The role of government in health care
The government has a responsibility to protect society interest in the delivery of health care. The market alone cannot provide access to healthcare to all Americans. Therefore, there is a need for the government to supplement by regulating any form of inefficiency or unfairness. The ultimate aim to achieve better health care needs a partnership between all authorities, state, local, and federal government, and the interest groups. The government has to preserve people’s health care interest.
The state government should use the taxpayer’s money in useful ways. Ensuring that health care sectors are allocated with enough funds to run their business. Improving the current hospital’s facilities help in fostering health in the community. The government has a responsibility to create awareness of better healthcare (Colquhoun et al,2019). Ensure that the most appropriate professional are employed to work in health institutions.
The framers of the US constitution had understood that any interested parties could exert policy influence. Individuals with policy goals working in the political process can influence the health care policies in several ways. Particular interest can profoundly distort the fair use of taxpayer money. People might use the public funds to meet their personal needs (Colquhoun et al,2019) .Misusing federal funds could lead to the weak health system in the state. Interest groups can lobby the government through contacting the executive and Congress branches so to acquire information on adverse or positive effects of a proposed bill. Interest groups also may participate in educating people on various health issues, impacting the government officials, public, and their potential group’s members. Group of interest also participate in mobilizing public with the aim of influencing policy-making (Schweitzer& Lu, 2018). . in our state most of the interest groups in the health sector are focused on improving their member’s economic interest, As well as ensuring that every person in our country gets effective health.
