Changes in Healthcare in the United States
This article illustrates how universal healthcare may lead to a healthy population in America and assist in mitigating an unhealthy nation's economic costs for a long time. Specifically (Zieff et al. 2020), there exist significant disparities in the United States where citizens within the low socio-economic category of the population are exposed to low or decreased quality healthcare access and increased exposure to chronic non-communicable conditions like type II diabetes and obesity among poor health determinants (Zieff et al. 2020). According to the article, the implementation of universal healthcare though would be challenging and complicated; changing from a market-based system to a universal system is vital (Galvani et al. 2020).

The Affordable Care Act's inclusive principles must not be overthrown by the current political activities in the United States. Again, this does not imply that providing everyone with access to healthcare would be a panacea; socio-economic determinants of health must also be considered. All Americans must have access to universal healthcare, but resolving these factors will take time. We can only achieve genuine public health on an economically viable road via universal and inclusive healthcare (Zieff et al., 2020). To conclude, this article has provided an extensive illustration of the importance of a shift to universal healthcare other than the current market-based…

United States' Involvement in the First World War America's Involvement in the First World War The president is well aware that Americans often face the temptation to disengage from the rest of the world, especially when the issue at hand has to do with military involvement.
