  • Essay on The Rising Cost of Health Care

    ...Rising Cost of Health Care: Effects on Access to Care The rising cost of health care is a trend that is negatively influencing access to health care. According to our course textbook, Policy and Politics in Nursing and Health Care, over 46 million Americans did not have health coverage in 2008, and 25 million American adults were underinsured (p. 124-125). For most people, this can be attributed to the high cost of premiums, co-pays, and deductibles. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the history of the trend of rising health care costs, the influence rising costs have on the delivery of health care, how rising costs create disparities in health care, and two ways that nurses can address inadequate access to health care. Access Trend In the U.S., there are more people today than ever before, unable to access quality health care. “Access is the ability to obtain needed, affordable, convenient, acceptable, and effective health care in a timely fashion” (Mason, Leavitt, & Chaffee, 2012, p. 124). This lack of access is attributable to the high cost of...

    ... Significant Health Care Event: Affordable Care Act Tiffany L. Boldon University of Phoenix Abstract The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) (ACA) or Obamacare is the most signification change the U.S. medical system since Medicare and Medicaid reform during the 1960’s. The Affordable Care Act or ACA is designed to ensure that all Americans have medical coverage. It gives those that were uninsured a means to now have health insurance, offers a more affordable coverage to those who couldn’t afford their premiums, expanded the limitations on public insurance and subsidizes private insurance coverage, and with Medicare, expanded, reorganized, and reduced cost on some additional supplemental options. Identifying the impacts of such fundamental reform to the health care system was without a doubt a difficult task and hard to foresee. However these future impacts were foreseen in order for this legislature to pass. This paper discusses how the ACA changes health care, and the historical evolution that has already or what may be to come. It will also discuss my personal view on just how significant the impact has been.

  • health care stakeholder Essay

    ...The Role of The Public in The Health Care System The first and foremost among health care stakeholders is the pubic. Without the public, there wouldn’t be a need for the system. They are the one who pays for the service (tax or health insurance premium) and consume the service. Unfortunately, the gross combined enrollment of 119.249 million in Medicaid and Medicare in 2011 outnumbered the 112.556 million full-time workers employed in both the private sector and in government in 2011. (www.cnsnews.com) The role and the view of the public have changed so much in the past few decades. In the 19th and early 20th century, providers distanced patients from awareness of costs and responsibilities. More recently, the public are more educated and more encouraged significantly in participating in every health care decision. Consumers have turned to the Internet in part because of the dissatisfaction with the amount of information available from traditional sources. The public cynicism spawned as increasing information about the problems of costs, quality, and access has become public. The public is more prepared with media and internet information, more informed about treatment options, and more concerned about cost. This more knowledgeable and involved patient population has placed a new challenge on the providers. (Sultz &...

  • High Costs of Health Care Essay

    ...Lopez EN-101 04/25/2012 Today health care reform in the United States is an ongoing battle on Capitol Hill. In 2009 the United States spent around $8,000 per person on health care, that’s 17.6% of our product which is double the amount other industrialized countries spend on health care. Other countries deliver the exact same type of care the United States does but at half the cost. What does this mean about the health care system in place now? This means that there must be some kind of health care reform in the United States. The president has constructed a plan called Obamacare, but this plan will cost the American people more if they do not abide by the individual mandate. If Obamacare is overturned by the Supreme Court it leaves the United States with other options like the single payer system that is currently place in Canada. The single payer system is health care that is funded from a single public insurance pool and the pool is funded by a mix of employees, employers, and the government. Health care should be reformed, but into a more reasonable, efficient and cost effective system like the single payer system so everyone has access to health care. The United States is currently...

  • The Cost Of Health Care Essay

    ...The Cost of Health Care: A Problem That Concerns Everyone Emily Chromizky HCA 303: The U.S. Health Care System Mary Teslow, Instructor February 7, 2015 The cost of health care is a problem that the majority of Americans will face at some point in their lives. In America, the cost of health care is steadily rising while in other countries it is also rising but not nearly as quickly. This rising cost is causing many Americans to go without the care they need. How did we get to this point and what will we, as Americans, do about it? This is, by far, not a new problem, but it is one that has yet to be solved. In 2012, healthcare costs topped 2.8 trillion dollars, with an average of $8,915 dollars spent per person. (Wilson, 2014) The rising cost of health care is taking much more money out of the budgets of millions of Americans. (Sultz, 2012) “Health care spending consumed 42% of federal revenues and 6% of household incomes.” (Wilson, 2014) With numbers like that, many Americans are neglecting their health because they simply cannot afford it. Now that the Affordable Care Act has be enacted, it may lift the burden for some of them. “It was not until concerns over the rising...

  • Health Care Costs Essay

    ...Health Care Costs Health care costs have become a major issue in the United States, both socially and politically. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 50.7 million people, or nearly one in six U.S. residents, were uninsured in 2009 (Kaiser Health News, 2010).This is because the high cost of health care has driven the cost of insurance out of the reach of many Americans. Contributing factors to the continuing increase in the cost of health care are the generally unhealthy lifestyle practiced by many Americans (obesity, smoking, etc.) and the advances in medical technology. Insurance companies have sought ways to keep the cost of health care down by offering incentives to insured persons to live healthier lifestyles and use less coverage, and by making discount arrangements with providers. The government has tried to make health care more accessible and affordable through the Social Security Amendments of 1983, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the current Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Historical Trends in Financing Health Care Modern health insurance traces its beginnings to the 1920s...

  • Essay on Health Care Cost

    ... Health Care Cost There are many reasons to why the costs in health care continue to increase. This cost increased started in the early 1990’s, health care expenditure increasing at a faster rate than the inflation, gross domestic product (GDP), or the population. In 2014, national health expenditures reach $5.4 trillion, or $18,709 per person. Some of the issues that contribute to expenditure increase were changes in population demographics, supply and demand; cost inflation, advances in new technology, and resources utilization. According to The Effect of Health Care Cost Growth on the U.S. Economy, (2014) the United States spends more on health care services than any other country, exceeding $2.6 trillion, or about 18 percent of gross domestic product. As a share of GDP, health spending has increased 18.3 percent. Medical expenditures exceeded the nation’s economy and everyone was affected by these issues in health care. New technology was purchased which led to more spending in health care organizations and this will continue to increase in the future. According to Control Health Care...
