Notas del editor
- Today we’re going to talk about two things: problems with current healthcare system and possible solutions to these problems. Pineapple - complex task, sticky, messy and hard to grip.
- The majority of Americans are willing to pay more taxes to provide every American health insurance, especially children, according to a 2007 New York Times survey Private companies (HMO) set the prices - co-pays, bills, who’s covered, who’s not covered Individual states & fed programs - who’s the final decision maker? Consumer? Patient? Private ins co? Your boss? Govt?
- Language ex: UHC, Healthy Families, human rights, poor, guidelines vs. recommendations vs. enforced law, etc. - 2005 Seattle right to healthcare ballot initiative, … Medicaid eligibility in 2005 ranged from 40% to over 110% of FPL depending on state
- Euphemisms: friendly fire, national security, juvenile justice, universal healthcare… U.S. culture: permeated through out public policies, academia, and social life - why the guilt when sick or need to care for a loved one or mental re-charge?
- At least 14 states at research time have introduced UHC bills / legislation City vs. state vs. federal coverage (govt); nonprofit sector - volunteers & low-paid staff; private sector - employment linked to insurance status
- In order to brainstorm solutions, we should identify problems first, and to do that, we need more time --> let’s create a committee or task force or partner with the local university for more research Memos and reports with recommendations Time for research and identify problems and actors - what people are thinking, who’s involved, how can we solve this issue together
- Linked to political dialogue - euphemisms, coined terms, etc. - who wants to claim to be the “first” (first city to cover all citizens, first state to cover all children…first to use HR language…)
- By 1998, asthma was the leading cause of hospitalization among children in King County, significantly higher for children ages 1-4 and for those living where poverty is greatest
- Variables: race, ethnicity, SEP, geography, gender, etc. Problems and thus policies are interlinked: transportation, anti-poverty, healthcare, human rights, immigration, etc. Striving solutions: city, state, and federal governments; third sector; everyday citizens - bartering, etc. Hybrid solution: transparency, accountability, and reform in education, policy, dialogue, and U.S. culture
