Step-by-step explanation

The ethical and historical contexts of the health policy

Since 1965, health policies have undergone significant renovations that have almost satisfied all US citizens. In 1965, we had them bring in the social security benefits, which involved some of the payments being done by medicare, leaving the rest for the patients. This was not enough for the patient, especially those from poor backgrounds. The presidents who then came after that ensured they made at least some improvement until the year 2010 when the patient protection and affordable care act came into control. The act provided comprehensive health care insurance and benefits such as ambulatory patient services and hospitalization, among others. Health workers were also to ensure equitable health care to workers with no discrimination of color or social-economic status. This significantly impacted improved ethics in the health facilities (Kaiser Health News,).

How can the health policy have a potential impact on you personally and professionally?

       I.           It may cause modification of our duties.

Due to changes in policies, it is evident today that nurses spend most of their time in offices other than taking care of patients.

     II.           It may trigger me to add to my education.

There may come policies in the future that may engage doing away with associate nurses, and I will be required to acquire a bachelor's degree or a doctorate to qualify.

   III.           It may increase my job satisfaction.

Policies such as interprofessional collaboration brought about by a change of policies may increase my morale and make me feel comfortable in an organization (Arabi, 2014)
