Question A
The root of any successful economy is the heath of it natives, the people who work in the building of the nation. True to the word, a health nation is indeed a wealthy nation. For this thought, the United States of America developed the motion that is to navigate the idea of a perfect economy, which it simply refers to as the U.S health care system.
The main motive of this system is to simplify service delivery in medical terms. The system does this by concentrating the areas of interest into groups. These groups interact with each other, but are in themselves purposed processes. For example, the resource includes processes of payments, and service delivery.
Question B
The system according to Leiyu and Sigh is a component of factors, which loosely integrate to achieve a certain motive (2009). In most cases, the aim of the integration is perfect health. The system divides into resource, process and outcomes, which dictate the developed system. The integration of these is true from my own experience when I took my brother to the hospital for treatment purposes, when he was ailing from malaria after our trip from Uganda.
The payment of the doctors service was the resource, the treatment process of medical care was the system process and after a while he was discharged from the hospital, this was the outcome.
Question C
Health care delivery in the United States depends on the factors of demand and supply. The provision of medical services and its receivership is still in consideration as a business and just like any other act of business.
A free market is dependent on worthy and tolerable service delivery. In the United States, the idea of a free market does not apply to the latter in health care provision (Leiyu, Sigh, 2009). From Leiyu and Sigh’s book, six criteria determine the perfectness of such a system, which the health care system does not meet. A key element of these is the ability for a customer, in this case the patient, is unable to dictate or contribute to the finality of cost of service. There is less power given to the patient to concise the doctor to offer him or her services at a reduced.
In the broader spectrum, health care system must be in organization for the sole benefit of a patient. Nevertheless, it is important to consider that every business must have a profit and profits cause sacrifice of one or two aspects of a free market.
