Argumentative Essay On Health Insurance
Not having the best health insurance these days is a concern for majority of Americans simply because of the cost. Providers are fully aware of that and should be able to provide much needed care and run the tests needed for proper treatment and if not, they should guide them to where can be treated like they have the best health insurance. I know insurance gets a lot of heat for patient’s treatment but at the end of the day, if patient didn’t have that insurance he/she would been in much worst condition. There are resources that are available with insurance that educates the patient where to go and who to see for their health problems. I work with insurance and there are just two sides to every story, this is nothing against your arguments.

    Both the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Federal Trade Commission make strong arguments and I agree with both sides. I do not think that advertising plays that much of a huge role in childhood obesity as the Kaiser Family Foundation argues, but I do think that it may have a relatively big influence on exposing the child to their interest in food early on. Exposing the child to food targeted to young children such as candies or unhealthy appealing foods will eventually gain the interest of the child and most-likely lead to a more unhealthy lifestyle in the future. The FTC’s argument is supported by statistical facts not dealing with the direct effect of obesity but rather on the rates of food-related advertising being shown to children at certain…

Her primary reference is Dr. Davis, an obstetrician/ gynecologist who gives shares her observations of what she overheard from patients. Her patients seemed to be concerned, that after the Obamacare is repealed, the benefits at the clinic are going to be extremely limited.

    To briefly state, a universal single payer care as stated before is a health care system for all. We are the only industrialized country that has not yet adopted this type of health care. Why though? Mostly because many Americans are not educated on the subject of this type of health care. Yet health care cost has risen dramatically in the past years, but with this new implementation of health care “The program would be funded by the savings obtained from replacing today’s inefficient, profit-oriented, multiple insurance payers with a single streamlined, nonprofit, public payer, and by modest new taxes based on ability to pay”. This way Americans may be able to save more money and have decrease in spending’s on health care. One may question just how could cost of health care get lower with this implementation? Well that’s because “no competition, a non-profit structure, and a reduced number of administrative staff. The high salaries for administrators and sales people are eliminated in a single payer system.” Since the government will be the only health care insurance this will eliminate physicians from increasing rates on equipment…

    Universal healthcare in my opinion is the most important discussion we’ve had in this class up to this point. I say this because it is a current affair that will reshape and redefine our country socially and economically. While the idea of universal healthcare looks phenomenal on paper there has been no data to prove that this proposed system will work efficiently anywhere but on paper. I am against the idea of universal or government run healthcare and I will cite reasons why I feel like this reform will ultimately fail us. That being said I feel like I should also say that I am not against the notion of helping the needy I just feel like we haven’t had any reform proposed that I agree with. If such a reform were proposed I would argue to help the needy, but until we have a viable, transparent plan we will sacrifice our domestic care and the care the global community has come to expect from America.…

    A problem that affects more than 70% percent of Americans and costs those same Americans over $250 billion annually (Sparks 1). This controversial problem can only be described as the cost of prescription medication. Currently, Americans pay on average $858 annually for prescription medication which is more than 17% percent of total healthcare expenses (Thompson 1). That figure is more than double the average prescription cost across 19 other industrialized countries (Thompson 1). These alarming numbers will also not stop growing, “four of the top ten prescription drugs in the United States have increased in price be more than 100 percent since 2011” (“THE FACTS ABOUT RISING PRESCRIPTION” 2 ). An antimalarial drug was just increased by more than 5,000% from about $13 to $750 (Thompson 2). These rising prices caused more than 35 million Americans to not fill their prescriptions last year (Sanders 1).…

    Life was different back in the 1880s. The telephone had just been invented, James Garfield was president, and doctors used heroin and cocaine as medicine. Alas, many doctors knew very little about medicine. Oftentimes unsafe and unsterile practices were used on patients. The NY Times reports that, “At least a dozen medical experts probed the President [Garfield]’s wound, often with unsterilized metal instruments or bare hands, as was common at the time. Historians agree that massive infection, which resulted from unsterile practices, contributed to Garfield’s death. One man suggested that they turn the president upside down and see if the bullet would just fall out.” Because of their usual lack of success, doctors did not charge very much for their services; it was very affordable most of the time, even for middle class families. However, as time and technology progressed, the cost of healthcare and medical instruments dramatically rose. In his “New Deal” package, President Roosevelt proposed a state-run healthcare system with compulsory health insurance for state residents, but states could choose whether to participate. The federal government would provide some subsidies and set minimum standards that the state had to adhere by. While the proposal did not pass, the idea of universal healthcare coverage for everyone stuck. Since Roosevelt, every single Democratic President elected into office has attempted to pass a version of universal health care, but none have achieved the feat. That is, until President Obama was sworn into office in January 2009. In his 2008 presidential campaign, he made healthcare reform a central issue. Both parties adopted their version of reform, but since Democrats held a majority in the House and the Senate at the time, their version was the one that passed. On March 23rd, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (dubbed by many…

    The current issue that the government will have to face is what to do with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) given the recent presidential election outcome. The answer is not simple regarding whether the ACA should be replaced or repealed. The new president and congress will also have to focus on the costs of health care, driven by new drugs and treatments, an aging population, and how to preserve the Medicare program, whose current funding cannot be forever sustained. The ACA created subsidies and increased federal spending for healthcare for the purchase of health insurance and Medicaid expansion. At the same time, it reduced spending for Medicare and introduced reforms likely to make health care delivery more efficient (Rivlin & Reischauer,…
