Hey Everyone!
Hope you all had a fun Halloween weekend.
For this blog I wanted to discuss some of my findings when I compared the United States health care system with that of Germany and England. America is the only developed country without universal health care which I thought was interesting so I wanted to look into the other countries systems. Germany is known for having one of the best health care systems, because everyone is covered as well as having good quality but the downfall is that this system is expensive and will eventually not be able to persist. England on the other hand also covers everyone however the system has it faults in that it takes a long time to receive treatment as well as the quality of care is not as great. America does not cover all citizens however what we lack in availability we make up for in quality. After researching this topic is seems that every health care system has its faults and it seems to be a trade off of availability and quality. Which do you think is more important? Do you think it is possible to have both?
I think it is absolutely possible to have "availability and quality"--it just comes at a price. And usually middle class Americans cannot afford that price.
ReplyDeleteI think availability and quality vary in their importance when it comes to health care. Whatever the situation is, that's which factor weighs the most. We want quality when it comes to life threatening diseases such as cancer. And we also want availability when it comes to having a strep throat and seeing a doctor for remedy.
