... 2. Compare access between the two healthcare systems for children, people who are unemployed, and for people who are retired. Great Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) covers everyone children, unemployed and retired. There is no payment required. Taxes are higher in Great Britain to cover the medical costs. (Palfreman & Reid, 2008) In America programs such as Medicaid and Medicare exist for assistance to those that do not have healthcare insurance or as a secondary. Medicaid is funded federally and state wide for payment of care medically. This aid is offered to the aging adults, destitute, those with disabilities, and particular family groups with dependents meeting specified wage criteria. (Cherry & Jacob, 2014) Medicare is coverage made for those 65 (retirement age) or older, specific persons with disability. Must qualify for either social security benefits or retired from the railroad. There are two plans or parts to Medicaid. (A) will provide coverage during the hospital stay. (B) obligates the covered person to pay a percentage, this plan provides coverage for service from doctors along with medication benefits. (Cherry & Jacob, 2014) 2a. Discuss coverage for medications in the two healthcare systems. American medication coverage.

The cost is anywhere from double to over half from what other countries pay. Cancer and...

...in America The Constitution of the United States of America is the overall supreme law for the US Government. The constitution was adopted on September 17th, 1787 by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and is considered the framework for our government and its relationship between the states and its people (Wikipedia). The Constitution is called the “Sheet Anchor” or “Lighthouse” and ensures Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness and also serves to protect property rights as well (Beard C. A., The Living Constitution, 1936). With that being said, how did the framing of this document shape the working life in America? Working life in America was shaped by the framing of this document by shifting how work is defined in the colonies based upon need the need for workers to establish more rights and further independence. Since the Constitution was framed and certain amendments were added there have been many disagreements to the actual meaning of the document. There was a widespread perception in the 20th century that the Constitution was framed to represent American Society. That our Founding Fathers acted out of idealism and the laws were established with the best interest of the colonies in mind. It wasn’t until 1913 when Economist, Charles Beard proposed a different scenario. Beard suggested that the Constitution was and economic document that was established for the reorganization of the claim of properties; that it was framed to benefit the...

...The Illegal American Dream Who are the 11.4 million immigrants living in the United States illegally? There are many immigrants who stand to benefit from President Obama’s recent executive actions, which defer deportation for up to 5.2 million illegal immigrants and grant them work permits. A population of immigrants who have already qualified for protection under Obama’s 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. DACA allows certain people who came to the United States illegally as children to earn a reprieve from deportation for two years, subject to renewal. They are also eligible for work authorization. Obama’s recent executive actions, announced in November, target two groups: People who qualify for an expansion of the DACA program, and illegal immigrant parents of U.S. citizens who have been in the country more than five years with no criminal record. (Siegel) With President Obama skirting the constitution with his executive orders, there will be many more illegal immigrants in this country getting benefits which are for American citizens. There are some hard working illegal immigrants in America illegally, but how many are making a difference in their American communities. Veronica Valdez, the author of Walking Across the Stage, wrote, “For my mother, the concept of working has always been something you have to do, as opposed to an opportunity to make a difference in the world or to find fulfillment.” (231). Many illegal immigrants send their money...

...Why can’t we end Poverty in America? Jake Hauser English 102 12/6/13 Today in the United States, more than 46 million Americans are living in poverty. The word poverty is defined as; the state of one who lacks a usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions. In other words, poverty is essentially the state of being poor. In a broad perspective, there are two types of poverty. There is relative poverty which refers to people who live in poor accommodations, cannot afford certain necessities, and struggle to make ends meet. In most cases for theses people, there is welfare available to help them so it would be rare for them to go without somewhere to live or to go starving. The other kind of poverty is known as absolute poverty. This is the kind of poverty that you would see in third world countries. These people have no food, no water and no help and it usually leads to death. Believe it or not, poverty is a worldwide problem that is taking place in every nation on the globe. In fact, half of the people in the world today are living on less than $2.50 per day. Statistically, Haiti is the most poverty stricken country in the world, with 77% of it’s population living below the poverty line. It also has a 40% unemployment rate, and many poverty-stricken people live on less than $1 a day. The United States may not be the most poverty stricken country in the world, but that doesn’t mean that there still isn’t a big problem in our...

...Paola Brown English 102 10 March 2008 Puerto Rico walks away from commonwealth. I will not pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. This must be the words of thousands of Puerto Ricans living in the island today wishing that their small island would once and for all become free from the colonization of the United States. Puerto Rico has been living under U.S. domination for the past 92 years and it’s considered the last nation in Latin America that is still living in colonization. Puerto Ricans want to be free and should be allowed to be free; to have the opportunity to vote for the president who sends its young people to war, to have their own currency, to fly one flag in all their schools and finally to feel pride in being an independent nation and not labeled with terms like “territory” and “commonwealth”. Bigger and more powerful nations that inhabit smaller nations for various benefits should never deny a nation’s culture and roots, instead in these modern times people should be allowed to govern themselves and be independent nations. In the midst of the struggle over status (U.S commonwealth or Independency) only one clear realization can come of this, Puerto Rico ought to be independent and refuse commonwealth to the United States of America. One of the many benefits citizens from all democratic countries enjoy is the ability to choose their chief in command. As a commonwealth under the United States, Puerto Rican...

