Bankrupt Health Care: Column: A Case Study
The premises of "Trump immigration policies disrupt health care: Column." is the constant lack of physician shortage that the United States has faced. This is not just a current problem, getting trained physicians to help in poor urban areas has been a problem for decades. Preisedent Trump's new travel ban has blocked thousands of Visa holders from entering the country or causing a delay upon their arrival. Foreign doctors have helped in rural urban areas because they came to the US to recieved other training methods and have taken these new methods to mutiple areas. With this ban, doctors can not recieve further training, only making it more difficult for those in areas that are already disadvantaged to revieve the health care that is needed.

    How American Healthcare Killed My Father Summary

    David Goldhill, author of “How American Healthcare Killed My Father” describes himself as a businessman with no more expertise or connection with the United States healthcare system than any other patient with ordinary encounters. This is until his father entered a non-profit hospital in New York City with pneumonia. The end result of this hospital visit, which is not entirely uncommon for an elderly person, is an unexpected death and a son’s personal exploration of why it happened and what could be done to prevent this incident in the future. According to the Goldhill, his father entered the hospital and acquired sepsis within thirty-six hours of admission. Over the course of the next five weeks, which were spent in the hospital’s intensive care unit, the infections acquired were more than the his father could fight and quickly led to his inexcusable demise.…

    With the role out of ObamaCare and the ability to give healthcare for all, the healthcare community as a whole has seen some major changes. Yes the basic idea of every person having access to the care needed is a beautiful concept but at what cost, due the large influx of patients there has been more attention drawn to the lack of physicians caring for these patients. It is estimated that by 2020 there will be a shortage of approximately 90,000 physicians, which is a growth of nearly 30,000 from 2015 according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ, 2013). Due to this influx of millions of patients in the healthcare system physicians are forced to see as many patients as possible in a day cutting the appointment times down to 10-15 minutes often giving the patients the feeling they are seen in a conveyor belt type of setting. As a result patients are not receiving the care and attention they need and desire and physicians are receiving lower reimbursement rates and are flat out getting burnt out.…

    “Doctors go bat for uninsured” by Richard Kipling

    The article “Doctors go bat for uninsured” by Richard Kipling, talks about practicing family medicine in one the most economically depressed cities in the country, where most of the patients do not have insurance and money. The doctors are finding way to continue providing care for their uninsured patients. This is a big problem in Modesto, California where more than seven million people are uninsured. I agree with him because most of the people who do not have insurance do not go the doctor, there are doctors how tried to help their uninsured patients, and because this problem is growing all around US. This is not just a problem for the uninsured people but also for the doctors.…

    Health Care Coverage: A Case Study

    Health care is always going to be an important issue, especially when much of the population does not have coverage for one reason or another. A series of surveys were conducted in 2010 in Central Texas by the Central Texas Sustainability Project (CTSIP) to find out who had health coverage. They also asked follow up questions to those who do not have health care coverage to get the reasons why and to determine trends in their data.…

    HCA 320 Week 2: Communication In The Workplace

    According the text “[It is especially difficult to ensure that patients are fully informed concerning their medical options when the patients and their caregivers speak different languages. Nearly 25 million adults in the United States do not speak English proficiently (“Demographics,” 2002). Non-English speakers are less satisfied with medical care than are Caucasians or members of ethnic and racial minorities (Weech-Maldonado et al., 2003).At one inner-city hospital, more than one-fourth of Latino parents said language barriers discourage them from using medical facilities (Flores, Abreu, Olivar, & Kastner, 1998). These parents felt that the scarcity of Spanish-speaking physicians led to their children being misdiagnosed or given the wrong medicine. (Box 6.3 describes the experiences of a Spanish-speaking woman in a U.S. hospital.)]”Cultural different impact the communication barrier because of language difference has lead to so many misunderstandings between patient and physician; this can lead to serious problems if the correct diagnoses I not found for the patient. It can lead to non needed medication or treatment causing more harm than treating the health issue at…

    Affordable Health Care Case Study

    In the United States there are nearly 12 million undocumented immigrants that are denied affordable access to healthcare (Rosen, 2012). In 2010 President Barack Obama signed into law The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) with the intention to expand economical healthcare to the millions of uninsured residents across the United States. However, this law excludes undocumented immigrants from receiving health insurance from the Marketplace, Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) (D’Emilia & Suplee, 2012). The exclusion from the Marketplace, Medicaid and CHIP for undocumented immigrants furthers the gap of accessible healthcare as they are ineligible for governmental aid even though the foreign-born population has higher rates of poverty, lower education levels, and lower rates of health care coverage compared to U.S. born residents (Edward,…

    Access and Availability: Two Challenges for Health Care

    Through increasing access the ACA has several challenges; (a) high cost may result in rationing; and (b) shortage of primary care providers (Shi & Singh, 2012). This shortage will have a greater effect on the South and Mountain West where primary care providers compose 57% of all physicians practicing in rural areas, and 81% of physicians in smaller rural counties, as compared with 38% in urban areas (American College of Physicians, 1995) (Shi & Singh, 2012). Currently, access to care and access to primary care providers remains a challenge for many Americans. The ACA does not go into full effect until 2014 (HHS, 2012). America remains the only country that discriminates against patients based on their ability to pay or their legal status (Neuberger, 2008).…

    While it is clear that Trump and his administration can talk the talk, it is becoming increasingly clearer that he cannot walk the walk. Throughout the last year, Trump and his cabinet redundantly labeled the opioid crisis as their “first priority,” and promised to take significant action, but their actions, or lack thereof, reveal that this label is just an an added element of their mask that provides an illusion of dedication. Despite labeling the opioid crisis their “first priority,” the Trump administration only dedicated a fraction of the available resources available to them to stop the crisis. They also put the opioid crisis on the backburner in favor of other political hot topics, ignoring the largest cause of the accidental loss of life in the country. Instead of promoting legislation that would lessen the loss of life from the opioid crisis, Trump’s budget proposal cut funding for Medicaid, an insurance program that provides treatment for people addicted to opioids.…

    Vulnerable Population

    Vulnerable Population

    Vulnerable populations include children, the elderly, the homeless, those with chronic health conditions, economically disadvantaged, the racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, and refugees. Vulnerability may arise from community, individual or larger population challenges. Immigrants have been identified as a vulnerable population, but there is heterogeneity in the degree to which they are vulnerable to inadequate health care. Factors that affect immigrants’ vulnerability, including socioeconomic background; immigration status; limited English proficiency; federal, state, and local policies on access to publicly funded health care; residential location; and stigma and marginalization. Overall, immigrants have lower rates of health insurance, use less health care, and receive lower quality of care than U.S.-born populations; however, there are differences among subgroups. Policy options for addressing immigrants’ vulnerabilities. Limited English proficiency is also likely to affect the quality of care immigrants receive; for instance, immigrants with limited proficiency report lower satisfaction with care and lower understanding of their medical situation. Those who need an interpreter but do not receive one fare the worst, followed by those who receive an interpreter and those who have a language-concordant provider or speak English well enough to communicate with the provider. Immigrants’ vulnerability can also be influenced by whether an immigrant’s U.S. residence is in a traditional or new destination for immigrants. New destinations are less likely than established destinations to have well-developed safety nets, culturally competent providers, and immigrant advocacy or community-based organizations. Latinos in areas with relatively small Latino populations rely more on emergency departments (EDs) for their care than do Latinos in areas with relatively large Latino populations, and physicians in communities with small Latino…
