Health Care Reform是一个很好的问题与studen抚养ts for engaging classroom discussion.With Election 2016 coming fast around the corner, this is a campaign issue that impacts us all. We live in a changing world where the cost of health care is rising and the services offered may or may not meet our needs. Even with thePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, some of us still cannot afford health care. Health Care Reform is an issue that presidential candidates must address openly and honestly.
Let us shed light on 5 Health Care Reform viewpoints that should be explored and theProQuest SIRS Issues Researcher Leading Issuesthat cover these topics:
Should there be more government involvement in health care in the U.S.?
OurLeading Issue on Health Care Reformgets to the heart of this debate. Does more government involvement mean more insured citizens? Or does it mean a lower quality of care? What amount of government involvement is the right amount?
Should health insurance cover treatments for mental health disorders?
OurLeading Issue on Mental Health Insuranceaddresses a growing concern around the world, especially in the U.S. Is the cost to insure people with mental illness worth it for smaller employers? Should mental health coverage be expanded? With more and more people needing mental health services, why isn’t more being done to fulfill those needs?
Should there be stricter federal regulation of the off-label use of prescription drugs?
OurLeading Issue on Federal Regulation of Prescription Drugspinpoints issues with the pharmaceutical industry. Does stricter regulation of prescription drugs protect patients or hurt them? When traditional treatments reach a limit, should patients be allowed to try experimental drugs?
Should medical practices and decisions be regulated?
OurLeading Issue on Medical Practice Regulationhighlights the ethical practices of doctors and medical facilities. Can doctors make poor ethical decisions? Will stern regulation prevent it? Should patients and their families have more control than doctors when it comes to their quality of life and medical decisions?
Should there be caps on pain and suffering awards in medical malpractice cases?
OurLeading Issue on Medical Malpracticeconsiders the financial impact of malpractice by doctors. Would a cap on medical malpractice lower health care costs? Would they increase medical negligence? How often do doctors worry about medical malpractice complaints?
