Comparison of U.S. healthcare system with a National Health Programs and the difference explained by a Functionalist and Conflict theorist
Introduction:
United States is the largest and most diverse society on the globe. They spend almost 2 trillion dollars every year on health care, which is one in every seven dollars in the economy. U.S is one of the very few nations where all its citizens do not have medical coverage. Although it spends heavily on percapita on health care, and it has the most advanced medical technology system in the world, still it is not the healthiest nation on earth. The system performs so poorly that it leaves 50 million without health coverage and millions more inadequately covered (Garson, 2010). For majority of the Americans, health insurance is mostly tied to their job or they avail through government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. In U.S most often the major health care problem faced is that the health care professionals know how to provide best medical care and attention to the patients but often they are not able to do so because the medical system gets in their way. From where the US economy is standing, their challenge is twofold: They must find a suitable way to cover all their people and secondly they must determine a way to get the best return from US$2 Trillion spend on health system.
The U.S Physicians then proposed a fundamental change in U.S healthcare system. The creation of a comprehensive National Health Insurance Program would be a diversified and improved version of healthcare system. It would cover every citizen for all necessary medical attention.
