The role of the federal government in eliminating health disparities.

/in , /by

Federalism’s Impact on Policy

The fragmentation of the U.S. health care system, with its differing modes of financing and service delivery, is a reflection of a dispersed government structure. Policy making is shared and distributed across various branches and levels of government. As a result, policy making processes can be slow to respond, manipulated towards personal interests, and often redundant. Consider, for example, the public entitlement programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIPS), and the PPACA of 2010. Where is there overlap between these policies? How do they demonstrate a dispersed government structure?

This week, you will analyze the role of the federal government in health care policy making.

To prepare:

Review      this week’s Learning Resources focusing on the France article and the      textbook readings. 
Identify      two nursing or health care policies that address similar needs, one passed      at the federal level and the other at another level of government (state      or local). 
By tomorrow 04/17/2018 3pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headings as numbered below:

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1) Provide an example of two policies that address similar needs, passed at two levels of government (i.e., federal, state, or local).

2) What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of this duplication? How does this example reflect the implications of federalism? Provide support from the literature for your position.

3) To what degree should the federal government get involved in health care policy making? Provide concrete examples to support your position.

Required Readings

Bodenheimer, T., & Grumbach, K. (2016). Understanding health policy: A clinical approach (7th ed.). New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Medical.

Chapter      15, “Health Care Reform and National Health Insurance”

Chapter 15 discusses the history of legislating national health care      insurance in the United States. The chapter focuses on the different      methods of financing a national health care reform, from a single-payer      government fund to employer and individual mandates.

Chapter      16, “Conflict and Change in America’s Health Care System”

Chapter 16 highlights the historical relationships between health care      purchasers, insurers, providers, and suppliers. Over the decades, these      stakeholders have battled for control of the U. S. health care system, as      health care costs increase, and more people remain uninsured.

The author argues that the United States’ unique form of federalism works negatively within a fragmented societal context to create an equally fragmented and dispersed health care system. The article highlights the United States health care system by comparing it with systems in Canada, Germany, and Australia.

Kennedy, E. M. (2005). The role of the federal government in eliminating health disparities. Health Affairs, 24(2), 425–428.

In this article, the late Senator Kennedy discusses health care disparities among marginalized groups in the United States. He proposes the expansion of Medicaid and State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), increased cultural competency among health care providers, health care research related to marginalized groups, and an increased public health investment by the United States. He includes a brief history of government involvement in reducing health care disparities.
