Introduction
Welcome to our city YRN. We have 600,000 residents in our city. Our city is cold during the winter and hot during the summer. We love the cold weather because it helps get rid of fungus on plants and crops. We love the hot weather because the sun helps our crops with photosynthesis. Our city consist of many mountains, oceans, and plains. We get our water from snow, rain, hail, rivers, oceans and lakes. 25 percent of our city is crops, 25 percent of our city is forests, and 50 percent of our city consists of industries. We need forests because we not want our city to trap heat.
Industry
There are many industries that are prominent. Health care is a very important industry because It provides us with hospitals and services

All of the health care will be the same price but it won’t be abnormally expensive. We will require all foods, no matter if it’s fast food or groceries, to have a label of its calorie count and nutritional value. Immunizations for deadly diseases will be required for all infants but for diseases that are less harmful we will make it a decision for the people to make. Although the required immune shots will be covered in whole by health insurance, the non-required ones will be paid for 50 percent of the expense by the patient while health insurance will cover the remaining 50 percent, given if they have health …show more content…
We will prevent sprawling by adding a border. We will also prevent urbanization because it causes pollution and heat island. Heat island is caused when things like asphalt absorbs heat affecting the weather. Specifically urbanization increases waste, noise pollution, and light pollution. In order to make places walking distance we will build up instead of building out. This will also help stop sprawling. We will have bike racks on every corner of the city and busses that run on biofuel to reduce traffic. We will educate kids on how much they can save when they build sustainable buildings and use sustainable technologies. Specifically we will teach them to build gardens, use a composting toilet, collect rainwater, make walls out of tires and bottles, and use solar
Since everyone will have the same rights and rules the administrative health care cost will be shortened. “Coverage would include all medically necessary services, including rehabilitative, long-term, and home care; mental healthcare, prescription drugs, and medical supplies; and preventive and public health measures.” The hospital will be less billed; instead the government will mail them their annual lump-sum payment. The government will be the administrator, no employees. This takes out the employers’ contributions to insurances, all individual premiums, co-pays, and deductibles and also relieves state and local government of all the medical coverage. Wallet biopsy will not be used anymore; wallet biopsy is fee for services for medical. Decisions about clinical would not be effected from insurances anymore. A global budget is what is going to be dealing with the expense. Hospitals would not get shut down because of unpaid bills, now that universal health care is active. “The General Accounting Office projects an administrative savings of 10 percent through the elimination of private insurance bills and administrative waste, or $150 billion in 2002. This savings would pay for providing medical care to those currently under served.” Doctors’ incomes would change. No one would need private insurance, which limits the billing to private insurances will be
Universal Health care or more commonly referred to as National Healthcare began in the 1880’s in Germany. (Mcguigan) Every employee and employer in the country paid in a percent into the local health bureaus. Then the health bureaus would distribute the money to the doctor offices when you visit. If this bill is passed this would be the way it would work. For example if they were going to have you pay 10% if you made a 1,000 dollars and someone else made five hundred a week you would pay one hundred dollars and the other person would pay fifty dollars. Even though the healthcare coverage would be the same for you and them you end up paying more than the other person. In a way you would end up paying for their coverage. This is good depending on your pay class if you’re in the upper end of the spectrum you are getting screwed, but in the lower end of the spectrum it’s the best thing to happen.
2. The twin problems of the health care industry as viewed by society are cost and access. First of all, the cost of getting health care is very high and it is getting higher each day. This has been mostly caused by the combination of high cost and an increase in quantity of services provided to the communities. The other problem involves access to health care. American enjoy limited or no access to health care. Many efforts have been done to reform this, but still but still many people are left without access to the care. These two problems are related due to the fact that if the health care industry gets to high off course people no longer will be able to have any access to it. The higher prices are, the lower access people have to it.
Universal healthcare is an arising curiosity, mainly in the US due to the fact millions of people reside in the country. Most of them do not make minimum wage and just a simple check up could cost hundreds of dollars. Depending on what plan you get, health insurance can cost thousands of dollars and on a minimum wage job it would not be affordable. Universal healthcare is not free to all people. Either someone will be paying for it or taxes will be raised to afford universal healthcare for the millions of people who live and need it. The US would possibly need to borrow money from other countries to afford it and that
Healthcare is the maintenance or restoration of health by treatment from trained and licensed professionals (Webster). The American people faced many issues with the way the healthcare system is split up. There are four basic healthcare models the United States usescurrently. First, PBS describes that the Beveridge model, covered/ran by the government, through tax payments. This is the only model used in Great Britain but in America it only covers veterans and soldiers, in Great Britain everyone in the country has coverage by it . Another system model the US takes up is the Bismarck model,it helps people to buy their own health insurance through their employer (Healthcare Economist). Three main countries that use this model are Japan, Switzerland, and Germany whose ex-leader, Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck, created the Bismarck method of health care. Which not only covers 90% of their country but allowsthe rich 10% opt out (Reid&Palfreman). An Americans third model option takes of the ideas of both Beveridge and Bismarck and its name is the National Health Insurance (NHI), which Taiwan operates with. The NHI allows private providers to become a choice even though citizens. These four systems have been used for decades and President Obama has put a bill together to propose a change in America'shealthcare. The Affordable Care Act [Obamacare], will give coverage through employers, help people find their own insurance, or government coverage through Medicare for the elderly, and Medicaid for a 1/3 of others (KFF). Medicaid is offered for those with low income, but only states with governors and legislators who approve for this one actually benefit the KFF (Kaiser family foundation) explained. Those who don't have or want health insuranc...
