This document discusses macro trends that will impact the future of the US healthcare system. It outlines how the economy, demographics, personal lifestyle/behaviors, technology, and policies will shape the system. The economy faces rising costs from preventable healthcare use, chronic conditions like obesity and cancer, and maintaining services. Demographics show growth in the elderly population requiring more care. Lifestyle issues like obesity and smoking from 1/3 of children and 2/3 of adults may increase costs. Technology can improve communication between patients and providers through devices. Policies must expand the system to meet growing needs and provide equitable, affordable coverage.

This document discusses the need for reform of the American healthcare system. It notes that the current system has outrageous costs that prevent many Americans from receiving needed care. While costs have increased, quality of coverage has not. The best path forward is to compare other countries' efficient, quality healthcare systems and adopt beneficial elements. The document explores the history of healthcare in the US and key players like doctors, patients, and the government. It also lists questions on issues and potential solutions, and disagrees with the idea that socialized healthcare would reduce quality or increase costs.

The document discusses two lesser known ways that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) improves the well-being of women and their families. First, the ACA requires employers to provide reasonable break time and a private space for hourly employees to express breast milk at work. Research estimates this will allow an additional 165,000 mothers to breastfeed their infants until at least six months of age, benefiting over one million mothers and children. Second, the ACA established a Pregnancy Assistance Fund to provide support services to pregnant and parenting students in postsecondary education. This fund helps over 14 states and 3 tribal entities provide services like childcare and housing to help student parents complete their degrees. Given that over one in four college students

The document discusses health disparities and inequities that exist among different racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, sexual orientation, education, and other groups in America. It notes that large gaps in health among these groups have been known since at least 1985 when a government report detailed persistent health differences. The report led to the formation of Offices of Minority Health to address the problem, though health inequity remains an issue today. The document advocates for parks and recreation agencies to help combat health disparities in their communities.
Autism Legislation In Michigan
Michigan has seen a rapid increase in autism diagnoses, with the number of children with autism tripling from 2000 to 2007. Research shows early treatment is crucial but many healthcare plans in Michigan exclude treatments for autism, placing a heavy financial burden on families and the state. Reform is needed to require coverage of medically necessary autism treatments in order to dramatically reduce the long-term costs of care while improving outcomes for children with autism.

ASSIGNMENT 1 HSA500
The document summarizes the historical transition and growth of the U.S. health care system from the 19th century to present day. It discusses key milestones like the establishment of private health insurance in the 1930s and government programs Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. Major changes included the rise of HMOs in the 1980s and an increased focus on preventative care and reducing costs. The paper also examines challenges facing the system like an aging population as baby boomers require more care and changing demographics bringing new diseases. Financing and technology are seen as important factors enabling advancement, but affordability remains a challenge given high expenditures in the U.S. system.
Diabetes in Mexico for a mHealth project
This document proposes a mobile awareness campaign to improve diabetes prevention and care in rural Mexico. The campaign would use a mobile unit like a motorhome containing: 1) diabetes information desks, 2) facilities to perform blood tests, 3) an area for educational talks on risks, prevention and exercise demonstrations, and 4) medicine for diagnosed patients. The unit would be staffed by health professionals and visit both urban and rural areas. Additionally, a free mobile app and website would supplement the campaign by providing exercise programs, meal plans, reminders and risk calculators to reach more people. Interviews found that knowledge of diabetes was low and people were willing to change habits with proper guidance.
Moral right to health care power point
This document discusses whether Americans have a moral right to healthcare. It examines vital elements like codes of ethics, quality of care, and resource allocation that are necessary for a healthcare system to function properly and ensure people receive the medical treatment they need. The conclusion is that access to healthcare is a moral right that is directly connected to the constitutional right to life. Without these vital elements, medical practitioners could prioritize money over care and people may not receive proper treatment or could avoid seeking care altogether.
The American Medical Association
The American Medical Association (AMA) was founded by Nathan Smith Davis to promote medical education standards and eliminate untrained practitioners. The AMA aims to advance medicine and public health. It represents physicians through policymaking and provides resources to support medical education and community health projects. While the AMA has advocated for physicians' interests, critics argue it acts as an anticompetitive guild. The AMA maintains the Code of Medical Ethics to guide physicians.

This document discusses the challenges that the elderly face in accessing affordable and adequate healthcare. As the elderly population increases in size, more will require long-term care which is very expensive. Many elderly live on fixed incomes from social security and have to choose between basic needs like food and medication due to rising healthcare costs. The limited coverage of Medicare often leaves elderly shouldering thousands of dollars in medical bills. Improving preventative care and increasing the number of geriatricians could help alleviate costs and ensure the needs of the growing elderly population are met in the future.

