Peer response: need 1 reference with in text citation, minimum 100 words for each    

Education in family planning, promoting rights to birth control is what nurse activist Margaret Sanger devoted her entire life to. Her devotion caused her to be jailed for distributing contraceptives to immigrant women from a clinic (Nickitas, Middaugh & Aries, 2014). Margaret Sanger was a nurse that worked in poverty stricken neighborhoods where she could provide education to woman regarding their rights to birth control, family planning and the importance of using contraceptives to decrease unwanted pregnancies. She had many people working with her to help spread the word for woman’s rights. The Arkansas Nurses association held a convention to help nurses gain awareness for education, gain knowledge on nursing theory and help promote professional growth and development (Arkansas Nurses Association, 2014).

The policy can change when it passes through legislation and decided by the elected officials enact it into law. Nurses can help improve the decision-making process by working outside the government by forming coalitions to influence the decision-making process (Nickitas, Middaugh & Aries, 2014). Nurses should advocate for patients by using their critical thinking skills when trying to influence within the organization.

A policy that need advocating for is nursing staff shortages. Patients seem to be more critical when being admitted to the hospital. With short staff it becomes difficult to care for patients the way they deserve. Patients have rights when it comes to receiving care, receiving quality effective care is important to positive health outcomes. Patient safety is compromised with every shift that is short staffed. Many errors occur when nurses must work shorthanded (Westrick, 2014).

When trying to influence policy changes or making policies it is important to understand the interest groups, their influence, and the stakeholders involved (Mund, 2012). The policy framework is the identification of the problem and the causes of the problem (Weston, Brewer, & Peterson, 2012). When an idea is thought for the problem then it is added to an agenda. Elected officials then decide on policies through a legislative process (Nickitas, Middaugh, & Aries, 2016). Then the policy can be implemented as an extension of the policy creation and process.

Nurse Sanger did not want any more women dying from illegal abortions. She started to organize protests to bring attention to the issue and health care inequality women were receiving (Nickitas, Middaugh, & Aries, 2016). This was challenging given the time in history this was taking place. Given the time in history she would have to make compelling arguments for women and birth control (Nickitas, Middaugh, & Aries, 2016). A turning point was when Nurse Sager was arrested in 1917 for distributing contraceptives to immigrant women from a clinic while demanding for services for the poor that are given to the middle class (Nickitas, Middaugh, & Aries, 2016). Her intentions were to shed more light on reproductive services and women’s rights. It worked, physicians were able to prescribe contraceptives and freestanding facilities were built (Nickitas, Middaugh, & Aries, 2016). In 1936 Nurse Sanger won a federal court decision allowing physicians to import contraceptives using the federal mail system (Nickitas, Middaugh, & Aries, 2016). She continued to shape public health initiatives. She lobbied men, women, organizations, and businesses for public health and birth control (Nickitas, Middaugh, & Aries, 2016). She spread her word through writing books and giving lectures across the world. She lobbied at the state legislators for women’s health clinics (Nickitas, Middaugh, & Aries, 2016). She coined the terms birth control and family planning. In 1952 she expanded to London and founded the International Planned Parenthood Federation (Nickitas, Middaugh, & Aries, 2016). Before her death she was able to see many achievements for family planning.

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE THE TERM, “EQUITY AND FAIRNESS”, IN THE CONTEXT OF THE HEALTHCARE SITUATIONS PREVAILING IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA?

Healthcare Synthesis

Using the South University online library, the Internet, and the data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), research comparative international work and compare the United States and Canada with respect to which country is more effective in the areas of (1) economic growth; (2) expenditure (public and private expenditure on health); (3) information and communications technology; and (4) health.

Click here to access data from the OECD.

On the basis of your observations, create a 1- to 2-page report.

Your report should address the following questions:

  • After going through the statistics:
    • What information or statistic you find either surprising or reasonable?
    • Do you anticipate the statistics will be similar in ten years? Why or why not?
  • The current structure of healthcare coverage in the United States has a combination of employer-based coverage and public program (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid) coverage, with a large uninsured population. If a single-payer system is implemented where Medicare is expanded to cover all citizens for those who prefer private insurance, there will be comparable coverage under the same range of private insurance plans already available. Keeping in mind these considerations, answer the following questions:
    • What do you think about allowing some people to purchase additional insurance, thereby creating a two-tier health system based on affordability?
    • What are the advantages and disadvantages of this initiative?
  • Considering the fact that healthcare is not a guaranteed right for everyone in the United States, there are different kinds of barriers and obstacles in obtaining healthcare. In contrast to this fact, the notions of equity and fairness are considered very important. You will notice that these notions aren’t considered when we discuss people’s access to other goods, such as cars and computers.
    • What are these barriers? Give examples of the different barriers to health care under the following headings:
      • Financial barriers
      • Scarcity of healthcare providers
      • Barriers to access healthcare
      • Cultural barriers
      • Barriers of healthcare resources
    • How would you define the term, “equity and fairness”, in the context of the healthcare situations prevailing in the United States and Canada?
    • Why are they considered important when discussing people’s access to care?
  • It is believed that government funded healthcare for all citizens is consistent with a capitalist economy and the cultural values of self-determination and free enterprise.
    • Do you agree with this statement? If not, what other approaches do you think will resolve the current inequities in the system?
