Chapter 14

Chapter 14 discusses the health care system here in America. We provide two major health care insurance programs in the United States which are Medicare and Medicaid. The majority of Americans are covered by some form of managed care; however there are issues of concerns that pertain to this system, the cost, access, and quality triangle. This leads to barriers to access health care because there is a lack of health insurance, insufficient insurance, and poverty within our population. The United States is the only developed country without national health insurance. We must reform our Health Care because it has only gotten worse and worse. I am not sure what works for Canada, and other countries will work for us, but we need to do something different because what we are doing is not working well or efficiently. This is a problem many people are afraid to discuss, we just need to get out in the open and start solving it.
