Summary: Monetary Hindrance In The VA Hospital

To begin with, by high school one out of three young adults will have type two diabetes. Type two diabetes forces people to constantly have to check their blood sugar and take shots daily so you don’t get incredibly ill, and die. An incredibly great second example is, advertiser and companies use cartoon characters and celebrities to make children new to life, want them; compelling them to think they love the product even though they are being deceived by a picture of a toucan. Also some very educated people are saying that many people won’t live very long. A quote that proves this is from a news article called Marketing to kids gets more savvy with new technology, “we have a generation that is the first to have a life expectancy less than our parents.”

Price inflation has been a major contributor to the rise of healthcare cost in recent decades (Brodenhemier & Grumbach, 2012, p. 97). The United States has the most expensive healthcare system among the industrialized nation so what can we do to control this inflation before it is too late? Other nations like Canada and England are doing a great job at keeping inflation down. Perhaps we can looked towards these international nations to help us control our price inflation. The good news is we don’t have to look outside of the country.

Technology has been around since the 1860s. Technology has many effects in our environment and has helped develop more advanced economies in our society. The use of technology can enhance and deteriorate the lives of many people especially students. In my personal opinion, I think our school should participate in “ Shut your Screen Week” The reasons I think our school should participate include using technology such as cell phones during class can cause distraction, the use of too much technology can be overwhelming, Spending hours on a screen can lead to certain health issues such as poor eyesight, and by decreasing the amount of technology usage it

“We are disheartened because every suicide is a tragedy, and the suicide rate in the US has been steadily increasing for years. The more the public understands about suicide prevention, the more likely we’ll see the rate of suicide begin to decrease. Creating a culture open to talking about mental health and suicide prevention is critical. Making treatment truly accessible for all people is paramount” (Moutier). Christine Moutier is the Chief Medical Officer for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

It is my analysis of the financial burden and decisions we had to make for my grandmother is that as the demand increases for long-term care as the baby boomer population ages, Medicare and Medicaid will be forced to reevaluate how they pay for long-term care. Many states are not equipped to handle the comprehensive needs of this aging population (Ford, Henderson, & Handley, 2010). Also, families are forced to take on enormous financial burdens due to the lack of coverage by Medicare (Can Medicare, 2015). The are no true pros to this situation.

In recent decades, according to Daniel Pink, the information era has dominated. This means that lawyers, accountants, and software engineers have been highly valued professions. However, Pink proposes that we are moving from the information age into a conceptual era where rational, logic-based thinking is no longer enough to succeed in our economy. Businesses will urgently need designers, inventors, teachers and storytellers. Their ability to come up with new ideas and see the big picture is projected to be essential for success in business, media, and marketing.

This tragic circumstance – dementia – is one that befalls more and more people every year even as we celebrate the feats of science in concocting more and better treatments for illness and stretching out our sojourn on this increasingly less mortal coil. It is one of many immense costs that the human race bears – on individual, familial and societal levels – for greater longevity. As biological science strides on towards its likely tipping point into a Brave New World, it is imperative that we examine whether longer life expectancy is more a blessing or a bane. The problems wrought by the constant uptick in our years of life are, in my view, of such magnitude that they have preponderance even over the undoubtedly great advantages that they

Why is it that when there is a newfangled gadget or gizmo out on the market, emergency responders and planners thinks they need to have it? Communities can spend all their tax dollars on the latest invention to improve the emergency response capability. This practice was rampant in the post 9/11 days. If you could tie a product with some type of disaster/emergency/terrorism response, you were sure to sell you item. The problem is, like with most things, it not that you need something new, but need to know how to use what you have.

Baby boomers are defined as “the era of Americans who were conceived somewhere around 1946 and 1964". This group has been large and significant percentage of the U.S population. Their aging will have dramatic implications for health care providers with regards to the costs implications of the resources that they will consume, the expectations that they will have in terms of services they receive, and how they expect to interact with health care system. The needs and wants of the baby boomer generation are extremely complex, and in order to create an effective marketing message, advertisers need to conduct comprehensive market research in order to gain their market share (Berkowitz, 2010).

Today 's Americans are too dependent on technology to the point where it could destroy the country because the impending threat of an Electromagnetic Pulse attack is on the rise, hacking and identity theft are becoming real problems, and the amount of technology in everyday lives are assisting in the rise of America 's obesity rates. All of the technology of today’s times are adding to America’s ever increasing obesity rates. When students get home from school, they conduct less than 30% of their recommended physical activity and 80% of their recommended screen activities. In a study on the afterschool activities of children, Lauren Arundell noted that “During the entire day children spent 60.3% of their time SED, 29.2% in LPA and only

E. Technology; Opening the Door to Millions of Possibilities In America, the endless innovation of both new and old technologies have driven the nation for centuries. How one views technology differs for many reasons. Lynn White articulates that the extent of a technology strongly depends on both society and the imaginations of its leaders. However, Langdon Winner sees technology as something that by the time people start to question it, it is already far too late. Once society has already integrated it into its culture, the question becomes: did that technology end up harming us, or was its purpose and implementation beneficial?