...Huyen Tran Prof. Boyd English 100 4/21/2014 Inequality in America Time has brought about many changes in America since the 1960’s to the present. Many of them have been positive, like advances in technology in regards to the health care system, but some have created a growing concern in the eyes of many citizens. People like Robert Reich have noticed a growing sense of inequality in America and are worried it will only increase over time. Reich in his essay Why the Rich are Getting Richer and the Poor, Poorer he talks about the problems we are facing in the 21st century and what must be done to prevent them from spiraling out of control. The economy pre-1960 in America use to be a solid unit, what happened to one happened to all but this is simply not true anymore. “We are now in different boats, one sinking rapidly, one sinking more slowly, and the third steadily rising” (Jacobus 516). The worst hit has befallen the routine producers who now have to compete in a world economy where massive amount of people are competing for cheap labor. Reich claims the increase in outsourcing being done by American companies since the late 1970’s is a major factor. A company that shows this exact change in the seventies in AT&T, which prior to 1970’s relied on “routine producers in Shreveport, Louisiana, to assemble standard telephones. It then discovered that routine producers in Singapore would perform the same tasks at a far lower cost” (Jacobus 517). Then in 1989, AT&T...

...It’s Not Worth The Journey The United states are known to have a large population of illegal immigrants. Immigrants seeking for the “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” () which America has however their nation doesn't. Immigrants are willing to leave their country, risk their life, and dignity to become part of America, but is it worth it? These immigrants never get to see their family, are constantly being taken advantage of and will never be seen as part of American no matter how hard they work these are some reasons why the journey to America is not worth it. Furthermore the journey to America is not worth it, despite any potential benefits since Immigrants desert their families to go to America with the broken guarantee that they will return. In the book Enrique's journey, Sonia Nazario uncovers the account of a single parent named Lourdes that left her children Enrique and...

...Middle Class America is Feeling the Pressures of Economic Distress Larry S. Jordan Excelsior College Do you remember a time when gasoline was under $2.00 per gallon? I do and it was 2008 when it last occurred. Middle Class America is feeling the pressure of the recession. Economic growth has slowed down over the last decade and is improving only slightly in the last four years. In a time when the commodity prices are rising, and the cost of living is increasing, the one constant that stays the same is that the middle class income is not rising as fast as inflation. Middle Class America is diminishing with the rising costs of healthcare, stagnant wages vs. inflation, and the rise of unemployment. The rising costs of healthcare have escalated over the last 10 years significantly. Davidson (2014) reported that the fourth quarter last year was the fastest pace in health care spending in the last 10 years. The total spending on healthcare is expected to reach over 4 trillion dollars by the year 2021, according to Aetna Insurance. The reason this effects the middle class is that employers are requiring the employee to share in a larger portion of the insurance premiums, this is a change that is becoming popular with most companies. Collins (2008) reported that the proportion of adults spending 10% or more on their healthcare have more than doubled between 2001 and 2007, from 18 percent to 36 percent. One of the core beliefs is that the middle class income is not keeping up with...

...The United States of America is made up of several different races, religions, and ethnicities, as well as men and women of different ages, and sexual orientations. This makes the United States one of the most diverse nations on earth. It is estimated between the years 2010 to 2050 minorities will increase from 36% to 54% of the population. (Schaefer, p. 4, 2012)(p.4). Immigration is the main reason for this estimate. It is estimated that in 2050, 67 million people will be immigrants and another 47 million people will be the children of immigrants. (The "Pew Research Center") (2012). While there are benefits of such a diverse nation, the United States still faces many challenges, because of prejudice and discrimination. With the rising population of immigrants, the population of people living in poverty will also rise. With the rise of people living in poverty, there will also be a rise in crime. The reason for this is, people who live in poverty have less access to high paying jobs are more likely to participate in illegal activities, such as dealing drugs to make money. Minorities and immigrants are statistically paid less than whites, for doing the same jobs. So this is what leads to poverty. The rising crime rate among minorities and immigrants also leads to the separation of families. Many children in poverty ridden neighborhoods are raised by single parents. The rising number of crimes in these neighborhoods leads to more parents, mostly men put in prison...

...70 by 2037 for those who can draw full benefits. There are people who survive on their monthly benefits from Social Security, but how long will it be before they cannot live on this amount of money? Under current laws and program benefits, the future of Social Security is unstable unless changes are made. Once the trust funds are exhausted, the funds do not have the ability to borrow money to keep paying benefits to those who receive them. So, what can the government do to protect the future of these trusts and ensure their stability for the future? The minimum age to start drawing Social Security is 62, but to draw full benefits a person must be 66. The current age to draw full benefits is 66 and will change to 67 soon because of the Social Security Amendments of 1983. The majority of American people are waiting to a much later age to retire than in the past. The younger generation of today may not be able to draw benefits until they are 70. Whether people retire early or late, the amount of benefits will equal about the same. Some people may believe that Social Security will meet their needs in retirement. If a person pays in the maximum amount of money, then he can draw the maximum amount of benefits when he retires. If all their assets are paid for when they retire a person could survive on his benefits as long as he planned for his yearly expenses and set money aside to pay these. Some of the elderly people in America survive on just their monthly checks from...

There are many countries all over the world, and each one has its own special culture. Some countries have become very developed while others haven’t yet. For this reason, some people decide to go to foreign countries to have better prospects and opportunities. Among many places, the United States of America is one of the most desired countries. In the article “Can the American Dream Be Continued?” Don Tow claims, “The U.S. is a country full of opportunities, and they are there for your taking if you are willing to work toward it. This reputation is what attracted so many millions of people from all over the world to come to this country during the last 200 years, especially during the last 60 years when the U.S. became the most powerful and richest country in the world” (27). The number of people who leave their native countries to come after the coveted “American Dream” is getting higher and keeps increasing each year. America is one of the most developed countries in the world, full of opportunities and ready to provide an outstanding quality of life for its...
