Healthcare and insurance are closely related in the United States. Approximately 41 million Americans, or 14% of the population, lack health insurance. This places a large financial burden on hospitals and state programs that provide uncompensated care to uninsured patients. Those without insurance often receive a late diagnosis and delayed treatment, resulting in lower survival rates compared to those who have insurance. While everyone deserves quality healthcare, the high costs of medical education, equipment, and administration make it difficult to provide such care to uninsured individuals in a cost effective manner. The costs ultimately fall to taxpayers through public insurance programs and subsidies.

White paper healthcare
This whitepaper proposes a specialized clinical practice to facilitate improved healthcare for the elderly through pairing electronic health records with Medicare-approved wellness exams. Several barriers currently prevent many seniors from taking advantage of wellness visits and preventative care, including lack of clarity on exam types, limited health literacy, and socioeconomic factors. The proposed service aims to close gaps in healthcare disparities and generate universal access to medical records using network-based EHR technology.

Bringing Health Reform Home: Localizing your coverage
The document provides 5 story ideas for local news coverage on health reform:
1) Stories of medical bankruptcies in the local community.
2) Profiling local residents on how current health costs affect their care and how reform may impact them.
3) Potential cuts to local health budgets and how that could lengthen wait times.
4) Rationing of care for the uninsured and long wait times for certain procedures and medications.
5) Challenges for those between 50-65 in obtaining health insurance due to pre-existing conditions.
Immigrants and healthcare in the united states
The document discusses social justice issues related to uninsured immigrants and healthcare access in the United States. It notes that the uninsured immigrant population faces barriers like unfamiliarity with the healthcare system, language barriers, and difficulty obtaining health insurance or paying costs out of pocket. As a result, uninsured immigrants are less likely to receive timely and effective care, more likely to delay needed care, and have worse health outcomes. This violates principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Improving healthcare access and education for immigrants could help address these issues.

Thomas DeLorenzo has researched several public health policy issues in California including the effect of increasing personal belief exemptions on vaccination rates, regulating hydraulic fracturing, mandating mail-order pharmacies, and pre-term c-sections on healthcare costs. He also examined groundwater depletion in Coachella Valley and the HPV vaccine mandate in Virginia on long term costs. His pending research concerns whether parents have a constitutional right to not vaccinate their children and potential penalties.
Health Reform and Immigrant Children (Dawes, Rider, Lambert 09-13)
The document discusses how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) presents both opportunities and challenges for immigrant children, youth, and families in accessing behavioral health services. It outlines several key provisions of the ACA that strengthen protections for these groups, such as prohibiting pre-existing condition exclusions, annual/lifetime limits, and rescinding of policies when sick. However, the ACA does not apply equally to all immigrants - eligibility is determined by strict guidelines. The document then discusses essential health benefits, preventive services coverage, and mental health parity requirements under the ACA. Finally, it notes the ACA aims to expand coverage through programs like health insurance exchanges and Medicaid expansion.

Millions of Americans cannot afford their medications due to high costs, even with health insurance. Those with low socioeconomic status are most affected. Brownsville, Brooklyn was used as an example, where 40% live in poverty with average annual income of $26,951. Chronic illnesses like cancer, diabetes and heart disease are prevalent and costly to treat, often exceeding monthly incomes. Discounted medications could help improve health outcomes and life expectancy while reducing financial stress for low-income communities. However, ensuring access only for those in need while preventing misuse would require eligibility verification.

Caregivers of those with Alzheimer's disease often make significant financial sacrifices to provide care. Nearly half cut back on their own spending and savings, and over 20% have to borrow money or go into debt. Caregivers are also more likely to have problems affording food or medical care for themselves. The total estimated cost of caring for those with Alzheimer's in 2016 is $236 billion, with Medicare shouldering almost half of those costs. Alzheimer's is currently the 6th leading cause of death in the US.

Functional impairment is a key driver of high medical spending for Medicare beneficiaries. Those with chronic conditions and functional impairment that requires assistance with daily activities have significantly higher annual per capita Medicare spending ($17,961) than those with chronic conditions alone ($7,228). Health plans and policymakers should recognize functional impairment as an important factor affecting costs and should support services that meet both medical and non-medical needs to better manage overall spending.

Better health for everyone health care in two worlds
The document discusses differences in healthcare systems between rich and poor countries. In rich countries, people have access to expensive healthcare and focus on diseases like cancer and heart disease. However, healthcare costs are rising. In poor countries, basic sanitation and clean water are still lacking, so people suffer from preventable diseases. Both rich and poor countries struggle with increasing healthcare expenses. The document argues that a focus on primary care and prevention through programs like sanitation and vaccination could help address health issues in a more cost-effective way than crisis-based treatment models.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving Cars
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

Middle class Americans are struggling under rising health care costs, with many facing high out-of-pocket costs or loss of coverage. The number of uninsured middle class Americans has grown in recent years. Those with insurance have less choice and face barriers to care due to increased costs. Health reform is needed to improve access and ensure high-quality, affordable care for the middle class.

