Medical Insurance Narrative
In the past, my family and I were having a hard time to look for medical insurance, especially my dad. My dad's work has been stopped offering medical insurance, so he had to find and apply for a new one. Medical insurance is very expensive, so it was very hard for my dad to pay it, since he has other bills to take care of. Also, we were struggling to find medical insurance because we were in low income. Then, one of my dad's coworker suggested a medical insurance that offers low insurance. He used the community resource that his friend recommended, which is Covered California and used it.

    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.…

    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.

    For many years as Americans in our working society, we all hope to one day earn and save up enough money till we can reach our ultimate goal: retirement. Once we retire we assume the expression of “smooth sailing from here on out.” We assume that we can count on not only the money we have saved up, and a fraction of our previous regular governmental salaries, for those who are retired eligible military, as a stable monetary income. If we find ourselves in need of medical assistance, we look to Medicare and Medicaid. Unfortunately, for those of us who haven’t quite reached our golden age, we may not all be entitled to reap tomorrow, some of the benefits of today.…

    As many U.S. residents already know, being prepared for the unexpected is a trait attributed to success, especially when it comes to our family’s health. One typical suggestion when it comes to “making ends meet” in household matters is saving enough money in a family safety net to ensure solvency and to mitigate the high cost of paying for routine medical care or unexpected health issues. However, that is impossible for most people due to the huge costs of current medical coverage. A very limited percentage of the population are able to pay the total cost out of pocket when a medical emergency occurs. Simply obtaining a health insurance plan, either thru employment or by procuring private medical…

    President Obama 's plan to insure healthcare for all marks a positive step for the well – being of our country 's citizens. Still, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) also known as ObamaCare has been one of the most controversial topics of our time. In order to understand why this is such a controversial topic we must understand exactly what this act means to the people. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) states that with limited exceptions, every resident of the United States must have health insurance that must meets certain basic requirements. Beginning in 2014, individuals who do not acquire health insurance will be subject to a fine. This fine will rise over time, reaching $895 per person or 2.5 percent of income, whichever is greater, by 2018. Beginning in 2014, each state is to establish an Affordable Insurance Exchange. Separate exchanges are to be established for individuals and small businesses with fewer than 50 employees. The intention is that private insurance companies will compete by offering policies on the exchanges to individuals and small businesses. Low – income individuals and small businesses with 25 employees or less will be eligible for tax credit to offset the cost of buying health insurance. For the employers, beginning in 2014, every firm with more than 200 employees must offer health insurance to its employees and must automatically enroll them in the plan. Firms with more than 50 employees must offer health insurance or pay of $3,000 to the federal government for every employee who receives a tax credit from the government for obtaining health insurance through their state 's health exchange. The government plans to regulate insurance companies by requiring all insurance to participate in a high – risk pool that will insure individuals with pre – existing medical conditions and were unable to get insured.…