Everyone having health care is a way that the government wants to equalize its citizens. As Kurt Vonnegut would say, “everybody was finally equal” (Vonnegut 1.) Unfortunately, everyone does not have the luxury to afford health insurance. The government then came up government healthcare that would try to put everyone a step closer to being on the same socioeconomic level. Some people believe that government healthcare is a good, but it comes with pros and cons. One of the pros is that everyone will have access to health care. On the other hand, there are new taxes installed for people who earn over a certain threshold or businesses in the health care
The strategic Pacific Rim location provides the city with numerous opportunities of international trade with Asia and the United States. The city is an emerging tech center and is slowly attracting a number of startups and investors. The healthcare sector is the major contributor to the economic development of the city and is a home to more than 900 health related businesses. Tourist Attractions The Peach Arch The Peach Arch is located on the border of U.S and Canada.
Taking the time to appreciate nature can allow individuals to value naturally produced resources as well as the beauty of the environment. As societies continue to urbanize and strive to prosper, sometimes they neglect these naturally occurring resources. This kind of broad issue can be considered in any city, but one city one should regard is Kansas City and its current standings in terms of being eco-friendly. Thus, several specific issues can arise if the residents of Kansas City do not take the initiative to preserve is natural resources and environments, which include increased air pollution, tainted water sources, and landfills. By considering these problems that potentially harm Kansas City’s local environments, it allows one to decide
With wood being such a great resource in our own backyard, there are plenty of reasons why Ontario Wood is the natural choice. Not only do the lumber industries here in Canada help out with the greenhouse effect but they also help forests adapt to it. Urban forests improve the quality of life in cities and towns in many ways. Trees do have a positive impact to notable human health benefits like including childhood obesity, reductions in stress levels, as well as other human illnesses. Not only do they have a positive impact on human health, the Urban forests provide many economic benefits as well.
When a new strategic plan is developing in a healthcare organization and during the process of implementation of the organization after the financial analysis (supported-value adding resources) find out they do not have capital to support the strategy, but the strategy promise to be a successful or mark a benefit in the process of delivery of care of patients, the healthcare organization has the option to search in its external resources. The external resources can be considered as joint ventures. The joint ventures are horizontal and vertical depending on the level of care. Horizontal venture with organizations that belong to the same level of care and are direct competitors such as two laboratory centers with different specialty entering
Tension is high and understanding is low in today's political atmosphere. With all the insults and accusations going back and forth over the attempt to reform health care and the insurance industry, it's a wonder that any bill was able to come out of congress. Well, one finally did after a long year of debate, politics, and parliamentary procedure, and now that the day has come people are probably more confused than they were when we started this whole process. I've researched the bill and I've spelled out some of the main points so that they can be digested a little easier. You can't fully do justice to a 2,700 page compilation of complicated language in a single article, but these are the highlights concerning what will change about health
RESOURCES In Healthcare economics resources relate to the collective means of production, properties and assets of the healthcare organization and other assets used to produce quality healthcare services to meet the needs and wants of the consumers. Resources include human, equipment, technology, capital, time etc. that are used in producing goods and services in the healthcare system. Human resources comprise of professionals and paraprofessional including doctors, nurses, technicians and technologists, healthcare administrator, and others who are charged with accomplishing the goals and objectives and the development of the healthcare system. It is significant and important for hospitals and healthcare agencies to evaluate their resources at set times periods.
Policy analysis encompasses the progress of ascertaining and evaluating alternative policies or program that intended to relieve or lessen economic, physical or social problems in the population (Patton, 2011). In determining the necessary steps of health care policy assessment that assist to shape the nursing practice environment, El-Jardali, et al., (2014) reported that policy analysis application offers results that are essential for the stakeholders and policymakers that can utilized in reviewing some of the laws in nursing laws in order to grasp an operative alternative that is feasible. Constructively, the aims of the policy analysis is to create a comprehensive vision on the process of making public policies, then recognize the issues
In a world where over half of the human population calls a city their home, the need to restructure and revolutionize the way we design our urban environments has never been greater. Currently, the notion that these vast metropolises of metal, concrete, and sludge could one day be fully realized pillars of sustainability is certainly laughable. However, when these same cities are constantly growing and multiplying across the globe, all the while using a greater and greater chunk of our planet’s energy, this impossible task becomes a necessary focus. To strive towards the closed, continuous loop of “true” sustainability could greatly alter the image of the modern city. Any improvement over the current state of urban affairs could carry weight, and even if that goal is not entirely fulfilled, the gained benefits would be immense.
One of the most common problems in big cities is overpopulation. Today we are seeing
