All Americans regardless of their economic standing in the community deserve access to essential and quality preventative, and primary healthcare. Those Americans who currently fall under the “publicly insured” category (Medicaid), and the medically uninsured, are at similar risk for delayed or non-existent required medical care. Establishing a free, 24 hour accessible Shelby County Primary Care Clinic would eliminate patient medical care delay, and result in large scale overall savings in projected annual medical care costs.

Health and social care is very important to a society and community. Moreover, people nowadays are affected by various diseases, some of which are newly invented.

If the need to lessen down health inequities is to be addressed, then not only worldwide coverage of health but also social determinants of health should be considered in a systematic as well as integrated manner.

Healthcare in my community has been a major issue since the new millennium. The main reason has been that some people feel they do not deserve to have health care. Although people will continue to debate, the issues have recently been brought to justice. President Obama signed a new legislation into law on March 23 and March 30, 2010. The goal is to repair the nation’s health care system and guarantee access to medical insurance for millions of Americans (Health Care Reform, 2010). This new legislation was signed by President Obama after a very close vote in the House of Representatives of 219 to 212 (Health Care Reform, 2010); These measures explain the significance of the issue. This new legislation will also provide rapid change for healthcare in 2010 and changes are likely to continue gradually beyond 2014. Health reform will make healthcare more affordable, make health insurers more accountable, and enlarge health coverage to all Americans. The health system will provide more stability for family budgets, the federal budget, and the economy. Some people will see this change as positive, while others will disagree. The most important quality of this new legislation is to make health care affordable for all Americans, and that is precisely what it will do. It will help about 32 million Americans afford health care who do not receive it today and will make coverage more affordable form many more. Under the plan, 95% of Americans will be insured (Health Care Reform, 2010). A positive feature is for those who have not been able to afford health care in the past, will now be able to get the health care they need. A negative feature is that it may exceed many physicians already large workload.…
