Windshield Survey Case Study

Decent Essays
While working on my windshield survey for Park City, UT there were no groups of people that really had stood out to me as vulnerable or that were possibly underserved in related to their health care needs. However, when thinking back for this discussion questions, Park City is filed with small boutiques, ski shops, equipment rental shop and local restaurant, most has a small number of employees. Small business with fewer than 50 employees does not need to offer health care insurance, which would cause these people to find the health care insure elsewhere, either through a spouse, parent, or government insurance. More so, from my own experience with government health care, it may leave these employees with a medical insurance with high deductibles

Today, there are 28.4 million people in the United States who are under the age of 65 that are uninsured (Health Insurance Coverage). Workers who can not afford health care live day by day making enough money to support their family and can not afford a day…

This resulted in the allocated $11 billion towards improving the existing community health centers and creating new center in the underserved regions (Arora et al., 2011).

Why do we live in a society that recognizes success based off of the car you drive, the career path you chose or in this case the type of medical insurance you carry.…