In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.

This document discusses healthcare and national health insurance in the Philippines. It outlines how the Philippines established public and private healthcare systems in the 1900s, but public funding declined in the 1970s-1990s. It established the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation in 1994 to provide universal health coverage through premium-based insurance, though only 50% of the population was covered by 2010 with low reimbursement rates. The document proposes reforms to the national health agenda, including the government shouldering premiums for the poor, increasing benefits packages, and improving public health outcomes focused on maternal and child health.

Six quotations with sources describe the social justice and human rights underpinnings of public health. Public health professionals have a duty to share their knowledge of occurrences of injustice when it comes to health. A society that fails to ensure the conditions necessary for health is unjust.

The document calls on Congress to extend the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) for state Medicaid programs through June 30, 2011 in order to continue providing quality healthcare to millions of low-income Americans. It notes that during tough economic times, state Medicaid programs are underfunded and patients feel the impact of funding cuts, so the FMAP is needed to support these programs. The request is endorsed by numerous healthcare organizations.
The Role of Medicaid and Medicare In Women's Health Care, JAMA, May 15, 2013
This document contains information about government health coverage programs and how they serve women. It provides statistics that show:
1) Medicaid and Medicare together cover 30% of adult women, with women making up the majority of both programs.
2) Women who have Medicaid are poorer and in worse health than women who have private insurance. Most women on Medicaid are of reproductive age.
3) The majority of long-term care recipients are women, and Medicaid and Medicare pay for most long-term care spending.

This project aimed to analyze health data from six Native nations to identify actions to improve community health outside the conventional healthcare system. However, comparable health data across tribes was unavailable. Three new areas of inquiry emerged: 1) Tribes need skills and resources to conduct their own data collection and analysis to support their goals, rather than relying on inaccurate federal data. 2) While tribes have public health authority, they lack infrastructure, capacity and information to operate effective public health systems due to insufficient federal funding and data issues. 3) The social determinants framework for understanding Indigenous health has not been systematically researched and makes assumptions that are not fully applicable, so tribes need community-based efforts to define their own conceptions of health and identify determinants
Va Farm Bureau
- The document discusses rural health challenges in Virginia such as higher rates of obesity, less access to healthy foods and services, and limited school resources for nutrition education. It also notes the average age of Virginia farmers is 57 and that their health coverage costs almost twice as much as non-farmers.
- At the federal level, collaboration is needed for innovative rural health policy and equity. New funding through the Affordable Care Act aims to increase access by doubling community health centers and increasing healthcare workers in underserved areas. However, most rural access provisions may not be guaranteed long-term funding.
- In Virginia, the Farm Bureau has created a Rural Health Advisory Committee and sponsors an essay contest to promote rural health equity.

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.

The document argues that the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) provides critical funding to state Medicaid programs, allowing millions of low-income Americans to receive needed healthcare. During economic downturns when state budgets are tight, cuts to Medicaid funding most directly impact patients. A group of healthcare organizations are urging Congress to extend the FMAP through June 30, 2011 to protect access to quality care.

The document discusses the relationship between information inequality and health inequality. It argues that unequal access to information leads to limited engagement, participation, and empowerment, which can reinforce existing health inequalities. Ensuring open access to information for all members of society, along with efforts to improve health literacy, can help reduce inequalities and empower individuals and communities to make healthier choices.Wellness
This document discusses the costs and health impacts of obesity as well as strategies to control obesity-related healthcare costs. It notes that about 1/3 of the US adult population is obese, costing an estimated $21 billion annually in direct medical costs. Obesity increases the risk of diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Employers bear about 45% of obesity's financial burden through increased healthcare costs and lost productivity. Some companies are using incentives to encourage employees to adopt healthier behaviors. Effective programs combine physical activity and improved nutrition. Discrimination based on perceived obesity is also discussed.

Older adults face many barriers to maintaining good oral health, including lack of dental insurance and uncertainty about Medicare coverage. Nearly 60% of lower income older adults have no dental insurance, and over 50% are unsure if Medicare covers dental care. States also have inadequate policies to support older adult oral health, such as lacking state oral health plans that address their needs or not conducting surveys of their oral health status. Improving access will require expanding dental coverage through Medicaid and Medicare as well as continuing community water fluoridation and other support programs.
How Ethiopia is Empowering Women Through Community-Based Health Insurance
Ethiopia has implemented Community Based Health Insurance (CBHI) schemes to provide healthcare access and financial protection to its citizens. Through CBHI, members pay annual premiums into a collective fund which covers basic health costs. This empowers women by allowing them to access care without permission or money from male heads of household. Over 10 million Ethiopians in 181 districts now have insurance through CBHI, including vulnerable groups. The schemes have increased healthcare utilization and female-headed households are more likely to join than male-headed ones.

