HealthCare disparities in America. Health disparities is a really important healthcare issue, so write an issues paper. Discuss the issue from two viewpoints (ie. Pro and con) and choose one to support. I think most would agree that health disparities are a problem – you might find it easier to focus on a more specific issue related to health disparities such as access to care for nondocumented/illegal immigrants (or another underserved group). The pro might be that we need to reduce health disparities and healthcare is a right, while a con could be related to healthcare spending. I am over-simplifying, but I want to illustrate how the issue should be explored. Please explore the pros and cons of healthcare disparities from several angles and uses several recent articles or data sources to support your claims.
Guidelines that must be met:
1. Give a brief account of the current status of the issue.
2. Discuss why you believe this issue is significant to nursing or health care. 3. Discuss the potential impact that the issue might have on health or nursing.
4. Discuss the impact of the issue from both a positive and negative point of view.
5. Take a pro or con position on this issue’s impact on health care policy and describe an action you would want nursing’s professional organization to take.
6. Give the rationale for your position
7. Document sources of information used to support your points using the APA style manual for citation and reference formatting.
