Health Care in the Usa

I do believe that the health care system in the United States is faulty and happens to be a huge issue not only in the sense of being affordable, but also in terms of being unacceptably disorganized. The most notable problem with health care is the some 50 million people without health insurance as well as the high number of preventable deaths, supposedly estimated to reach 101,000 people per year, and all simply because of the way that the U.S. health care system was changed and how it is organized. This crisis continues despite all available resources provided to protect our right to health care. Since the big changes in health care, specifically speaking on Obama Care alone, many people with great insurances and low fees were forced to change or get rid of their health care simply because certain points didn’t match up exactly to what Obama Care required. Furthermore, if that wasn’t frustrating enough for Americans, those who decided to forgo insurance altogether were also fined with increasing fees for each passing year without it.

According to an article regarding Obama health care, it discusses the quick rising health care costs and how over the past decades have encouraged the request of practices to medicine with goals of improving not only the efficiency or the restraining expenses, but also increasing overall quality as well. On Average health insurance costs and premiums for individual and family coverage, have increased approximately 120% from 1999 to 2008. Health insurance spending in the U.S. is stated to surpass 4 times the national defense debt. However, it seems that Obama Care could be doing more harm then good for Americans. Overall, I do believe that the article provides great credibility. I do feel that the authors as well as their information were

reliable, whether or not I agree with the overall message. Upon researching each author, I found that Laxmaiah Manchikanti is an Indian American physician and Anesthesiologist specializing in interventional pain management. He is also a professor, philanthropist, as well as an author. As far as Dr. Joshua Hirsch, I found that he is a radiologist in Boston, Massachusetts and is affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital. He received his medical degree from Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and has been in practice for 24 years. He is one of 159 doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital who specializes in Radiology.

In my second article of choice, I found it to be interesting in that it speaks on a topic that isn’t necessarily common when discussing health care, at least not above the frequently unpopular Obama health care reform. According to the 2010 Institute of Medicine or also known as the (IOM) report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, offers a bold new vision for a different kind of health care system here in the United States in regards to nurses. The report redefines
