The country that I have chosen to compare to the US healthcare system, from the provided list, is the healthcare system of the country of Switzerland.
A2. Access
Healthcare in the United States is known for having a non-standard format, typically because of different states and policies, while the healthcare in Switzerland is renowned for its uniformity and mandated universal coverage. The Switzerland healthcare system is customer-driven and offers universal coverage no matter the demographic differences of its customer base. Unlike

Figuring out how Americans should receive healthcare has always been a controversial debate within Congress and amongst the people. The United States is one of the few developed nations that does not have a universal healthcare system and also spends more of its GDP on healthcare than any other OECD country. Rather than having a single payer national health insurance system, majority of U.S healthcare is funded and provided by private sector businesses. Even though both sides of the aisle believe reform is necessary, Liberals and Conservatives

right in our Constitution. I think that everyone should pay for their own healthcare and not have the government just provide you health care because health care here in the United States has better quality than other countries. The US 5-year survival rate for all cancers is 64.6%, compared to 51.6% in Europe. The United States also has a higher 5-year survival rate than Canada. I also think that if health care was ever a right like in Canada, the doctors salary would go down. In Britain and Canada, where there is a universal right to health care, physicians have incomes 30% lower than US doctors. Doctors work hard and study for years to become a doctor and I think it's unfair for doctors to get

struggle to pay. With the rising of healthcare premiums, it has become hard for a lot of people to keep up. Insurance premiums are not only raising but the cost of medication have also gone up. Many people are forced to pay the high cost for medications needed today. In today’s world what we need is our nation to cover all citizen under one plan.
Let’s use what I think will be beneficial Universal health care, also known as being social health protection. Having universal health care had the possibility to cover millions of Americans who live without any coverage to provide financial protection.

Substantial research regarding the proposed alternatives to our current system, paired with study of other nations’ solutions to this crisis, overwhelmingly proves that there is a logical solution to this issue. A single-payer system is a feasible and preferable alternative to our current privatized structure; the evidence is irrefutable.

, not everyone in the US is able to obtain coverage and in the US a large portion of the population is without insurance. The US remains the only industrialized nation in the world that does not offer health care to its citizens. This is one of the most controversial topics when it comes to healthcare coverage. The article argues that universal healthcare would be a "life saver" for many people who are uninsured. Since uninsured individuals are at increased risk for death, the US needs to offer a universal insurance. But, as the article states it is not that easy and the topic of universal healthcare remains one of the United State's biggest political battles.

Germany's healthcare system is universal care which requires all citizens to have health insurance. It is statutory health insurance that is dependent on income. The more you make in Germany the more you pay for your insurance each month. The health insurance premium is the same across all statutory insurers: 14.6% of your gross income, but only up to a certain income level (InformedHealth.org, 2016). The employer and insured employee share the costs equally, paying 7.3% each (InformedHealth.org, 2016).

Universal health coverage is something that has been desired and aspired for many years in the United States, especially recently with President Donald Trump coming into office and eliminating Obama Care. In order to get closer to universal healthcare, policy makers and society as a whole need to apple and intersectional lens in hopes of eliminating disparities and inequalities for marginalized groups and people who intersect with multiple social identities. This goes beyond just intersectional feminism.

Medicare offers different types of coverage, and retirees choose one based on their specific healthcare needs. Persons who retire before age 65, when Medicare eligibility begins, need to obtain alternate options, like COBRA, or purchase private insurance to cover medical, hospitalization, and prescription drug costs.

is something that is 100% a necessity. Millions of Americans go without health coverage because they are unable to afford it or because they are denied coverage from insurers. Under the Affordable Care Act this will no longer be an issue. For children under the age of 19 they are already receiving these benefits, because the new protection started on September 23, 2010. For Adults 19 and over this will go into effect on January 1, 2014. “Universal health care is defined as a system that will provide a basic level of healthcare to all people.”(Hunter,2010) Under Universal Health Care all citizens will have access to family physician services, preventative care services, hospitalizations and

The Government, not individuals, should be responsible for healthcare and Welfare Provision. Discuss. (20 marks)
The question of who is responsible for healthcare and welfare provision is a complex one and there is a range of theories and approaches. Some believe that the government should be responsible - and so, call for a collectivist approach. Such advocates would argue that it is the responsibility of the government to concern itself and intervene when it comes to matters of Welfare. Others would argue on behalf of Individualist approaches which focus on the importance of self-help, self sufficiency and individual responsibility. In more recent times, there has been an uprise advocates

The influence of exemplifying such an approach of “many-hands” within Singapore’s social environment, stems largely from post-war ethos of capitalism over social imperatives. As such, a culture of solidarity was born where universal responsibility is held within the individual, family and community. Till today, the cornerstones of social welfare still centers upon education, housing, employment and healthcare (Haskins, 2011). However, critics have claimed that the continuation of such a workfare regime will not be holistic in addressing the needs of a changing Singapore. It has to be realized

Pain: A Concept Analysis
Perdue University Northwest
Pain is a very actual and universal topic. Even though it so actual it is still not understood by many. It is not just a feeling felt by someone who got hurt, but it is a medical condition as well. Now, this condition became so worrying that it is started to be seen as the fifth vital sign. In 1995, the American Pain Society (APS) set out guidelines delineating that a first step in improving the treatment of pain is assessment and recording of patients' reports of pain.
