Japan’s welfare state is one of the most dynamic and effective system till economic bubble burst. Not only that, it affected the welfare system and its policies all the way to its core itself. But the 1989-1990s economic changes also helped to reform its system. In the midst of all welfare policies the medical welfare stands out the most.

For example, statistics from 1960-2010 the medical expenses in Japan changed to minimum from 20 trillion yen, which expected to rise to 59 trillion yen by the year of 2025.

There are thousands of people in the world who oppose the idea of age based healthcare rationing. Some believe that if we ration healthcare based on age, that it would take away rights and justices from the elderly population (scu.edu). Like mentioned in the article by Claire Andrea and Manuel Velasquez, “Aged-Based Health Care Rationing”, when people refer to the justice part, they believe that everyone should be treated similarly unless there are rules or morals presented that require them to be treated differently. Yes, everyone should be treated equally, but healthcare rationing is not going to treat people differently, only the medical resources would be rationed. Andrea and Velasquez make a good point in the article, they say by rationing medical resources it would increase the economic productivity of the young, making it more beneficial for the whole world.

The welfare reform is a movement to reduce the number of people and families dependent on welfare. The welfare reform is important because the government's goal of these reforms is to reduce the number of people and families that receive welfare from the government. Beliefs on the welfare reform are that benefits should be cut because people on welfare are abusing it being dishonest and giving welfare does not address the real problems. Welfare reform does not the give people and families in need an opportunity to step out into the world and be self-sufficient, instead it moves them out of welfare and into without health benefits, without childcare, and without savings.

Due to hospital care reaching an all-time high in America, we need nurses now more than ever before. Currently in America, we have an issue with nurses having too many paperwork to fill out. In the article “We Need More Nurses” by Alexandra Robbins argues we need more nurses in the hospital. Nursing shortage has been a common issue throughout the world. Because of this issue others are being affected in many different ways.
The purpose of this paper will be first to identify a new model for nursing care delivery that will ensure improvement in both the quality and economic outcomes for our organization. Secondly, I will articulate how various key concepts of the new model will help improve the quality of service delivery in our organization while minimizing costs. Finally, well formatted empirical, scholarly evidence will be provided to support the raised ideas. Two areas where the hospital expenses due to patient injuries can be minimized and where the quality of patient care can be improved have been identified by the management of the operating room.

Summary of “The American Healthcare Paradox” “The American Health Care Paradox” focuses on health care and how the United States is suffering compared to their peer countries. The United States has spent billions of dollars in health care and the problem is still growing. The government is responsible for not following or ignoring the issue that we suffered with, in today’s society the healthcare system is failing drastically. The health care system has been a problem for several decades now, even though it seems that things are getting better it’s not.
As people age, health becomes more of a concern as people more prone to health problems. Supporting Evidence: This was the time were many people were discovering themselves, so they did drugs, had unprotected sex etc. So most of our taxes will go to these Baby Boomers to pay for their health-care (PhillyMag) This also means that it is to the elder’s advantage because they can take use of the free healthcare The fact that they are growing old means that they are developing issues physically and in some cases mentally (Stat Canada)
This enables them to make high profits at the expense of consumers and workers. And, less care is taken about working conditions because workers don’t have many alternatives to the main firm. Nursing shortage is a major problem in the United States and there is always a high demand regardless of what state comes to mind when we think of nursing shortages. The problem is that the patients that are in need and require the staff of a nurses are the ones to suffer along with the nurses as well.
Savor reviewed research that interviewed nurses and explained how many nurses “pointed out that the demand for nurses is rising, with only slow increases in supply, and that nurses’ earnings flattened” (2017). This can lead to a shortage of nurses because in current day society, living has become much more expensive. For example the cost of housing has increased dramatically, and students who go to college are now in charge of paying back their tremendous amounts of student’s loans. All these expenses add up and can be discouraging to a student trying to enter the nursing field because starting pay of a nurse is not enough to live comfortably in current day society. Governments are beginning to realize this and are seeing the decrease of nurses entering the field.
