Reply Q.1(Nichoals)

Based on my own personal experience I truly believe in order to improve

Access to care and cost, we must provide strong outreach to the communities hard to reach. If you have a population that drives 40 miles to a local clinic, chances are they will only go there only on emergency basis, neglecting preventive care such as mammogram, colonoscopy, routine blood work to mitigate issues from morphing into a bigger issue which will affect our economy in a negative way down the line. For example, if you can make a 40 mile trip to ensure you have your annual check ups and prevent or detect early stages of cancer, if you neglect to go every year and you detect it too late, your treatment cost or if you are low income, the state/federal budget is going to have to spend more money on you long term, affecting the overall economy. Preventive services not only in remote areas but everywhere in my opinion should be revisited in the reforms.

I think the U.S. can make amendments to the Affordable Care Act to make it more affordable for citizens.  Having insurance that fits within everyone's budget will make for a more healthy society.  According to a site I found, expanding Medicare is another good idea (Harris, 2019).  I also think providing more options for care.  Sometimes, based on what you can afford or what insurance you choose, you may not have a wide variety of healthcare facilities to go to.  If insurance companies have better options for providers, then they may be more likely to participate in their plans.  This gives patients more options for care.  Providing more tax credits as incentives may motivate some who wouldn't normally have insurance to have. 

I think being able to offer more insurance plans according to income levels would be beneficial.  There can be rates based on neighborhoods and average costs of living.  Drug costs should definitely be decreased.  These pharmaceutical companies are making a killing and even with insurance, your copay may be ridiculous.  Having more medications available over-the-counter will create easier access for patients who have no or inadequate insurance.

I must apologize for my post yesterday when I said ," I don't care", its been a very bad week for myself and my wife as her father passed and her mom and brother really set us both off and her brother actually threatened to punch me on the face because I was trying to get my wife  help because she stopped taking her medication which is considered a violation of the agreement she signed with her doctors. As I stated DO NO HARM...My advice has always been put yourself in the other person's shoes before you are quick to react and say something or do something that causes physical or mental harm to another person. This class has taught me more about the implications of the law around me and how to appreciate more the values and morals that have been instilled upon me by my parents and grandparents and my family. As I also stated the fact that the emergency room has put me in a room with a camera has been coincidence  because of spacing and rooms available at that particular time. I actually talked to an emergency room representative that no only listened to my concerns but explained what really has happened in my past encounters.

Hi Professor and Class,

One aspect of international healthcare that I would implement in the U.S. through legislation or other means would be universal health coverage for all citizens. Most Americans obtain coverage through their employers with options designed to meet their financial preferences Healthcare costs can be a very challenging and sensitive subject for those who can’t afford it. My reasoning this that the U.S. lacks equitable care and there are demographic distinctions of quality healthcare. I believe this is based on socioeconomic inequalities and other social determinants of care. Government funding should be allocated fairly so that there are better options. More compromised communities tend to have residents with unmanaged comorbidities.  Oftentimes affordability is a contributing factor as to why people don’t seek healthcare. For example, Denmark’s healthcare system is free to all residents and has a strong morbidity and mortality rates, all vaccines are covered for children, income taxes pay for health insurance and its decentralized. The success of Denmark’s healthcare system is that the citizens support the initiative although taxes are high.

Research led me to Commonwealth Fund’s 2020 edition of International Profiles of Health Care Systems, a comprehensive resource for learning about health care systems around the world, 19 countries to be specific. Users can find information on how nations organize, govern, and finance their health systems; efforts to improve quality of care, contain costs, and reduce racial and ethnic disparities; innovations in health care delivery; and other recent reforms.  Common in most countries, Universal health care is one program that I would propose be implemented in this country.

· Australia has a regionally administered, universal public health insurance program that is financed through general tax revenue and a government levy. Enrollment is automatic for citizens, who receive free public hospital care and substantial coverage for physician services, pharmaceuticals, and certain other services. 

· Brazil’s decentralized, universal public health system is funded with tax revenues and contributions from federal, state, and municipal governments. All residents and visitors, including undocumented individuals, can access free, comprehensive services, including primary, outpatient specialty, mental health, and hospital care, as well as prescription drug coverage.

· Switzerland’s universal health care system is highly decentralized, with the cantons, or states, playing a key role in its operation.

And so on …

The ACA still has many limitations but brings the US closer to a universal health care system, to minimize if not eliminate the number of uninsured and underinsured. I would propose taking the components of ACA and execute a 2nd wave of health care reform.

I would implement Universal Healthcare because the United States do not have it. The U.S. health system is a mix of public and private, for-profit and nonprofit insurers and health care providers. 

The United States does not have universal health insurance coverage. Nearly 92 percent of the population was estimated to have coverage in 2018, leaving 27.5 million people, or 8.5 percent of the population, uninsured.1 Movement toward securing the right to health care has been incremental.2

Employer-sponsored health insurance was introduced during the 1920s. It gained popularity after World War II when the government imposed wage controls and declared fringe benefits, such as health insurance, tax-exempt. In 2018, about 55 percent of the population was covered under employer-sponsored insurance.3
