Reflection Paper #2 (Adams Place) When I found out Adams place were coming to speak I thought they was just going to talk about long-term care just like every other nursing home. The most shocking was to learn that they offer other health services as well like independent living, assisted living, and rehab. Both of the speakers provided some good information about being Health Administrator in the nursing home settings. Also, describing their policy on what the Health Administrators have to go through for their facility. It was interesting for them to require them to go through every job category before even being over a building. Another thing I did not know was that they start learning under another Health Administrator for a year then the next year they go right into being over their own building at Adams Place.

The politics in healthcare is getting more concerning each year for insurance Medicaid and Medicare. One of them mentioned in some of the services like independent living they do not accept Medicare from their residents. At first, when they said that I was like so they turn the patients away when their insurance is Medicare. Until they continued on to say they will refer the patients to other nursing home facilities if that was their case. Out of all the services they mentioned the most interesting was that they offer rehab services for the senior community. I like how the patients can come straight from the hospital to their rehab building like any other rehab place. One thing I think would be a good idea is trying to have younger patients as well as older. This would just expand their business even more and open up more opportunities for more money to come in. I still think it is just amazing how they even have the component of rehab to their

    Many people argue that the US Medicare system has the appropriate equity for the citizens. Some argue that it would be better if the US government regulates its subsidies between rich and poor citizens; because when a person pays the full cost of the benefits he receives, there will be no redistribution occurs. However, when a person pays less than the full costs of his benefits, he receives a subsidy and other population groups must bear the financial burden of that subsidy. Base on this point, the US Medicare system seems to be less fair for the US citizens. Therefore, in this paper I will argue that there are more for the US government to do on the US Medicare system, particularly make the premiums in Medicare system income related.…

    Forgotten about by the Federal Government for a while now, is long-term care facilities. Even though the government enforced Medicare, certain restrictions still reside on Medicare that do not allow most people to use these types of resources to pay for their living in a long-term care facility. Because Medicare offers to individuals 65 years and older, long-term care services covered by Medicare for the health protection of persons age 65 and older are a necessity. Since Medicaid covers long-term care services for very low-income individuals, Medicare should also provide coverage for long-term care facilities for the older persons of age 65 and older. While not suggesting that the Federal government should just loan millions of dollars for…

    In the U.S., 50 million people depend on the Medicare program for their health needs, and the taxpayers bear the burden of $600 billion per year to fund the program. Therefore, the program’s administration is compelled to curtail Medicare related fraud, abuse and wastage of resources that add up to about $58 billion annually – or approximately 10 percent of the budget. For the last two decades, Medicare fraud has infested the program like an incurable cancer with over $1 trillion compromised.
