NURS 4211 Advocating for Social Justice Discussion
NURS 4211 Advocating for Social Justice Discussion
Consider the following topics. In many U.S. communities,
low-income populations use the emergency room instead of going to a physician
or mid-level providers office. They often do not pay the bill for their
service, which shifts the cost of their care to other, paying patients at the
hospital. This practice drives up the cost of health care, but what else can
hospitals do? They have to have a certain amount of income to keep their doors
open. Is this fair? What if these sick people remain untreated and infect
others? Is this just? Do they deserve care so that they dont infect others? We
talk about a culture of poverty in this country. What does this mean to you?
What about those people who seem to bilk or misuse the health care system? Do
they deserve care? If so, who should pay for it? Shouldnt everyone be forced
to carry health insurance so that everyone has a pay source? Can we expect
people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps?
To prepare for this Discussion, you will need to read the
assigned chapters, and then consider the following questions:
What does social justice mean to you? Is social justice the
same as socialized medicine or even communism?
The notion of social justice is fairness so that everyone
can achieve a certain level of health and wellness. After all, the Constitution
guarantees everyone the right to pursue happiness. Is the health care system
fair?
If you could wave a magic wand and fix the health care
system, what is the first thing you would notice indicating that it had
changed? Or, in your opinion, do you think it needs to be changed at all?
