Expertly Written Creative Writing On Healthcare To Follow

The two main objectives of a healthcare delivery system are to provide healthcare for anybody who needs it, as well as to deliver quality care at a price patients can afford to pay. Countries around the world have a different position on how to deliver these two main objectives. For example, Canada has true universal healthcare. Citizens pay higher taxes in order to afford this healthcare, but in return if an individual is hurt, sick, mental ill, becomes pregnant, needs a dentist, or just has a chest cold, almost all of the expenses are covered at a very reasonable rate. In contrast, America has attempted to transition to universal healthcare with the implantation of the ACA. Though it is in the midst of repeal, the ACA allowed for individual who were once uninsurable due to preexisting conditions such as flat feet, or even pregnancy, to be insured. The ACA also helped slow the rise in healthcare costs to their slowest rate in nearly fifty years.
Two healthcare sectors who likely spend the most money in healthcare are hospital care and, today, governmental insurance. With the advent of the ACA, preventative medicine has been on the rise, and this has prevented many hospitalizations while allowing the uninsurable get healthy and remain healthy. However, some individuals still remain in need of hospital care. In fact, many rural hospitals have closed down, and hospitals in large cities still remain over-crowded. It is not just on patients that hospitals are spending money, but also on transitionary tools, such as converting all paper records to electronic health records. Governmental insurance expanded Medicaid as a part of ACA, giving each state the choice to implement the action. For the first several years, the federal government was going to fully cover the Medicaid expansion, slowly weening off the expenses onto the state. For now, however, it likely still remains one of the top financial expenditures in the healthcare sector.
Given the aging population and upcoming changes to healthcare policing concerning prescription drugs, healthcare, and the seniors, it appears Medicaid and Social Security will likely be the most effected by any changes in health policy. In 2006, Medicaid Part D was enacted, specifically to ensure seniors were entitled to prescriptions drugs they needed, but also to help those under 65 who were permanently disabled and financially disadvantaged. As of 2017, only 231 PDP plans will be available across the country for individuals, a stark contrast to the 640 available in 2007. It is estimated only 3 plans, total will be available in Florida, for example. A change like this can have a domino effect on all involved in Medicaid Part D, allowing us to assume not only that the plan is being downsized for the permanently disabled under 65, but seniors as well. Moreover, upcoming changes in healthcare policy have already suggested that Medicaid and Social Security will be cut for all who rely on it, according to public remarks made by the PEOTUS and his team. While ACA is in repeal, no such replacement has been made public, making it difficult to be certain. However, the dwindling number of PDP plans for Medicare Part D is striking.
An individual’s quality of life can be changed drastically based on health care delivery. A sick individual’s quality of life depends entirely on healthcare delivery. If it is quick, or sanitary, or competent it can be the difference between whether they remain healthy or not. It can also be the difference between whether they live or die. Poor delivery of healthcare could mean an individual remains perpetually ill, or passes away. It could also result in return visits to a physician or, depending on their illness they may begin to spread a sickness or disease. It is crucial that healthcare delivery remains at its best in order to give patients the best quality of life they can hope for. It is also important healthcare delivery remains modern for the same reason. Archaic healthcare delivery can be crippling. For example, a remedy for some illnesses used to be to administer nickel. This would, of course, turn the individual blue. A popular recourse for mental illness was a lobotomy, and homosexuality was at one time listed in the DSM. Healthcare, physical or mental, needs to remain modern to deliver a high quality of life for patients who seek solutions to their problems.
