Universal healthcare Proposal

Institution

            In essence, innovation of Universal health care has been a contentious issue to whether it has some benefits or not. Universal health care refers to health care policies built around universal coverage for citizens with the combine mechanisms of service provision and health financing. In facts, Universal health care policies vary according to the government involved in initiating health care and insurance. For the past years, problems have emerged concerning innovation of Universal health care that, it imposes duties on citizens mostly by skilled professionals. The inconsequential of universal health care is critical in that, to some extent lowers quality and rationing imposing a risk of its innovation. The problem is getting worse in many countries such as United State who may not cater for its residents in that, there are many migrants. The problem here is getting services for everyone. While according to my interview with the most skilled professionals I evaluated that, despite many governments providing universal health care, there is a core challenge of producing such cost produced in taxes. Under this context, the skilled professionals comprehended that, despite many governments mandating universal-health policies the cost is not under government but, from the skilled professionals who are infringed in taxes. In this context, this proposal seeks to present a proposal for universal health care innovation with various problems that emerge from having free health care services. In examining this, I will highlight effective measures that can be used to enhance that universal health care innovation is fully enhanced.

The idea of skilled professionals producing the cost for universal health care systems is critical. According to Mcclosky (1964), the government initiative of introducing universal health care is paramount important but, the problem emerge on paying for the cost. On this basis, many skilled professionals end up paying for the cost through been infringed in taxes. In facts, the health care cost is spiraling out in many countries. Studies outline that, many people spend a lot of money on health as compared to housing and food (Kaluzny, Glasser, Gentry & Syprague, 1970). Government initiative of paying for the free health services is less, which implies that, the service is not free in that, citizens pay for it in higher taxes. There would be no good to initiate free services, and at the end it overburdens the skilled professionals who end up paying the cost via taxes. At a glance, many people would think it’s a free service, and no wonder many countries mandate innovation of free health care services but; it is not free service. Experts outline that, there is a likelihood that, when health care services are free there is a likelihood of patients not catering their drug costs along with doctor visits (Alter, Naylor, Austin & Tu, 1999). In reality, it would be nice to cater for medical services for free but, what about the expense. For instance, what if a patient is suffering from a minor cold, pain, ache and trouble sleeping? The result is that, it would encourage many to visit hospitals even when the condition is minor. In reality, there are many problems that many would not go to doctors to solve if the cost would be paid for it; but if it is at no cost, why not go? The fact is; many doctors would spend much time on a non-critical issue to the extent; patients that have severe condition would be forced to wait. With facts, for those problems, it would be better if the service is not free to hold each person accountable to the cost of the disease.

According to Kaluzny, Glasser, Gentry and Syprague (1970), when governments mandate free health care, it would reduce doctor flexibility leading to poor patient care. In reality, when State control things, rules will be permitted to when doctors should perform expensive tests as well as, when drugs should be given. Regardless the need for innovating free health care services, it would be imply that, the healthy people that fundamentally regard taking care of themselves would be overburdened over paying for the people that smoke and the obese just to name a few. Having free services burden healthy people to pay taxes over people that have made a choice to live an unhealthy lifestyle. Whether health cost is paid for privately or publicly, the cost is expensive increasing rapidly annually. That means that, the rising cost of drug contributes to skyrocketing making politicians increase the cost of living. Consequently, free medical servicers curtail the country to progress in paying for health costs instead of using the resources to ensure country progress.

With the innovation of free health care services, patients would be subjected to wait long. In this consideration, stories have emerged in Canada and Britain of patients being forced to wait for months for limited human resources and finances in choosing the treatment that should come first in addition, who should wait. In the process, many patients die waiting for medication. When trying to imagine the amount each skilled professional pay for tax to pay for the free health services is critical. According to Jost (2004), it becomes a challenge mostly in countries that have many migrants such as United States, United Kingdom and Germany among others. With these facts, the presumptions of implementing free health care services are critical.

With these facts, to evaluate the side effects of innovating universal health care, I anticipated the effects with Mountain View Hospital patients on both doctors and patients present that day. In evaluating this, I gathered information through interview schedule along with questionnaires. The questions included how active universal health care it is, the benefits that emerge from free medical service, effective measures to enhance better innovation of free health services and the negative effects that emerge from Universal healthcare. After the evaluation, findings indicated that, many states have recognized the need for having free services. From their findings, Singapore, Germany and Netherlands are countries that have mandated health care coverage. Nevertheless, United State does not afford such costs (Alter, Naylor, Austin & Tu, 1999). From their argument, United State seems to recognize the side effects that emerge from having free medical services. Despite the country having a good economy, it seems to have many migrants, and meeting such cost burdened the skilled professionals. Under this context, despite patients having benefits to go for treatment at no cost; there are disadvantages of innovating free health care. In my interview with doctors, many felt overburdened by paying costs via taxes to pay for health services that would paid by patients. Under this context, doctors outline having a challenge in treating minor diseases such sleeping problems, flue and anxiety, which if patients were required to pay for the cost would think otherwise. Doctors raise a concern of patients with critical conditions been required to wait for long waiting for treatment. Patients on the other hand, raised a concern of having to wait for long for treatment, which if there were free health services minor conditions would be minimized. In this regard, both doctors and patients regarded that, for the innovation of free health services to be effective, there is a need for coming up with measures that would enhance its benefits.

First, the cost would be produced from taxes on goods that do not enhance health in order to punish those that have made a choice to live an unhealthy lifestyle. These include high fat food, cigarettes and alcohol. Pretty soon, many that regard living unhealthy lifestyle would be discouraged from such habits, and eventually encouraging many to live a healthy life. Under this context, increasing taxes on unhealthy products would reduces medical cases of unhealthy lifestyle through holding one accountable to his or her eating habits. Secondly, Universal health care would work effectively if; patients are required to pay a certain percentage especially on critical cases. Additionally, minor cases such as flue and sleeping problem among others should be eliminated under universal health care in order to ban those that visit hospitals for minor conditions. That could reduce the cost required to meet medical bills. If a country has to pay for health services, the government should come up with different measures to pay for the cost. These would be taxing reasonable, looking for sponsors and encouraging some people who are well-financially to pay for their bills.

According to Watanakunakorn and Gemmel (1993), Universal health care could be in service by embracing the solutions discussed in this paper. It is holding each person accountable for eating habits through heavy taxing on products that result to unhealthy lifestyle, taxing reasonably not to burden the skilled professionals, looking for sponsors who might be willing to support some medical funds and governments coming up with measures that discourage patients with minor problems to visit the hospital under free health care. By so doing, each person would be accountable over his life. This is a wise way of enhancing that health care services are given in wisdom and in understanding. With this regard, this proposal has presented various problems that emerge from having free health care services in addition, highlighting effective measures that can enhance better universal health care innovation.
