Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions[1*5=5 Marks)
Health insecurity is at an all-time high. In a time when thousands of people lose their health insurance every
day, when health care is becoming elusive to even well-to-do Americans, and when any person is just one pink
slip away from becoming uninsured, it becomes clear that health care for all is not just important to achieve,
but imperative. At its root, the lack of health care for all in America is fundamentally a moral issue. The United
States is the only industrialized nation that does not have some form of universal health care (defined as a basic
guarantee of health care to all of its citizens). While other countries have declared health care to be a basic
right, the United States treats health care as a privilege, only available to those who can afford it. In this sense,
health care in America is treated as an economic good like a TV or VCR, not as social or public good.
Although it can be very complex and frustrating at times, it has come a long way from the health care
organizations of yesterday. Previously, most health care facilities were a place where the sick were housed and
cared for until death. Physicians rarely practised in hospitals and only those who were fortunate, could afford
proper care at home or in private clinics. Today, the level of health care has excelled tremendously: presently
the goal of the health care is to have a continuum of care for the patient, one which is integrated at all levels.
Many hospitals offer a referral service or discharge plan to patients who are being discharged. Plans for the
patient are discussed with a discharge planner. The discharge planner is a person who is trained in assessing
what the patient's requirements for health care will be
care will be after discharge from the hospital.
