ISSUE – Implementation and strategic problems with public health policy
in United States
Background
In United States, the public health has been taking many new forms and shapes with
the advent of new diseases and conditions that are ever increasing in the public health
scenario of United States. Coronary artery disease and cerebral attack in addition to
hypertension and obesity are the major issues in the public health scenario of United States.
The public health care policies and the various types of the government lead health care
campaigns haven been found to affect the health care scenario of United States in a very
different manner. Although the public health policies are heavily funded by the government
of united states – it is important that the various types of policies are bought into right
practice by the executives at the health care institutions and by the administrators as well so
that the various types of issues with implementation of the health care policies are addressed
at an efficient rate and manner (Nahin, Barnes & Stussman, 2016). One of the most important
health care and health servicing policy that is both vital and popular in the country of United
States is Medicare (Hall et al., 2016). Given its contribution to the alteration of the ways of

but now, the policy that is still a huge public health policy in the United States has been
found to face a lot of challenges and barriers nowadays including shortage of funding and
lack of right workforce. However, the lack of understanding of the policymakers who are
creating the inaccurate policies that are failing at a public level nowadays (Malekinejad et al.,
2018). The various types of the incapacities of the workforce such as the policy sellers and
lack of collaboration with new changing trends of health care institutions such as health
information technology and usage of medical cards that can be used at ease by the clients –
are the certain issues that is troubling the Medicare policy framework in a very deep manner
(Papanicolas, Woskie & Jha, 2018).
Current Status
The Medicare is the major insurance and public health policy in the framework and
nation of United States. It is intended to address the socioeconomic issues or parameters of
the public population of United States, through the delivery of right health insurance services.
The lead originators and the sponsors of the proposal is the national framework of public
policy development and implementation. At the state level, there are certain policy issues.
The very important aspect of the health care system of United States is that it is rapidly
changing with the emergent trends of electronic database management, health information
technology and by the application of the electronic medical records and it is very critical that
the various types of new discoveries pertaining to the kind and the type of medical disease
and condition identified, has changed the way how and in what way and manner the patient
