Peer Response 1:
Health care is one of the vital sector in United States. The utmost purpose of healthcare system in United States is to provide health
facilities, care and Nursing Assessment to all groups of people. It is one of the sector that contributes maximum amount in the development of
United States. It serves people to deal with various diseases and disorders. However, there are several sections of Healthcare system ( Howdon,
D., & Rice, 2018). Some sections deal with Nursing whereas some deal with medical practitioners. Some also keep a close eye on the financial
status of the system.
Moreover, ageing is a process that no one can stop and creates a major impact on the healthcare system. Nurses need to be extra careful
while handling such patients. Somewhat they need to follow, their nursing ethics as well that deals with Autonomy, Beneficence, Non-
maleficence. It will always be important to follow their nursing ethics, in which they should treat the patient according to their rights as well and
also justify without harming them (Grace, 2017). They also need to follow both forms of Leadership, it may be formal and may be informal. So,
treatment of aged people will always remain crucial as per medical practitioner’s view (Ross et al., 2014).
These inequalities originate into loudest emphasis when review defendants are requested around a sequence of undesirable standards
often related with elderly, such as complaint, loss of memory, an incapability to ambition, a fight with lonesomeness and unhappiness,
depression and anxiety. In most aspects, grownup adults account suffering them at inferior stages than newer adults explanation imagining to
come across as they grow old (Lassen & Moreira, 2014). Similarly, however, older adults account undergoing scarcer of the assistances of

elderly that newer grownups imagine to relish when they raise older, such as spending quality time with their family, traveling to places for
enjoyment, following the hobbies and passion, encountering volunteer works to spend time.
Such generation breaks in awareness also spread to the greatest rudimentary query of all around old phase. When does it start? Survey
defendants ages around 18 to 29 accept as true that the normal individual develops senior citizen at an age of 60. Middle-aged accused put the
verge earlier to 70, and people ages 65 and overhead approximately that the regular individual does not develop old pending 74 (Eichengreen,
2015). To be utmost sure, there are problems that originate with elder age. About one person out of four adults and older experience severe
memory damage. The others suffer from serious serious complaint and often feel sad, depressed and emotions full of frustration (Dong & Zhang,
2014). Report delivers as if they are isolated or have worry paying beaks. Few cannot even drive a car or ride a bike. Some feel as if they are
burden to others because of their age. Certain potential problems are closely associated to old age but that is the face of reality in US and people
need to deal with it. Such expectations are hard to face when they come into elder stage.

A lack of
insurance
coverage
Health is one of the major
concern in United States. A
short-term goal can be enough
funding in healthcare system so
that every people can get
treatment without any
discrimination or cost-
effectiveness. It is difficult for
the poor people to afford the
medical cost. Sometimes they
even avoid taking medical assist
(Sekoni et al., 2017).
A major intervantion to
implement this short term
goal can be, to improve the
administrative inefficiency.
There is also a possibility a to
improve the underperfroming
primary care in healthcare
systems of USA.
Health being a vital worry in
United States. There is no way
one can escape from health
problems. However, a crucial
long-term goal can be
implementation of Health
Insurance for all groups of
people without any
discrimination. Moreover, it is
necessary to implement free
healthcare services to all groups
of people (Smith & Medalia,
2014)
A major intervention can be
change healthcare laws for the
poor people to avail all sort of
Medical Facilities.
People associated with Jobs
must be provided enough
health care fundings to secure
their health.
Goal evaluation is one the important factor
that comes into play after implementation
of necessary actions. However, short term
goals can be evaluated by a short survey in
the healthcare facilities and among
different groups of people. It will also be
necessary to keep a close eye on the
performance of Healthcare facilities.
Moreover, medicinal requirements should
also be addressed with utmost care.
Moreover, lower groups of people
suffering from Cancer and Obesity should
be taken care in order to improve their
condition (Law, Kratzer, & Dhalla, 2014).
Long term can only be evaluated after
certain period with a major survey among
the people and healthcare facilities.
Usually, it is achievable with extensiveness
of Insurance benefits. Usually, cancer,
obesity and diabetes rate of USA are pretty
high. It will also be seen when a insurance
policies cover the entire family. Most
often, insurance policies cover a single
person. As per the survey, it will also be
necessary to cover the entire family of the
person (Sommers, B.D., Gawande, A.A.
and Baicker, 2017).
