4. Demographic Development
4.1 Civil Society Organizations
The impact of demographic development and the concept of health coverage rarely coincide. Attributing any changing trends within demographics is crucial in assuring that the execution of any new health care program is successful. With a steady rise in life expectancies, along with a dramatic increase in the number of senior citizens no longer in the workplace and a simultaneous decline in the number of individuals still employed, will profoundly jeopardize the financial viability of social health insurance systems[ ]. Civil society organizations (CSOs) help play a crucial role in representing the views of the low-income groups that would otherwise be dealt an unfair hand or ultimately …show more content…
The meaning of being ‘‘socially sustainable’’ can be associated to the convergence of equality, diversity and democratic acknowledgement with a practical strategic goal, i.e. UHC. Although it is difficult to measure the positive effects that incorporating social sustainability can have on the changes within health reform, studies have shown the negative consequences, both at the individual level and at the community level, that the lack of a socially conscious UHC program can have. In addition to impoverishment, people without health coverage experience a sense of social exclusion, vulnerability, and distrust of public institutions[ ] …show more content…
Such as increasing taxes to provide funding, which can be successful as in the case of Mexico’s Popular Seguro. However, the successful attributes of that model coincide with active public support of over half of the population having enrolled within the first decade the program was enacted. Another financing technique, as in the case of Brazil where decentralization proved to be a fundamental aspect of the UHC program funding, showed prospect in some aspects, such as life expectancy. However, it also ignored that the quality and points of access to these health services excluded and limited rural and low-income populations. Or whereas in the case of the US, where the financial model was aimed at redirecting existing health care budgets towards UHC and decreasing the wages of physicians and health care providers; which showed to be widely unsupported politically and socially. This review of the financial techniques actively aimed at providing UHC for industrialized nations, has yet to truly meet an optimal point that can satisfy all parties with the most minimal