Overview - Health Care Issues
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.
healthreform-middleclass-vpotus
Middle class Americans are struggling under the increasing financial burden of rising healthcare costs. They spend on average 9% of their income on premiums and out-of-pocket costs, which is growing over time. Over a quarter of the uninsured are middle class, and their rates of being uninsured are also growing. Even those with insurance have reduced access to care, with 11% delaying and 8% avoiding care due to costs. The current healthcare system fails the middle class by not controlling costs, diminishing coverage, and reducing choice and access to care.

Costly new technologies and the free-market nature of the health care industry have raised the cost of health care.
The cost of health care is rising, in part because of expensive new technologies and procedures, and in part because of the market failure of the health care industry. It has been argued that deregulation of health insurers, combined with a free market health care industry, has changed health care from a service-based structure to a commodity, or a product available for purchase. America's health care delivery system is geared toward the multibillion dollar health insurance industry rather than individual payers, many of whom lack the financial ability to cover health care expenses out of pocket, from general emergency room care to a life-threatening illness. After all, few people have $10,000 in their budgets to cover the cost of an emergency room visit for a broken arm.
Americans purchase health insurance to cover medical bills, but health insurance is too expensive for many families to afford. In 2010, 64% of the American population had private health insurance for all or part of the year. That isn't a very large majority, considering that everybody needs medical attention at some point. In that same year, 31% of the population had government-run public health insurance, and 16.3% had no health insurance at all for all or part of the year (DeNavas-Walt, Proctor, & Smith, 2011). The question across America, from Congress to kitchen tables, is how to insure all, how to tackle rising health care costs, and how to decipher a fair and equitable payee process.
Critical Thinking
What do you think will be the impact if health care costs are not addressed? What future problems do you predict?
5.1 Private Payers
The private payer sector comprises programs that provide financial access to health care, which includes insurance companies, employer-run health coverage programs, and individuals who pay for health care out of pocket. Individuals who pay for all of their health care out of pocket are rare, as the cost of health care is prohibitive. Employer-run health coverage programs are types of i ...

Frequently these groups tends to receive substandard care or instructions of care for multiple reasons. Attributing to suboptimal care are education level, language and financial barriers. For example, studies showed according to Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (2014) blacks and American Indians received worse care than whites for about 40% of core measures, Asians received worse care than whites for about 20% of core measures, Hispanics received worse care than non-Hispanic whites for about 60% of core measures, and poor people received worse care than high-income people for about 80% of core measures. The cost of health care has grown astronomical, affecting mostly the people who cannot afford the cost of health care. Most lower socioeconomic and minority ethnic groups are without health insurance due to the outrageous cost. In spite of the cost of health insurance, many insured have to pay out of pocket expenses in order to seek medical care and cover the cost of care or treatments. Many people are electing to be uninsured in order to keep food on their family’s dinner table and roof over their heads. The cost of health care is also affecting the management of care. If the patient is able to gather the finances for a doctor’s visit, the cost of prescription and continued treatment are unaffordable. In some areas, the access to health care is limited making it very difficult to seek or continue with. As a result of these factors the management of care on both the provider and patient part is very difficult. Issues prompting the need for health care reform are the disparities in quality, access and cost of care. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke can create financial burden to the patients and ultimately society. Typically, patients with chronic diseases require long term, high quality care that is affordable. The American Heart Association (2016) reported People who lack health insurance experience up to 56% higher risk of death from stroke than those who are insured and 46% of those who had difficulty paying their medical expenses delayed getting the needed care. The rising cost of care have not only proven to be problematic to people of lower socioeconomic status and minority ethnic groups but to society as a whole. It is imperative that all patients regardless of status and finances receive the best care in order to keep the country healthy.

Single Payer
This document summarizes a presentation on lessons from other countries' single-payer healthcare systems and their relevance for US healthcare reform. It finds that while no system is superior in all aspects, universal healthcare coverage is needed in the US. A hybrid social insurance model with private insurance options maintained through employers and government support for low-income individuals may be a more appropriate model for the US that could achieve universal coverage while balancing political and economic concerns.

Essay About Funding Healthcare Services
XYZ Healthcare Organization aims to provide continuum long-term care services to patients with dignity, respect, and confidentiality. However, this requires adequate funding, which is necessary to motivate staff and ensure services can be continuously provided. The stakeholders of the organization should be the major contributors to funding long-term care services. If financial challenges arise, the government should assist in funding to ensure important services continue without interruption.
Standards of Evaluation.docx
The document examines health care delivery in the United States from the perspective of the author's personal health plan, Medicare. The author assesses the plan based on quality, cost, access, and continuity of care. Overall, the plan performs poorly or fairly across these criteria. Quality is poor as nurses sometimes provide wrong medications or are rude. Cost is very high due to expensive monthly premiums and co-pays. Access is only fair as the author does not have a regular doctor and sometimes cannot receive needed care. Continuity is also poor since doctors and hospitals frequently leave health plans. Urgent reforms are needed to improve the inefficient U.S. health care system.

