On the basis of your observations, create a 1- to 2-page report. Include References

Your report should address the following questions:

• After going through the statistics:
  • What information or statistic you find either surprising or reasonable?
  • Do you anticipate the statistics will be similar in ten years? Why or why not?
• The
  current structure of healthcare coverage in the United States has a
  combination of employer-based coverage and public program (e.g.,
  Medicare, Medicaid) coverage, with a large uninsured population. If a
  single-payer system is implemented where Medicare is expanded to cover
  all citizens for those who prefer private insurance, there will be
  comparable coverage under the same range of private insurance plans
  already available. Keeping in mind these considerations, answer the
  following questions:
  • What do you think about allowing some people
    to purchase additional insurance, thereby creating a two-tier health
    system based on affordability?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of this initiative?
• Considering
  the fact that healthcare is not a guaranteed right for everyone in the
  United States, there are different kinds of barriers and obstacles in
  obtaining healthcare. In contrast to this fact, the notions of equity
  and fairness are considered very important. You will notice that these
  notions aren’t considered when we discuss people’s access to other
  goods, such as cars and computers.
  • What are these barriers? Give examples of the different barriers to health care under the following headings:
    • Financial barriers
    • Scarcity of healthcare providers
    • Barriers to access healthcare
    • Cultural barriers
    • Barriers of healthcare resources
  • How
    would you define the term, “equity and fairness”, in the context of the
    healthcare situations prevailing in the United States and Canada?
  • Why are they considered important when discussing people’s access to care?
• It
  is believed that government funded healthcare for all citizens is
  consistent with a capitalist economy and the cultural values of
  self-determination and free enterprise.
  • Do you agree with this
    statement? If not, what other approaches do you think will resolve the
    current inequities in the system?
