HCA 315 Week 4 Discussion 2 | Southwestern College

 Unit 4 Discussion 2

Prompt:

Healthcare reform is complicated and challenging for  policymakers at, both, federal and state levels. We, "the people" demand changes to the current system, but are often overwhelmed by the role that government takes on and intercedes in regards to costs within the reform. The perception is that when there is governmental intervention-all efficiencies go out the door. The federal reform history has established employer and individual mandates as well as "single-payer and market-based reform models." 

Please note that most proposals do not make it to the table so they do not have the opportunity to come to fruition.  So-were there viable plans that were lost in the political ploys and hostilities of parties and favoritism?   However, one proposal made it into the legions of polices, i.e. the Affordable Care Act  and is currently "folding into the fabric" of the United States' healthcare economy.
