Impact of Lack of Health Insurance on Healthcare Delivery

The inability of patients to pay for their healthcare needs is a genuine concern to the healthcare facility. For one, the facility can no longer raise revenue to sustain the place. If this happens consistently, it may not yet be able to justify the possession of an active license since uninsured people are unlikely to receive Medicare and are more likely to have health issues. (Healthy People 2020) And closing the shop may be the logical consequence for the clinic.

Conclusion

Essentially, when the healthcare provider realizes that the patient’s challenge is traceable to society, they can secure the services of social workers to bridge the gap by providing resources to meet the patient’s needs. Accordingly, these patients that may have been tagged irresponsible and condemned to ill health eventually receive healthcare and freedom from ill health. Making efforts to see individuals failing in a sociological sense is truly a win-win. Individuals’ inclinations and what they do are always reflections of what society offers. Lacking this understanding is the usual cause of conflict and the inability of administrators, teachers, leaders, managers, and salespeople, including caregivers, to give or get the best when dealing with people within their sphere of influence. Since the nursing profession is typically social, it may be required that the nursing professional be versed in employing sociological imagination in confronting related personal challenges in the workplace.