Abstract
The federal government plays an important role in influencing all facets of health care through its different roles in the American health care sector. This paper will discuss the involvement of the federal government in the health care system through its various roles and how that contributes to health care access, affordability, and quality. This includes its role in purchasing health care services, regulation of healthcare, provider of health care services, sponsor of learning and training programs and in health care research. Through its role as purchaser, the government is involved in buying health care insurance for millions of Americans. This is accomplished through programs including Medicare and Medicaid. In its role as regulator, the government is involved in establishing safety and quality standards aimed at ensuring that patients receive appropriate care. It is also involved in reforming healthcare to ensure it’s affordable, contains value and is accessible to all. This paper will also discuss the involvement of the federal government as provider of health services. As provider, the federal government is involved in the ownership and management of various health care institutions. At this particular capacity, it’s involved in employment of healthcare professionals and as operator of health care delivery systems. This paper will discuss how the federal government is involved in providing health care to diverse population through various federal agencies such as the VHA and the HIS. The federal government has a key role in shaping research in health care through its role as sponsor of applied health care services. It’ll be further discussed government involvement as it plays an imperative role in supporting the development of knowledge and creation of tools required to augment the government in carryings its various roles. This include government sponsorship of research through various agencies including the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Federal Government in Health Care

Vaccination Policy for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control
Scope of the Problem
Vaccines have done an excellent job at preventing many diseases, some of which can be deadly if not prevented. When bacteria or viruses enter the body, they immediately begin to attack and multiply, which then causes an infection. The immune system will then fight off the infection and establish antibodies, which will help recognize and fight off the same disease in the future. For this very reason, it has been important for children to be vaccinated at an early age so that they may establish those antibodies their bodies need. Vaccines act as the disease so that the body may produce antibodies, but the good thing is that it won’t cause an infection (CDC, 2017).
There are current policies that mandate vaccinations in the U.S., for example, all children are required to be up to date on their vaccines before beginning school. The problem is that there are many loopholes and exceptions to the rule, whether it’s due to religious reasons or other medical issues. Because of this, there are still many children and adults who have yet to be fully compliant with vaccine requirements
Some important statistics to note (Johns Hopkins Medicine):
· CDC estimated 2,700 new cases of hepatitis A in the U.S.
· It is estimated that in 2011, 19,000 new cases of hepatitis B and 17,000 cases of hepatitis C occurred.
· In 2012, nearly 10,000 new cases of tuberculosis were reported.
· Approximately 36,000 people per year die from influenza and pneumonia.
· 50,000 new cases of HIV infection occur annually.
· In 2012, new cases of STD’s were reported, including HPV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV, and Syphilis.
Who is affected by this problem? Identify.
Children are mainly affected by this problem due to parents’ hesitancy for vaccinations. Although law mandates for children to be vaccinated for school enrollment, parents have the option to use exemptions to avoid having their children vaccinated. Currently, medical exemptions are allowed for medical reasons in all states, and it is estimated that one to three percent of children are excused from vaccinations because of these exemptions. Parents have continued to use reasons to avoid vaccinations, for example, the belief that the decline in vaccine-preventable diseases is due to improved health care, hygiene, and sanitation (Ventola, C. L., 2016).
Health disparities among Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites have played a huge role in terms of vaccination coverage. Studies have shown that health insurance has a direct impact on the vaccination coverage in adults, therefore, low-income families who can’t afford health insurance will most likely not get the vaccines they need. With that being said, uninsured prevalence was higher among non-Hispanic blacks (19.5%) and Hispanics (30.1%) compared with non-Hispanic whites (11.1%) (Lu, P., et al, 2015).

National health insurance social media study
The document discusses disparities in global healthcare and the high costs of healthcare in America. It compares the U.S. healthcare system to national healthcare insurance systems in other countries. The U.S. system is very expensive and many cannot afford basic medical care, while countries with nationalized healthcare are able to provide universal coverage through taxes or premiums. The document explores options to make healthcare more affordable and preventable in the U.S. through policies that help the poor and reforms that reduce waste.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

- 7. In summation, Medicine is a big money business. The cost to educate America’s Doctors plays a large part in the cost of treating patients and because of the cost of education, malpractice insurance, medical equipment and administrative support it is not very cost effective to treat the uninsured. Being uninsured or on a Federally funded insurance plan does not guarantee quality healthcare. Everyone, regardless of financial position and whether they are insured deserves the best healthcare available. The burden of paying for this healthcare lies with the American working population in the form of tax dollars.
