Health Care Over Regulated
Health Care Over Regulated
Health care is over regulated based on the fact that, a discussion of health care reform inevitably includes money wasted on health care regulation. An average of 53.5 million Americans are unable to access health insurance and consequently, majority of the people are unable to seek appropriate health care due to cost and the ones who opt to seek health care services are usually overburdened by the cost. The suffering encountered in the system of health care stems from attributing the current system to money rather that the people (Colquitt, Sommer & Godwin, 2005).
According to the information from Cato Institute, the cost associated with health care regulation is in excess of $340 billion. Additionally, the benefits derived from regulation of health services are in excess of $170 billion thus resulting to a net burden of regulation of health services of approximately $170 billion. This has the implication of a waste of resources on regulation of health care that has no important purpose. The government has the duty of alleviating the problem through possibly creation of programs that allow the use of private coverage that is available in universities by the students instead of the ones that are supplemented by the state which will facilitate for a lower cost of health care and the state burden to the students (Butler & Ribstein, 2008).
The requirement for implementation of evidence-based medicine calls for a corresponding implementation of evidence-based regulation by the federal government. Excessive cost associated with over-regulation should be eliminated or drastically reduced, the starting point of which is the adoption of a simplified as well as a stripped down set of regulations. The existing regulations that are marked with negative cost:benefit ratio along with the ones that lack an evidence-based rationale must be eliminated. The basis of this development should be the factual evidence in addition to improved health care quality.

Students pursuing social work degrees must go through internships in preparation for their future careers. A social work internship refers to a professional program offered to students that are about to graduate in social work by organizations. It is also offered to degree holders looking to have field experience. Social work internships often focus on entry-level tasks that mirror the actual duties of a job and are meant to prepare students for more advanced roles and responsibilities. Depending on their line of work, social work interns are often involved in various assessments. For instance, social work interns are expected to assist in carrying out psychosocial assessments. This entails evaluating family strengths, anticipating family problems, and helping colleagues develop and implement creative solutions. Additionally, social work interns are expected to collaborate with the treatment team, including other clinical social workers, nurses, physicians, and rehabilitation counselors, in designing treatment plans for the patients (Shea, 2019). Moreover, social work interns are also required to assist with mental health assessments. Interns have the mandate to manage caseloads both independently and with the help of other people. More specifically, social interns can help manage and provide mental health treatment to families with children with developmental issues and disabilities.
Furthermore, social work interns can also help with group therapy assessments. They can work with adolescents that are in custody as a result of emotional or behavioral problems. In this regard, interns can independently conduct multiple groups and individual therapy sessions in a week. Additionally, social workers can be of service to the community by providing outpatient services. This includes connecting Veterans to homemaker services, home health services and other outpatient community resources. Worth noting, in collaboration with other social workers, social work interns can help co-facilitate Dialectical Behavior Therapy( DBT) and sex offender treatment for adult groups. In executing these duties, interns acquire new skills and hone already existing ones. Internship placement allows students to observe, document, and study the performance of their colleagues and professionals in that sector. Other duties required of social work interns include drafting agendas, case management, and evaluating client needs and treatment options. Students must complete the required milestones of their practicum as it is the only way that can be used to analyze their experience.

The similarities portrayed by the Native American and the African American groups can be linked to the long-term interaction the two groups have had for centuries. The two groups have shared histories, families, communities, and various ways of life. There unity between the two groups has been enhanced by similar struggles. One remarkable case of unity is during the struggle of ending slavery, as well as dispossession in the US (Myers, 2007). They also struggled for freedom and self-determination. These struggles contribute to similarities, which have brought the two cultures together in recent years. The attempt to initiate segregation was hardly successful due to the arrival of non-native people in the US.
The aspect of working cooperatively was initiated by the role each racial group played in history, but in the recent years, these similarities less distinguished roles have changed the way the world views the two American groups into two groups joined with similar cultures and social practices (Myers, 2007). This aspect took shape after November 15 2009, when the respective National Museum of each group decided to conjunct to present the “IndiVisible: African-Native American Lives in the Americas.” This exhibit was initiated to focus on two groups and their interactions (DeVenney, 2008).
Despite the portrayed similarities, the major issue is that the US is faced with major cases of discrimination against members of these groups. At times of national issue, of or problems facing all Americans almost equally, the two groups would join hands to fight against the problem. This could happen through protests, but the voice-shared protests are too infrequently initiated. The relationship among members of the two racial groups seems complex with the complexity dating back to the colonial America. During the colonial America period, both African-Americans and Indian-Americans had limited rights and they united to fight for their rights from the Europeans (Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture , 2013).
The US government has imposed many restriction but the two racial groups have managed to maintain close bonds even during the colonial period when the British government hardly advocated for the freeing of slaves. Some Native American families went against the law and freed many slave. Both groups faced the same fate as they struggled for their freedom. They equally faced cruelty, prejudice, death, torture, and neglect among other problems. This gives them the motive to come together as one American group, which sees not physical or origin related differences, but works under one goal, the American dream (Smithsonian Institution, 2013 ).
