COUNTRIES THAT I COMPARED
...PROVIDE FREE MEDICAL CARE FOR CHILDREN, ELDERLY AND THE POOR. WE OFFER ALL TYPES OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMS TO HELP ENSURE THE WELL BEING OF AMERICANS AND ALOT OF THE PROGRAMS ARE FREE TO THE LOW INCOME POPULATION. WE HAVE HOSPITALS, COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, WALK- IN CLINICS ALL THESE THINGS ARE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC. EXPENDITURES PER CAPITA FOR THE U.S. IS $34,637, COMPARE TO THAT OF VENEZUELA $280.00 AND PANAMA AT $464.00. BY LOOKING AT THE TOTAL HEALTH EXPENDITURES PER CAPITA, I CAN GAIN THE MOST INFORMATION ABOUT HOW EFFECTIVE THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS.IF THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT FUNDING THE HEALTH CARE THEN IT WOULD MEANS IT IS BEING FUND BY THE PUBLIC. THOSE WITH MONEY WOULD RECEIVE CARE AND THOSE WITHOUT WOULD BE AT THE MERCY OF THE PEOPLE OR THEIR FAMILIES. CREATING A HEALTH CARE SYSTEM THAT COULD MEET THE NEEDS OF EVERYONE IS A VERY DIFFICULT TASK. I WOULD LIKE TO CREATE A CENTRALIZED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THAT CARE WOULD BE RENDERED TO EVERYONE. INCOME, SOCIAL STATUS, RACE OR GENDER WILL NOT DICTATE THE TYPE OF CARE A PERSON WOULD RECEIVE. THE MEDICAL SYSTEM WILL BE UNDER THE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT. I WOULD PROVIDE NATIONAL INSURANCE FOR ALL THOSE WHOSE INCOME FELL BELOW A CERTAIN LEVEL. THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY A SMALL PORTION THAT WOULD BE DEDUCTED FROM THEIR PAYCHECKS EACH WEEK. FOR THOSE THAT ARE LESS FORTUNATE AND DON’T’ WORK THE FEE WOULD BE WAVIED. I WOULD HAVE SPECIFIC AGENCIES AT DIFFERENT LEVELS TO ENSURE THE AVAILABILITY, ACCESSIBLITY AND ACCEPTABLITY FOR ALL. THE MOST NEEDED AREAS OF FOCUS WOULD BE THE ELDERLY, CHILDREN AND THE DISABLED. RESEARCH FOR THE PREVENT AND CURE OF DISEASE WILL ALSO BE FEDERALLY FUNDED. I’D ENSURE THAT PROGRAMS WERE INCORPATED TO PROVIDE EDUCATION TO ALL. THIS MEANS THAT ALL PLACES OF EMPLOYMENT WILL BE REQUIRED TO SET ASIDE TIME QUARTERLY TO EDUCATE PERSONNEL ON HEALTH PROMOTION AND ILLNESS PREVENTION. HEALTH CARE COVERAGE FOR HOSPITAL STAY, SURGERY...
