Put simply, millions of Americans have no plan for the future of their health. Who’s to blame and who’s at risk? These are just a couple of questions being asked by at pbs.org. The focus is to identify those people who are at risk for a health care crisis and come up with a way to provide them with affordable health care. About 45 millions Americans have no health benefit of any kind. Many analysts agree that the main reason is two fold. Affordability and accessibility.
The answer to the healthcare crisis is to make health care accessible and affordable. We live in a free market economy and this is not likely to change any time soon. If we just assume that a socialist system is a better alternative, we must first realize that this system can be cited for its own potential drawbacks. Millions of Americans surely own stocks in these major medical industry players. The corporate ladder to the top of the healthcare fortune is a long one at that.
Many people in the health care industry have not stayed loyal to their original mission. When health insurance became available decades ago in the United stats, it was simply a form of employment benefits. Something designed to provide more security to working class citizens and their families. Today, health insurance has become some sort of commodity. Simply put, stock prices are always going up because, with the rising cost of health care itself, demand for insurance increases and so does the price.
Now that America is spending record levels on health care, they are seeing a backlash of debt making difficult for consumers to buy other products and commodities with a much more ethical approach to investing. Health care companies should be given incentives for their abilities to eradicate problems in the health industry. Instead of allowing them to make money on the stock markets, one take on the solution is that you make all health care companies into publicly held companies that receive most of their accolades and compensation from the awards that they win, not the profits that they boast on private golf courses and yachts amongst industry movers and shakers.
