U.S. Health Care Delivery Systems Michelle Bell-Rodriguez Trident University International MHA500 Dr . Sharon Nazarchuk October 8, 2021 Introduction • Healthcare coverage in the United States is a combination of private health insurance and Public health coverage. • Public health coverage is through Medicare and Medicaid. • This makes healthcare expensive in comparison to the selected countries like Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, and United Kingdom. Australia • Australia uses a two tier healthcare system which is both private and public. • Australian permanent citizens are eligible to high quality free public inpatient and outpatient hospitalization. • Healthcare coverage in the United States is a combination of private health insurance and Public health coverage. • The public is through Medicare and Medicaid which only caters for a selected number of the population. Australia • Medical practitioners in Australia provide all primary care (Jones et al., 2011). • In the U.S. different specialties provide primary care. • The United States and Australia have Medicare with the Australian system providing access to all the citizens. Canada • The United States expenditure on healthcare is higher than Canada. • Healthcare coverage in Canada is universal under the National Health insurance Program (Ridic et al., 2012). • This shows the general population have access to healthcare. • Patients do not participate in reimbursement leading to administrative efficiency in Canada. Canada • The Canadian and U.S. healthcare systems use federal agencies to protect the patient from competition in the industry. • The majority of health services are provided by private providers including primary services in the two nations. • There is a limit on the coverage of services provided by hospitals and medical providers in the U.S and Canada. Germany • The United States is behind Germany in terms of healthcare outcomes even the health expenditure is higher. • Germany uses the universal healthcare system and is the first nation to use this system. • There are more physicians in Germany with the ratio being 3.4 per 1,000 persons. • This ratio is higher than the U.S. which stands out at 0.29%. Germany • There is heavy government involvement in the Germen healthcare system with each level of the government assigned tasks (Ridic et al., 2012). • The state controls all the aspects of health insurance. • The United States lacks a nationwide system of health insurance. • Health insurance in the U.S. is purchased in a private market. New Zealand • New Zealand ranks higher in the care process than the United States (Schneider et al., 2017). • The country performs extremely better in doctor-patient relations. • U.S. has a also excelled in doctor-patient relations and wellness counselling. New Zealand • The rate of hospital beds shows that New Zealand is ahead of the U.S. at 6.1 per 1000 persons in comparison to 3.3 per 1000 people. • Health outcomes are better in New Zealand with the life expectancy at 82.8 for females and 79.1 for males. • The rate of physicians to the population is lower for New Zealand at 2.2 per 1000 people. United Kingdom • The two countries use different health systems where the UK uses the universal health coverage that ensures all the citizens regardless income has access to health care. • Everyone has access to the same level of healthcare in the United Kingdom. • The American health system is complex and one loses coverage when they lose employment. United Kingdom • The two nations have some of the worst healthcare outcomes with the UK being ranked at 10 and U.S 11 (Schneider et al., 2017). • The quality of healthcare in the UK is better than that of the United States. • This is blamed on heavy spending in the U.S. and poor accessibility due to the high costs. Recommendations • Access to health care is the main problem facing the United States. • The nation can adopt a universal healthcare system similar to the one in UK which is paid through general tax revenue. • This will ensure access to healthcare and health services for all the citizens. Recommendations • Paperwork and disputes should be followed between the paying body and insurance company. • This will ensure efficiency and eliminate the amount of time spent in paper work.
