After reading the article, and I use that term lightly, on socialized medicine, I found myself more than a bit upset with the writer’s analysis of the situation. The article was clearly labeled as an opinion piece, however, I still found the…

that had never participated in a health care program, or never acquired health insurance because of financial hardship (Thompson). Arguably, there is the conservative citizen, and religious members of our society that claim we are creating Socialized Medicine and or interfering with religious freedoms. Equally important, The Affordable Care Act provides access to Medical Insurance to those individuals with the greatest need, at an affordable rate or no fee at all, with securities that the…

It is of the opinion of this writer that while I do see where this type of policy could and maybe should be removed, the real instituting of Death with Dignity policies need to be more established. The reasons are very numerous and vary in application. Depression is often a temporary thing. Many reasons are not the problem of a person living beyond their use but the inability to afford adequate health care. I think that we need to look harder at the issues that surround the persons/people…

basic human right that should be guaranteed to everyone; however, the purpose of the other article is to persuade that socialized medicine is not a right because it is impractical and immoral. 2. These articles do have a bias. While Dr. Ronald Pies believes universal health care is a moral obligation endowed by the government, Dr. Leonard Peikoff believes that socialized medicine is a disaster in practice because it simply does not work. 3. In the journal article, “Universal Health Care: A…

everything from the insurance to distribution of the medical resources. China’s also has a very long and rich history in cultural medicine, some health and some not so healthy. When it comes to the structure and role of the major health systems in China the government is behind both. China is a communist country and over the last eight years has gone more to a socialized health care system where the government is subsidizing the people’s health insurance (Eggleston, 2012).

Almost twenty years ago a seventy something year old grandmother went to the doctor and was informed that her cancer had returned. Her family urged her to seek the recommended treatment no matter the cost. She declined treatment options stating that not only was she tired of fighting, she did not want to leave to her family a legacy of debt that would have been incurred from treatments that had no guarantees. We watched our grandmother slowly die as the cancer eventually metastasized to her…

The question I want to answer is how a job or extracurricular activity has shaped my perspective. Young people are first socialized by family and school and these activities can affect one’s mindset in unique and powerful ways. In my case, I recently became a pharmacy technician. Through this experience I became exposed to the staggering effects and struggles of poverty. One of the biggest culture shocks I received while on the job came in the form of a meeting with a young woman who was unable…

reform can happen it’s just a matter of putting the right things into place. Nationally, cost of healthcare is an enormous problem when it comes to fitting the bill. In the early 1920’s it was recommended group medicine as well as controlled insurance thus giving birth to socialized medicine.
