The Health Care System Is Inevitable

With the continued rise in health care cost, Nathan Kaufman wrote an article where he expressed a belief that a failure in the U.S. health care system is inevitable. Kaufman compares the fall of the health care system to the epic collapse of the real state market in 2007. In this essay we will explore how the rising cost of health care effects will affect a case in the market and how organizations can prepare for the assumed crash if the U.S. health care system.
The Burst of the Health Care System Bubble. If we look back to the 2007, three years before the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed, the rate of uninsured Americans was at it’s highest and constantly rising (Zamosky, 2016). The plan for the ACA was decreasing the number of uninsured

This allows physicians the opportunity to provide the best treatment options that are available without worrying about cost. If hospitals are offered incentives to limit or reduce care based the belief that administrators, patient-provider relationships will be affected. Consumers believe that the health care team has their best interest at heart. They also believe that the health care team will do everything possible to ensure they receive the best treatment possible. Inference from hospital administration in the care of patient could delay life saving treatments, and tie the hands of physicians when quick action is needed. If a pricing standards are established across the board for every hospital and every physician, health care may not be affected. Physicians might become more concerned with meeting the mark instead of providing the best care, depending on the consequences. I believe that in this case malpractice insurance will increase, hence physician cost will increase. Kaufman stated, “medical directors should have the authority to set the standard for their service line”, but what standard at one hospital may not be the same at another (Kaufman, 2011). Another problem with this proposal, who sets the standard? For example, treat for patients in emergency rooms vary from hospital to hospital. Patients are different, illness present in different ways, therefore treatment should remain in the hands of the treating physician without the cloud of management looming over. With that being said, unless a realistic cap or standard is placed on the treatment of patients, I think that a reduction in physician autonomy would cause a decline in patient care. In contrast, the ACA includes provision that recognizes the need for physician autonomy. Many provisions in the ACA offer consumer’s health care plans that allow for
