Problem Statement: Issues in the Healthcare System

The healthcare system of the USA has been in crisis for a long time in terms of laws and other medicated concerns. At first the cost of the health care system as higher than the productive outcomes generated. There were no or less betterment in the care of the patients, but the cost utilization was higher on a continuous basis. Moreover, the poor quality of the healthcare system was always in the section of medication provision. The patients were delivered the improper services and even there were cases of wrong medicines prescription to the patients. It is evident that the lives of the people of the society were at risk. The research I n this regard shows that people had even lost their lives with these errors of the healthcare system (Weil, 2013).

The spending on the healthcare of the US is more than any other country of the world i.e. almost 9,348 dollars per capita, but the outcomes of such a high investment are little towards the Medicare of people. With these aspects; therefore, USA ranks lowest in terms of health measures provided to the people of the society (Weil, 2013).

Most of the Americans are found to be suffering from the problem STD (Sexually Transmitted Diseases), obesity, higher level of infant mortality and shorter life expectancies among the people. All this is because of the fact that major emphasis and focus is on the maximization of profits instead of focusing on the provision of good health (Weil, 2013).

All the modernization in the field of the healthcare system is of immense quality, but the behavior of caregivers to the problems of patients is conflicted. They treat even an ordinary disease with the emergent behaviors. The use of high-technology is not necessary in all cases, but the physicians and caregivers should be careful in this regard (Weil, 2013).
