Public Health and Health Insurance

Swine flu has swept onto the health care stage recently and the concern is how to protect Americans if we end up facing a pandemic. Most national citizens are of the opinion that the US has the best health care in the world and that’s the reason why Mexico is having a difficult time of maintaining life for it’s people. Supposedly Americans have access to great medical care and health insurance so may be protected from facing the issues arising in Mexico for their people and their government. So a question arises, why are we still maintaining our health better than the citizens of Mexico?

We have a magnificent health care system, but what we also have is the CDC which alot of countries don’t have. They are the Center for Disease Control which is a national resource to help with the onslaught of contagious diseases. They work together with the World Health Organization to locate and maintain tracking of anything contagious, they also help with providing treatments and vaccines. In addition, our medical system delivers information to the CDC quickly as opposed to reporting from countries in the third world.

Other countries have some difficult issues to overcome in order to keep them healthy, safe from something such as the current swine flu. Some of these are poor nutrition, no clean water supplies, communal living, lack of personal hygiene and little to no disease education.

So although we definitely are facing some serious health care issues and people are questioning not only the benefits of the health insurance system, but also the entire health care system in general, realize that the government does work to keep us healthy by providing a good clean water supply, access to nutritious food, and a government agency to monitor the spread of diseases that is fully armed with the resources to address the outbreak in the US.

This crisis is really important but there are many health care issues the government provides for us, even though there are pieces and parts of this system that need work. We have the health insurance and medical coverage to keep us healthy but public health provides much more. While staying abreast of this current crisis, keep in mind we have a wonderful public health system in place to keep us all as healthy as possible.
