Decent Essays
Hi there Allendale and Allena! I believe that debating global healthcare rankings are of not much use as their acceptability and usefulness is debatable. Most healthcare systems in world have different roadmaps to goal achievement and relatively different methods and parameters of measuring effectiveness and Efficiency of health care systems which must be contextually analysed. Also the fact that Health performance of a countries health care system also relies upon non-health care determinants like environment, pollution, diverse genetic makeup of populace, Socio-economic conditions and sometimes even political conditions make them too diverse to compare. Many believe that the WHO’s report MEASURING OVERALL HEALTH SYSTEM PERFORMANCE FOR 191

    There are many ethical and political issues surrounding the finance of medical care in the United States and Canada.

In 1987, Rosalyn Schwartz, a recently divorced American, lost the medical coverage previously provided through her husband’s job. Due to the fact that she had a pre-existing ulcer condition, insurance companies only offered plans that excluded treatment for ulcers. Universal medical coverage supplies basic medical care for all citizens.…

    According to the World Health Organization (WHO), universal health care is a service in which every citizen no matter their financial hardships and demographics can receive (Pros and Cons, 2017). I believe that everyone in the US should have healthcare whether their financial status, citizen status, age, gender, race, or living situation is jeopardized. A lot of health care plans in the United States are based on working status, but sometimes jobs are not guaranteed. In the US insurance is employer based so if a person loses their job they also lose their insurance (Pilar, 2017). Other countries around the world such as Great Britain, Japan, and Germany are able to sustain universal healthcare.…

    Globalization’s impact on public health has been both positive and negative at a seemingly equal rate. The “disappearing” of boarders has lead to the sharing of ideas, goods, resources, technology, etc., that have been able to increase the quality of life and ability to combat sickness and disease for the populations of developed countries. Meanwhile non-developed countries have had an increasingly harder time gaining access to these innovations despite the availability of remedies for ailments their members face. This is disparity is especially troubling considering the global spread of disease and other public health issues. The ease of international travel and trade allows for diseases such as AIDS, SARS, and recently Ebola to penetrate…

    Universal healthcare could benefit the United States in several different ways since the affordable care act is still a financial burden to some of the American people. The need for it is growing substantially in the United States due to how many people are still uninsured. Universal healthcare is beneficial because it provides everyone coverage without financial hardship; promotes preventive care, which would contribute to less costly treatments; and improves quality of healthcare, leading to fewer deaths per year. Through universal healthcare everyone will receive coverage without a financial hardship.…
