Rationing

Should Health care be rationed? I firmly believe that health care should be rationed due to the fact that an outrageous amount of money is being spent on health care, because of the people abusing the privilege of having the government assist with their healthcare. Also, people spend a large amount of money on their loved ones who have only about six months of life left, or have a chronic illness. Since the government is spending so much money on healthcare this is creating a rising debt rate…

stomachs. Since 1962, Cubans have been forced to get their food through a rationing system.6 This is due to land seizures after the communist party took control.7 Farmers no longer owned their land and often could no longer grow crops.8 By law, the rationing system gives each household a libreta; this is a book detailing set prices for food items that each household is allowed to purchase.9 It has been estimated that the rationing system only successfully supplies 61 percent of daily caloric…

Between 1914 and 1918, government control over people’s lives increased. Some of the sources support the view that this was because of the need to feed the people, but other sources suggest different reasons. The government enhanced the control over people’s lives, in order to stabilise the country and to put order in a time of war, so that the strengthening of the inner positions of Britain would gain them advantage on focusing on the war. Since the 8th August 1914, with the establishment of…

In article “Age Rationing and the Just Distribution of Health Care: Is There a Duty to Die?”, Margaret Battin argues whether medical care has to be rationed by age or not. Before she starts giving her points about the idea, she mentions a few famous historical figures, such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Plato, Euripides, and Thomas More briefly stating their attitudes towards sick and old people. For example, Nietzsche describes sick people, who still depend upon doctors as, “parasites on society” and…

Canada to increase their support to the war effort. Next, through their small efforts, in their homes and communities, Canadian women helped improve the living conditions of soldiers overseas by cultivating victory gardens, creating care packages and rationing. This caused soldiers to perform better on the battlefield. Furthermore, even though women did not fight on battlefields, they still played a vital role as they helped take care of wounded soldiers, freed men from non-combat roles and…

really enjoyed the interview of Adaline Bloom. Her father came to the United States in order to escape the Russian army draft. Adaline talks about the effects of the Great Depression and World War II on her family. For example, she speaks about gas rationing for her family’s car. In an attempt to save gas for the United States military, limited supplies of gas were sold to the public. Therefore, Adaline’s family did not use the car for almost two years. It was difficult to find steady work…

When there is scarcity of medical resources such as capital, personnel, physical space, and medications, healthcare providers will have no option other than rationing in order to provide care to patients. At the same time, the criteria to allocate scarce resources must be evidenced-based, transparent, and not subject to bias (Shuman et al., 2012). However certain situation may put physicians and other health care…

than 25% designated responsibility for retrieving supplies from the Strategic National Stockpile (Vesely et al., 2014). With an influx of patients, evacuees, and community members, the hospital will lose its ability to manage care and protection if rationing limited resources. Preventative measures must be taken to stop swamping hospitals that have their own rations of supplies and respective duties to their own…
