Health care systems

One of the strengths in health care today is the technology that has come about to help us live longer as well as the delivery of health care. It is convenient for Americans to be able to have available ambulatory care and community health care. Even though health care has increased over the years one of its other strengths would be that we at least have assistance available for individuals who qualify to have the health care they need. One weakness is the average American family can not afford health care (the working poor) and it may be worse in the future if we do not come up with other programs that could help those that do work and not meet the qualifications for certain government assistance. Another weakness in health care is the amount of money we spend for research and it may not ever be a cure for certain cancers and diseases such as Aids but we still put money towards finding a cure for such epidemics. Something that I think is challenging for the health care system in the near future is newer technology; I wonder what they will come up with next.

The new system that I will introduce will allow more Americans available health care with affordable prices. Employers will contract with insurance companies to offer discount rates for employees who are below management levels.

Eligibility for these rates will be determined by household size and income. The restrictions will be determined between both employers and insurance companies. This will allow families to receive
