considered the patient's voice (Buerhaus el al, 2012), therefore, when doctors shift away from their nurses they are shutting off the patient's voice. It is crucial for physicians to build up a collaborative professional relationship with their nurses (Buerhaus el al, 2012). Even though, there are over three million nurses in the U.S. the majority of them are 47 years old. Nurses understand that health reform con does not provide quality of care without an adequate nurse workforce (Buerhaus
