Healthcare Crisis
Health insurance has gone up over the past two years as a result of a nationwide increase .insurance companies have the tendency of settling only a percentage of a patient's bill. The truth of the matter is patients are not the only people who suffer due to this crisis the doctors too fall victims as mots of them opt to close down since they are underpaid by the insurance companies as well as being forced to pay the yearly premiums for malpractice .physicians are taken as the ones who are at fault for the ongoing healthcare crisis. This is true to some extent but they are not the bones to blame entirely as there are many parties involved in this issue. First of all when we look at the money involved we can say that this crisis is the fault of insurance companies since they are out there with the aim of making money (Lipthrott, 2004). Secondly lawyers are to blame since there are many lawsuits that are filed on amendments which are costly and these costs trickle down to patients and escalate the insurance costs.

These two programs have certainly been a step forward in advancing healthcare in the U.S. The Medicaid program provides services to the citizens such as inpatient and outpatient hospital services, prenatal care, children vaccines, laboratory and x-ray services. Nurse-midwife services, rural healthcare clinics and so on. This program focusses on those people with low incomes but other factors are considered when determining the eligibility of an individual such as their age, disability status, pregnancy status and citizenship.

Human Resources Healthcare Strategic human resource management: Applications in a healthcare organization It has been said that one of the great ironies of healthcare is that despite the fact it is an industry where the 'human' dimension is so important, the HR department is often one of the most-overlooked aspects of healthcare organizations. "There is arguably no other labor-intensive industry that is so reliant upon a highly skilled, highly educated, high-cost, and high-in-demand workforce

Ethical Concerns in Healthcare Marketing The healthcare environment/setting is characterized by several ethical concerns or challenges, which have tremendous impacts on patients and their families as well as other stakeholders.

When all members of the organization are on the same page, they can work

Healthcare Issues, Systems, And Policies America, once the global leader in the health of its population and among the nations with the highest quality and most readily available healthcare services, has now fallen behind almost twenty other countries, including some that only became industrialized in the last third of the 20th century, and with substantial assistance from the United States. While most other so-called "First-World" nations have already embraced several fundamental
