Health care access and coverage
The potential coverage for the health care services includes; promotion, treatment,
prevention, palliative care and rehabilitation (Sommers, Gunja, Finegold, & Musco, 2015).
The health care coverage serves as an insurance that guarantees everyone in the economy of
access to quality health care services regardless of the individual financial position. Often, the
United States is made up of different people with diverse social status which might hinder
access to health care services especially among the poor in the country. It is, therefore, naïve
to neglect the fact that health care coverage determines the accessibility to health care
services among the members of the economy
The argument of whether everyone should be obligated towards access to quality
healthcare and healthcare coverage or not has been continuous in the United States of
America. Many have supported the Affordable Care Act which aims at ensuring everyone is

the Affordable Care Act. Personally, everyone in the United States of America should be
obligated towards access to healthcare and healthcare coverage. Heath care is one of the basic
need that every economy should strive to promote stability. Additionally, promoting
accessibility and healthcare coverage is the only way of minimizing social differences among
the member of society. Failure to do so will make the poor to suffer from diseases as the rich
in the economy acquire quality healthcare services.
Furthermore, the healthcare sector is a sensitive area in the economy which cannot be
linked to the forces of demand and supply. It is the role of the economy to ensure the
healthcare services are affordable to the citizens. However, linking the healthcare system to
the forces of demand and supply might lead to coalitions which may form cartels thus
creating monopolists in the long term who may render the healthcare sector too expensive to
