Changes in Healthcare in the United StatesThis article illustrates how universal healthcare may lead to a healthy population in America and assist in mitigating an unhealthy nation\'s economic costs for a long time. Specifically (Zieff et al. 2020), there exist significant disparities in the United States where citizens within the low socio-economic category of the population are exposed to low or decreased quality healthcare access and increased exposure to chronic non-communicable conditions like type II diabetes and obesity among poor health determinants (Zieff et al. 2020). According to the article, the implementation of universal healthcare though would be challenging and complicated; changing from a market-based system to a universal system is vital (Galvani et al. 2020). This is because universal healthcare will better encourage and facilitate preventive, sustainable health practices and be more profitable for the long-term economy and public health of the United States of America.The article further illustrates the advantages and disadvantages of universal healthcare in the United States, where some of the demerits include logistical challenges and colossal upfront costs.On the other hand, though per capita healthcare expenditure in the United States is higher than in other countries, over 37 million Americans do not have health insurance. In comparison, more than 42 million citizens do not have access to adequate care (Zieff et al., 2020). Even though the current…

We can only achieve genuine public health on an economically viable road via universal and inclusive healthcare (Zieff et al., 2020). To conclude, this article has provided an extensive illustration of the importance of a shift to universal healthcare other than the current market-based…

Under the current Medicare and Medicaid plans, however, the government sets specific amounts that doctors and hospitals may bill and any amount over that will not be paid. This limit leads to many doctors refusing to accept government patients or reducing the amount of care for those patients (Maschue

The American healthcare system is in a crisis situation, with exorbitant spending unbalanced by “poor health outcomes, including shorter life expectancy and greater prevalence of chronic conditions” versus high income countries with universal healthcare systems (Squires & Anderson, 2015, p. 1). The Affordable Care Act was an attempt, albeit an incomplete one, to reform the way healthcare is structured and financed. Universal health care is a concept that

Part of the reason that capitalism provides greater choice for the consumer is that there is fervent competition and therefore choice. There is impetus for the market to provide products and services that the consumer wants, that are of such quality that they are coveted. Thus, the market regulates itself -- if products and services are subpar, they go out of business. Why should this not be the same