China has historically emphasized public health services but privatized in the 1990s. It is now shifting back towards public services due to lack of transparency and public confidence in the private system. Oral health care has been part of the public system since 1949, though dental clinics are rare in villages. Private clinics only emerged in 2003 and make up a small part of the sector. The number of dentists is unknown due to joint registration with doctors. Policy focuses on preventative care and treatment based on global health policies. A goal has been the 1998 National Committee of Oral Health.

The camera feeds can be viewed by control room operators to assist with faster fault detection and resolution. Key benefits include improved safety monitoring of field workers, improved reliability of the distribution network, and more efficient maintenance and fault response activities. The solution involves configuring IP camera properties like the camera address and port as tags in the SCADA system to enable live video streaming to the control interface.

Wellness and HealthWellness refers to the state of bein.docx
Wellness and Health
Wellness refers to the state of being in good health. Wellness is essential for one to work effectively so that the set goals are met. For the goals to be realized, all the seven areas of health are important because they are connected. The first area of health is education. Education is one of the indicators of life outcomes, for instance, social status, employment, and income and can also be used to predict wellbeing and attitude (Anderson, 2015). Other people apply education as a tool that helps them in shaping their social identity and establishing an understanding of their environment. Education shapes the social identity on how people relate with each other in society. A positive social identity is characterized by positive results, such as increased health status, wellbeing, political engagement, and social trust. Currently, a lot of emphases has been placed on education, and therefore those with lower education find it much challenging to positively identify themselves socially hence negatively affecting their self-esteem and wellbeing (Anderson, 2015).
Individuals with higher education levels tend to develop much interest to vie for political positions than those with lower levels of education. These educated individuals also have got more social trust than their uneducated counterparts — several studies confirmed that there are a number of health benefits of education. Baum &Payea (2013) explains that a more educated person has a higher probability of getting a good job with health-promoting packages such as health insurance. On the other hand, those with low education have higher chances of doing risky jobs. Those individuals who are more educated are subjected to more earnings. A Population Survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor and the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2012 confirmed that college graduates registered twice as many average earnings than their colleagues who had dropped out of high school and one and a half higher than those who had graduated from high school (Baum &Payea, 2013).
The families that earn more income are in a position to buy healthy food, can get time to perform exercises and can afford to pay for health services and transport cost. Consequently, low level of education brings about job insecurity, poor pay and the vulnerability of these individuals and their families are much higher during hard times leading to poor housing, malnutrition, and inability to afford medical services. Individuals with higher education levels and therefore, have got higher incomes do not suffer from health-related stress that is attached to chronic social and economic hardships (Baum &Payea, 2013). The category of individuals with lower levels of education has limited resources such as social support, a feeling of control over life, and high self-esteem to counter the stress.
Education from school and outside school enables individuals to acquire skills and foster traits that they w ...

Introduction
The health of a population is influenced by both its social and its economic circumstances and health care services it receives. The health care services provided to Hispanics and black in United States of America is low. Throughout the years we have seen advancements in the health care quality received by ethnic minorities groups. But there is still a large gap when comparing minorities with their white counterparts (Vicini, 2015). This has affected the two groups which have low income families and experience poor quality care. Hispanic and blacks are less likely to have a high school education. Disparities in quality of care are common among the blacks and Hispanics in USA. For instance adults of 65 years and above receive worse care than adults with 18-44 years. Poor people have worse access to care than the high income people (Lee et al., 2003).
Healthcare Disparities between the Blacks and the Latinos in USA
The healthcare insurance status for the blacks and Latinos is low and as a result it forms barriers to access to quality health care utilization. Language barriers in health care are associated with decrease in quality of care, safety, patient and clinical satisfaction and contribute to health disparities even among people with insurance. Statistics have shown when comparing blacks and Latinos to their whi ...

The document discusses rising healthcare costs in the US, especially for the aging population, and potential solutions. It notes that Medicare and Medicaid costs are unsustainable and many doctors do not accept those patients due to low reimbursement rates. Several solutions are proposed: 1) Reconsidering elder care options like home care instead of nursing homes could reduce costs while improving quality. 2) Using technology to deliver home-based care may improve financial outcomes. 3) Educating elders on healthy behaviors could reduce expensive chronic diseases. Overall, changes are needed to make elder care more efficient and reduce healthcare spending.

