Which needs are most important?
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
What needs does our topic cover?
The need to maintain health
The need to be free from anxiety
The need to be secure in the environment
The need for order and routine
How does Universal Health Care Help?
By providing adequate health care and preventative health care to everybody regardless of their economic status
By relieving stress about paying for health care costs
If Universal Health Care is so great why don’t we all
have it?
Negatives to Universal Health Care
Expensive (We pay taxes and pay for other peoples’ health care instead of our own)
Health care organized by the government-efficient?
Competition and profit motivates doctors to be the best they can be
Less patient flexibility
Patients won’t curb their doctor visits so the total costs will be higher than they are now
Negatives to Universal Health Care
Hospitals will be overcrowded and wait time will increase for health care
Health care and drugs may have to be rationed by the government-less freedom
People might choose not to become doctors because of the loss of benefits
Current Systems of Health Care
France #1 Health Care System in the World
Universal coverage by the government
Money is contributed by citizens based on income
Patients may choose their doctor
Most patients can get an appointment in the same day
Patients often have insurance for the remaining 30% costs that aren’t covered
Preventative care is important for the system and allows high cost health conditions to be fully covered when they do occur
Germany All citizens must have health
insurance which they select and buy themselves
Pre-existing conditions may not be denied coverage
Working germans pay 8% of their salary to a sickness fund and employers pay another 8% as well
There are preventative programs in place such as phone calls from nurses and increased education from doctors which helps lower costs
German doctors do not feel adequately paid
Britain Socialized medicine
Health care is rationed
The government runs the system completely since it pays for it. This includes choosing doctors and paying them as well as running the hospitals
Taxes go to the National Health Service which then pays the doctors and hostpitals
Prescription drugs are not paid for
Any treatment more expensive than 45,000 a year won’t be paid for regardless of the age of the patient
Canada Universal health care
Funded by income tax and sales tax
National government pays for military and native people but provincial and local governments pay for everyone else
Doctors and hospitals are private and bill the government
Coverage does not include prescription drugs
There are long waiting times, particularily for elective surgeries like knee replacements
Private medical systems are illegal but occasionally exist because doctors desire more up-to-date technology
Switzerland Universal Health Coverage since
1994
Health coverage is not through the government, but through private insurance companies
Even if you are unemployed you will receive health care because the government will subsidize the plan
Health care cannot be for profit unless it is dental care or alternative medicine
Switzerland has the 2nd highest health care costs in the world
Taiwan Taiwanese government pays for every citizens’ insurance
coverage
The system includes a smart card which contains all of the patients medical history cutting down on paperwork, allowing the government to be billed for health care services and allowing patients to be seen by any doctor
Workers and employers are responsible for paying for the system and subsidies provide help for everyone else
Patients can choose their own doctor and can see specialists and alternative medicine specialists
The problem is that not enough money is being made to upkeep the system and politicians are scared to increase taxes
Cuba All citizens and visitors receive free
health care
Preventative care is an important part of the system including education about how to eat and exercise right
Any citizen may receive a surprise home visit from a general doctor
The morality and standards of the system are not as high Low infant morality rate due to high
abortion rate of sick fetuses

Brazil
Private and public health care options
Public option is funded by income taxes, property taxes and banking transaction taxes
Anyone who can afford private system uses it due to corruption of the public system which is fighting off bankruptcy This creates a class system within the
attempted universal system
Russia Attempted to create a
public/private combination
90% of patiens have health insuance through the government but there is not enough funding because although the WHO reccommends a minimum of 5% of a countries total income be spent on health care, Russia only pays 3%.
Patients are often blackmailed for “donations” in order to receive care
