Medical Care become public health Responsibility Reply 1 Teacher: Hi, Isn't that frustrating to hear that despite the United States been at the forefront in terms of technology and research, death rates in the country are still high? I am still wondering what could be the reason why universal care provision for everyone is not on the minds of our politicians and the congress. What steps do you think the government needs to take to be able to afford medical services for everyone? Dr. O. Medical Care become public health Responsibility Reply to Priscilla: Medical care is associated with public health. Medical care provide care that is needed to restore or maintain the health of each person and deals with prevention, diagnosis, and treatments of every individual. Public health improve and protect the health of everyone and also focus on the prevention of diseases. Medical care can save many lives and prevent individuals from suffering, which is necessary for public health. Medical care becomes a public health responsibility when there are some forms of medical care that are more important to the community's health than the others. What is particularly important is medical treatment of communicable diseases because of the possibility that one sick person could infect many others (Schneider, 2017, p. 418). As a result, this is when public health start to take responsibility in every part of infectious disease control. One of the problem that is associated with the lack of access to health care is people with low socioeconomic status. The increasing high cost of health care is too much for people with low income to afford, which limit their access to health care. Another problem is insufficient or no insurance coverage. The lack of insurance coverage can make it very difficult for individuals to get the health care that they need. When they are able to finally get the care that they need, they are burden with huge medical bills, which can put them at risk of medical debts. The last problem is the lack of available services, which limit the amount of people who can receive health care. Specifically, with aging populations, access to care is a public health matter because as people aged, they become more susceptible to disease and disability. The disease and disability that are common in later life is related to the unhealthy behavior in earlier years (Schneider, 2017, p. 476). In this case, the aging populations would need more access to better health care in order to prevent disease and disability in old age. This is why having access to care is a public health matter because it can help to improve the quality of life for the elderly. References Schneider, M. (2017).

Return to your Module 2 lecture and discuss how you responded to the Explanations Exercise Examples by way of the lecture. Tell us how you answered each and your reasoning in doing so. The exercise is attached, and also in Files.  Respond to the five items and number them. Respond to two classmates. Student 1  “The mixture exploded because it became too hot.” Explanans “Arthur is disturbed because of the events that happened during his childhood.” Explanans “It should be considered an armed robbery since he carried a gun.” Explanandum “It has been five years since he carried a gun.” Explanandum “Democracy is the best form of government because it involves majority rule and gives everyone a voice in decisions.” Explanans I answered them this way because I was thinking of explanans explain the result and explanans being the start of the topic of the claim. Student 2  Exercise: Explanations “The mixture exploded because it became too hot.” - This is an explanation. Explanandum is "The mixture exploded." Explanans is "because it became too hot." “Arthur is disturbed because of the events that happened during his childhood.” - This passage is an explanation. Explanandum; "Arthur is disturbed." Explanans; "because of the events that happened during his childhood." “It should be considered armed robbery since he carried a gun.” - This is an argument. “It has been five years since he carried a gun.” - This is an Explanans "It has been five years since he carried a gun." “Democracy is the best form of government because it involves majority rule and gives everyone a voice in decisions.” - This is an argument.
