Discuss: Finance Healthcare Service
Isleidy Alvarez 1 postsRe: Topic 4 DQ 1
The methods used to finance health care service is a major concern in America and it plays a major role in shaping a country’s health care system. Health care services include such as hospital care, physician care, dental services, and drugs that are provided directly to individuals.
The question of how to sustain, finance and manage healthcare involves a deeply ideological and political question, who is going to pay for it and how? Green (2018) discusses how the health profession continues to evolve, including various reforms in the United States public health policies, and the need for the development of plans to improve public health.
When evaluating healthcare and insurance companies’ clinical effectiveness, compared to their financial sustainability, one can see that as far as the stakeholder/patient is concerned, companies do not want you to know about the practice of “covert rationing”. This practice by insurance companies, often limits availability of treatments, as a cost savings measure, and to preserve profits or raise salaries to company staff (Torrey,2018).
These issues of cost-effectiveness and rationed care can directly affect the quality and availability of care needed to obtain positive patient outcomes. I believe a reform solution to improve effectiveness in this area of concern, would be the greater need for transparency of coverage on the healthcare providers side, and increasing competitiveness among provider companies.
I believe that plans for universal healthcare need careful reconsideration. Also, I feel that the influx of millions of immigrants to the united states does nothing to improve this healthcare crisis. Again, who is going to pay for it, and how? This raises the concerns that reliance on taxation may be associated with higher private payments, especially during economic downturns (Evans,2002). It is all about freedom of choice, personal responsibility and required political and social involvement.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
