Universal Health Coverage
Health economics and financing are major areas that require continuous attention and improvement in global health access and quality. As many nations around the globe continue to develop and struggle to ensure the health and well-being of their citizens, other countries flourish. Think about the concept of universal healthcare or a national health plan. Then, answer the following questions:
Do you think that governments should ensure that all residents of their country have access to at least basic medical care? Why or why not?
For the next two questions, be sure to consider the full spectrum of health-related services such as contraceptives, prenatal care, measles vaccines, vaccines for travelers, dental fillings, emergency care from paramedics, surgery to set fractured bones, wheelchairs, medications for depression, medications for hypertension, eyeglasses, radiation therapy for cancer, counseling for anxiety disorders, smoking cessation counseling, dialysis for kidney failure, heart transplants, and long-term care for severe dementia.
Which health-related services do you think should be available to everyone for free (because they are paid for by taxes or mandated to be covered by insurance)?
Which do you think should require an individual to pay out-of-pocket (or purchase supplemental coverage through a private company)?
