This form of technology in the health care system will aid in rural district areas where the nearest hospital or physicians’ offices is 250 miles out or for elders who are not mobile. Although this may seem great for our health care industry, there are still several concerns with this technique; misuse on the patients part, lack of security sending and receiving information as well as breach of confidentiality.…
One of the biggest questions facing seniors across the country is whether or not they need Medicare supplement insurance (Medigap policies). They compare insurance supplement plans and look at Medicare supplemental rates and try to determine if coverage is right for them. Of course, the need for Medicare insurance supplement depends on the specific person. However, for more and more seniors, standard Medicare plans simply aren't offering enough coverage, so they are turning to Medigap policies.…

The author used Deductive Reasoning in his story. He provided true facts to back up his conclusion. The uncompensated medical costs incurred by uninsured people in the United States totaling more than $56 billion. The cost of this uncompensated care is born by insured individuals in the form of higher health care cost and insurance premiums and by the government. Health care and insurance industry need reform. People are trying to figure out who should pay for the health insurance and whether such insurance should be compulsory. Health care was not just a personal matter. People said it was connected to poverty and other…
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.…

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,…
Hi, Karen! I'm thrilled to hear back from you! You couldn't have written back at a better time. To be honest, I'm a bit queasy about rereading that last message I wrote because of how all over the place it is and my cringeworthy grammar. If I were to reread this message in another five years might be weirded out just the same. I guess at some point you've got to accept your own quirkiness if you haven't already.…
