An+Introduction+to+Healthcare+Issues

From a website called Nursing Online Education Database, I learned about three main issues of health care in the United States. The first is that people are uninsured. This is a major problem in the United States because health insurance is expensive and although all people should have it, not all people can afford it. The next health care issue is obesity. Obesity is a large problem in the United States because obesity can lead to many health issue such as diebetes, strokes, and heart disease. Obesity is also a big issue in the United States because there is a high obesity rate. One last important issue of health care which is existent in the United States is shortage of employed doctors and nurses at hospitals. This is another important issue because when there are few doctors and nurses working many hours of the day, they often feel tired from a day's work. If they feel tired, they are less likely to perform well and can make mistakes during procedures. Theses three issues of health care are very important, but are not the only issues which Americans face every day. On the next couple pages, you will read about the Republican and Demopcratic veiws of helath care in the United States.
