How good is American healthcare? What approach should we espouse to improve its quality?

Current Status:
The United States of America (USA) is the largest economy of the world in terms of Purchasing power parity (PPP) and Gross national product (GNP) (Askin & Moore, 2012). The economy has a strong recognition related its health and Development Index (HDI), shows that the economy has great feelings in terms of increasing the level of health of their population. The entire health care system of the United States comprises on not for profit organizations, public organization and privately oriented companies. According to the Budget briefing of the U.S. for year (FY) 2011, the health care sector proportionate to 17% of the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country (Askin & Moore, 2012). The current status of America is very powerful and broad with having the largest Medicated companies in the world; however the effectiveness of healthcare system is still not effective as compared to other western countries of the world.

Proposed Course of Action

No doubt that the U.S. has a great significance in terms of managing a strong and valuable tradeoff among their operational services. The country has a high and strong proportion in its health care sector in terms of the total GDP of the country. United States of America (US) is the largest economy of the world, but has a very weak health care system as compared to other western countries of the world. The government of the United States (US) can play their part to increase the level of effectiveness of their health care system by decreasing the cost associated with this particular sector. The health care system of the country is comparatively 45% expensive than other western countries of the world, but they are not providing the level of services which are expected from them (Askin & Moore, 2012). The Government should introduce more and more companies towards the Public sector in order to increase the level of proposed course of action. Russia which is comparatively a weaker economy than the U.S. has a free of cost health care system. The Government of the U.S. is recommended to initiate free of cost medication service within the country to increase the level of effectiveness among their population.

Opposition and Support

The United States has the largest medication service within their premises, which means that the country has a powerful medication services. After initiating the stance of free medical services to its every citizen will certainly affect adversely over the bottom line approach of the companies operating specifically in this particular region. All of these companies will be in opposition of this action; however there are certain companies like Pfizer, GSK and others will support this particular action accordingly because they already have lots of reserves in their treasury to manage their operations in a perfect and organized manner.

Conclusion

The health care system of the United States of America (USA) is one of the strongest ones of the world, but it has lots of lacking as well as compared to other countries. United States which proportionate more than 17% of the total GDP of the country, has to increase its significance as far as improving the quality of health care service in their country. The government has to take power actions and measures to overcome on all of these issues and should try to give their hundred percent efforts to satisfy the needs of their citizens in terms of giving effective health care services.
