The care planning meeting revolved around an 11 year old named, Katy, who was/is subject to care order. The rules around contact with Katy had been made very explicit to Katy’s mother and her Aunt, at the time of the care order being made. However upon receiving the case I learned that Katy had been having unsupervised contact with both her mother and her Aunt, as a result of a lack of adherence to the care order by Katy’s foster carers. As a result Katy had been moved from her previous foster carers to new residential home. Unfortunately Katy’s move from her foster carers to her new residential home was not perfect and may have been a cause for anxiety for Katy due to the uncertainty of her…

There are many key factors to consider when juxtaposing the ideas of a national Medicaid program and 56 different state and territorial programs. These include the role of government, the effectiveness in meeting local needs and financial obligations, flexibility in seeking innovative resolutions, the impacts on healthcare providers and access to care, the improvements in service quality, and the ability to overcome resistance to change, among many others. The first consideration is the role of the government in the distribution of care. The federal and state governments have a shared responsibility to ensure that people are provided with appropriate healthcare services and insured against catastrophic incidents.…

Does Mr. Smith fit the typical profile for an uninsured person in the United States? After evaluating the case study, I concluded Mr. Smith fits the typical profile for an uninsured person in the United States. Many uninsured individuals are uninsured for several reasons such as their employer do no offer insurance, insurance may seem unaffordable, financial difficulties, individuals appear healthy and do not feel they need insurance, much like John’s case. One challenge for John included insurance was not offered through his employer, since he was only a part-time employee, another factor to consider is John’s age, since he is young he was probably more reluctant to obtaining insurance coverage.…
Volunteering at a free clinic in Lansing has exposed me to many patients who have serious and costly chronic conditions and are unable to afford insurance and have either no insurance or are under insured. I recall one specific incident where a patient came in for his life saving heart medication and his application was going to expire soon. We worked with the patient to create a plan to renew his application and find a way to expedite the processing. Uninsured patients have to jump through more hoops to get medication, if it is even available. If they have no way to pay for the medication then they have to decide what is more important.…
In 2015 the CPS ASEC census found that 9.1% of Americans were living uninsured for an entire year. To put that in perspective, 9.1% is equal to about 29 million citizens with no coverage. Before government ran healthcare about 48.6 million Americans were uninsured. Therefore, considering these statistics and more, I think the government should provide free healthcare for all citizens with a goal of having 0 Americans uninsured. Americans now live in debt due to overpriced insurance rates and required medical care treatments because of this they stress about getting sick.…