White Paper - Population Health
Today it’s critical for providers to devote time to patient education; inform patients about their conditions and how to prevent, treat, and manage them. Proper management of chronic conditions extends well beyond episodic and infrequent visits to a provider’s office. This population health white paper discusses why patients must become responsible for their day-to-day disease management. Patients will frequently be required to self-monitor their health indicators, observe symptoms, and note behavior, but they must also adhere to complex medication regimens

MAJOR HEALTH CARE PROBLEMS IN THE U.S. 2
Major Health Care Problems in the US
Problem statement: High and continuously rising cost of health care has been and still is one of
the biggest challenges affecting the Health Care system in United States.
Methods of Examining the Problem
Both qualitative and quantitative research methods should be used to fully understand the
issue of high cost of care in the US. Quantitative methods like surveys and experimentations will
aid in estimating the prevalence, magnitude and frequency of the problem in different regions.
On the other hand, qualitative methods like case studies and observation will help describe the
extent and complexity of the issue. The two approaches need to work in complementation to
obtain a clear understanding of this menace.
Surveys, as a quantitative research method, is one of the most effective in the social
research and present a more viable method of examining the cost of health in the country. They
involve asking of questions in the form of questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaires are
written questions to which the response can be open ended or multiple-choice format. This
would be used to gain information about cost within determinants that are of
disagree/neutral/agree nature. An example is if patients are contented with the cost of services
they get or they deem the cost of cover worthy. Interviews, the researcher discussing issues with
the respondents, are to be used to gain more details on already known aspects of the system. This
may include gathering information to inform policies, administration and use of technology to
minimize the cost of care.
Since health cost in the US is not a new challenge and there have been studies about it,

The document proposes an "Idiot-Proof US Healthcare" (I-PUSH) plan that would establish a single-payer universal healthcare system in the United States. It outlines the current problems with the US healthcare system, including high costs, lack of access for many Americans, and poor health outcomes compared to other developed nations with universal healthcare. The proposed I-PUSH plan would provide healthcare to all Americans financed through progressive taxes, delivered through government-run facilities organized into primary, secondary, and tertiary care tiers, with the goal of making the system easy for both consumers and providers to manage.

Abstract
Lack of health care insurance, once thought to be a problem of the poor, and has
now begun to affect a new population- the middle class. The major factors
contributing to this are increased deductibles and co-payments, cost shifting and
the introduction of managed care networks. The idea of a universal health plan has
been introduced several times over the last few decades. With the introduction of
Medicare and Medicaid came the promise of a more inclusive health care plan for
all Americans. However, Medicare and Medicaid remain largely unchanged from
what they were when they were first introduced in 1965. The U. S. was built on the
foundation of ‘unalienable rights’. Why then is the number of uninsured and
uninsured rising and projected to continue rising? This article seeks to explore
these questions.

Introduction
One in six Americans doesn’t have health insurance. Studies have shown that health
insurance and poverty are the strongest determinants of access to health services
(Guendelman, et. al, 1986). The uninsured are less likely to obtain medical attention
when they have a perceived "need for care". This is best illustrated in the case of
George and Tina. George and Tina were siblings who had been diagnosed with
diabetes in childhood. However, their disease went un.

▶ Introduction
It is important as a healthcare consumer to understand the history of the U.S. healthcare delivery system, how it operates today, who participates in the system, what legal and ethical issues arise as a result of the system, and what problems continue to plague the healthcare system. We are all consumers of health care. Yet, in many instances, we are ignorant of what we are actually purchasing. If we were going to spend $1,000 on an appliance or a flat-screen television, many of us would research the product to determine if what we are purchasing is the best product for us. This same concept should be applied to purchasing healthcare services.
Increasing healthcare consumer awareness will protect you in both the personal and professional aspects of your life. You may decide to pursue a career in health care either as a provider or as an administrator. You may also decide to manage a business where you will have the responsibility of providing health care to your employees. And last, from a personal standpoint, you should have the knowledge from a consumer point of view so you can make informed decisions about what matters most—your health. The federal government agrees with this philosophy.
As the U.S. population’s life expectancy continues to lengthen—increasing the “graying” of the population—the United States will be confronted with more chronic health issues because, as we age, more chronic health conditions develop. The U.S. healthcare system is one of the most expensive systems in the world. According to 2014 statistics, the ...
Evidence based Practice
Healthy People 2010 aims to improve national health through two overarching goals: increasing quality and years of healthy life, and eliminating health disparities. It monitors progress through 467 objectives across 28 focus areas. Achieving its goals requires recognizing that health is determined by interactions between individual behaviors, environments, and policies targeting factors like access to healthcare. Two successful programs that exemplify this systematic approach are Action for Healthy Kids, which promotes healthy school environments, and the 100 Black Men Health Challenge, which empowers communities through lifestyle modeling and education.
