Health Care Issues
Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection, 2015
In recent years, the availability and affordability of health insurance in the United States has become
the subject of much debate. The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights lists medical
care among the basic human rights to which all people are entitled. In 2011, however, about 17
percent of Americans had no health insurance at all. For many people who are insured, the cost of
coverage is a financial hardship. This situation has led some people to call for the government to
provide health insurance for all citizens. Others, however, are skeptical of government’s ability to
efficiently manage health insurance and oppose any plans that involve government. The issue is made
more urgent by rapidly rising health care costs that threaten to overwhelm the country’s current
system of health insurance, and the national economy in general. Health care reform has become one
of the most important issues in contemporary American politics.
The Basics of Health Care
In most developed countries, health care systems involve government control or sponsorship. For
instance, in Great Britain, Scandinavia, and the countries of the former Soviet Union, the government
controls almost all aspects of health care, including access and delivery. For the most part, health
services in these countries are free to everyone; the systems are financed primarily by taxes. Other
countries, such as Germany and France, guarantee health insurance for almost all their citizens, but
the government plays a smaller role in managing health care. Both systems are financed at least in
part by taxes on wages.
The US government, by contrast, does not pay for most of its citizens’ health care. Generally,
Americans receive health care through employer-sponsored insurance, or they arrange to pay for
insurance on their own. Like all forms of insurance, health insurance operates by pooling the
resources of a group of people who face similar risks. This creates a common fund that members can
draw upon when needed. Each person in the group pays a certain amount, called a premium, every
month. These premiums are used to cover the medical expenses of group members who become sick
or injured.
Health Insurance in the United States
Today, most Americans receive health insurance through their place of work. Employers typically pay
for part of the premiums. Most employer-sponsored plans are administered through payroll
contributions. People who are self-employed and those whose employers do not provide health
insurance must purchase individual health insurance. Individual plans are generally more expensive
than group plans. Certain low-income individuals and families may be eligible for Medicaid, a form of
government-sponsored health insurance. In 1997, the US government introduced the Children’s
Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to assist the children of families who do not qualify f.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. Intro: Comparing Healthcare
Healthcare in the United States has often been ridiculed for the
large amount of money spent and the low return on investment in
terms of the country’s coverage. Comparing the healthcare system
of the USA with that of Australia will give an idea of the similarities
and differences between healthcare across countries. These two
countries can be compared and contrasted by looking at the
healthcare coverage for citizens, and the amount of government
spending on healthcare.
3. Healthcare Coverage
USA
49% of healthcare coverage comes from employers
16% Medicaid
13% Medicare
1% Other Public
5% individual
16% Uninsured
The average cost of a routine office visit in the US is $68
4. USA Coverage Continued
Private insurance – US citizens have the right to find their own private
insurers to aid them from extreme medical costs if they were to
become severely ill.
Medicaid – Covers over 65 million Americans in groups who are
most needy such as:
Pregnant women and infants
Those who are 138% below the Federal poverty level
Medicaid gives these low income families insurance that is as good
as private insurance.
5. USA Coverage ctd.
Medicare – Covers people age 65 or older
people under age 65 with certain disabilities, and
people of all ages with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney
failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant).
Part A of Medicare covers hospital insurance such as inpatient care
Covers hospice care also
Part B covers doctor’s services and outpatient care
Prescription drug coverage usually requires a premium
6. USA Uninsured
How does the lack of insurance affect access to health care?
The uninsured have much worse access to care and are less likely to
receive preventive care or treatment for chronic diseases
25% of uninsured adults go without necessary care due to the cost
What does lack of coverage mean financially?
Uninsured in the USA are likely to go into medical debt when they
receive treatment due to high medical bills
35% of uninsured payment is out of pocket.
They also typically are charged more than the insured.
7. Healthcare Coverage
Australia
Australian Citizens and members with a permanent resident visa are
eligible for Medicare in Australia
Medicare provides benefits for:
Consultation fees for doctors and specialists
Tests and examinations by doctors needed to treat illnesses, including Xrays and pathology tests
Eye tests performed by optometrists
Most surgical and other therapeutic procedures performed by doctors
A number of surgical procedures performed by approved dentists
8. Coverage: Australia ctd.
Medicare patients who choose to be treated at a public hospital
receive services for free.
This includes care, treatment, and after-care.
Medicare pays 85% of the schedule fee for out of hospital services.
The Medicare schedule fee is a scale for what specific services should
cost. Doctors and hospitals can choose to charge more than the
service fee.
40% of Australian Citizens still elect for private insurance.
If a citizen chooses to be treated privately, they are able to choose
their own doctor.
75% of schedule fee is covered for private patients.
9. What is not covered? - Australia
Medicare does not cover:
Private patient hospital costs (for example, theatre fees or
accommodation)
Dental examinations and treatment
Ambulance services
Home nursing
Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, eye
therapy, chiropractic services, podiatry or psychology except
when part of the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program
Acupuncture (unless part of a doctor’s consultation)
Glasses and contact lenses
10. What is not covered – Australia ctd.
Hearing aids and other appliances
Prostheses
Medicines (except for the subsidy on medicines covered by the PBS)
Medical and hospital costs incurred overseas
Medical costs that someone else is responsible for
Medical services which are not clinically necessary
Cosmetic surgery
Examinations for life insurance, superannuation or membership of a friendly society
Many of these procedures can be covered by private insurance,
accounting for the reason 40% choose to go private.
12. Government Spending - Australia
Health spending increased 74% over the past decade, compared
to the GDP growing by 46%.
Costs are rising due to aging population
Citizens 50 years or older are seeing doctors much more than they were
10 years ago
Australia spent $120 billion on healthcare in 2009-10
Government contributes 44% of overall healthcare costs
13. Government Spending - USA
The US government spent nearly a trillion dollars on healthcare
spending in the 2013 fiscal year.
The number is expected to grow even larger in the future due to
aging of the population
the rise of healthcare costs per person
number of people enrolled in federal programs growing
Healthcare accounts for 26% of the Federal government’s total
spending.
15. Conclusion
Comparing the two countries’ healthcare systems shows some
interesting results. Australia spends about half the percentage of
their GDP compared to America, and covers every citizen
completely. The USA government spends a large amount on
healthcare, and still 16% of the population is uninsured.
Both countries face similar problems such as the rising spending on
healthcare. The two countries are seeing the aging of the
population play a major part in the spending increase, and each
has had to deal with the average cost per person going up.
Each country offers private insurance as well as coverage from the
government, but the plans vary greatly.
