The techniques and execution of the Affordable Care Act was largely affected by a decline of insured people back in 2013. The decline of uninsured individuals suggests that the Affordable Care Act is conducive to the betterment of health in the population.
However, there is still a lot of effort to be done by the end of 2015. Above 28 million people were still to be insured in the United States. The nurses of the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) suggested access to excellent health care are considered as a fundamental human right.
According to The Huffington Post, one thing is evident that the lack of insurance aid directly affects the access to basic health care services. People who are uninsured are having a bigger threat of being on an adverse health risk as compared to people who are insured.
Researchers have shown and proved this fact as well as that those people who are uninsured go through some hardships because they don't have access to the health care units and they are less probable to take advantage of preventive, recommended, and follow-up caretaking in a notice the prescriptions, according to HHS.
These factors can have fatal consequences. This gives us the idea that people who are uninsured will have bad health conditions compared to people with an insurance policy. Private insurances are just one reason there are institutional and cultural difficulties that prevent access to care.
Some further factors include the unavailability of medical heath care for lawfully present immigrants, people with difference in language, religion, and customs as well as discrimination in sexual orientation and sexual category, mental and behavioral fitness problems, race, background, and livelihood in rural areas.
It will surely take a lot of effort to overcome such barriers, and nurses have the potential to do so if they do it by keeping in mind the barriers as well as by putting all the effort in a legal way and by staying in their limits.
