Identify local health services in the following areas: health promotion
1)Identify local health services in the following areas: health promotion, illness prevention, diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Judging from the number of agencies for each service, where does the health care emphasis seem to be? What implications does this have for citizens of your community?(we live in charleston, South Carolina)
2) What process should be used to determine how health care resources are allocated? List criteria you would suggest to determine whether a person should receive a kidney transplant, a hip replacement, or a bone marrow transplant. Should ability to pay play a role in the decision? Why or why not?

Over the last several years, the United States healthcare system, has been working on allowing all citizens of the U.S. to be available to healthcare. (Black 303). Although the U.S. favors a free-market economy, the federal government has taken steps to ensure certain groups have access to health care through publicly funded programs including: Medicare and Medicaid (Black 304). Multiple steps should be considered when allocating health care services. Decisions should include normal societal values, and there should be no biased or discriminative opionions among people. The public, insurers, and physicians should be allowed input of health care resources. An effective plan to conserve and distribute health care will help to elimate inequalities and enable proper health care to all Americans. Whether an individual is covered by insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or other sources of payment, individuals should recieve the same care. In regards to if a patient needs a kidney tansplant and they can not afford it, they still get on the list. If a kidney becomes available, they will recieve that kidney. As a nurse, it does not matter if a patient can afford their medical bills. It doesnt effect the care in which the patient will recieve. The patient should be treated the same reguardless of their income, and should be provided with the same medical treatment as patient who was able to afford their medical bills.
