Explanation / Answer

Medical Services in United States of America have not been improvised since long time. Even after the privatization of the Healthcare industry, an idea of standardization as well as immediate healthcare facilities was implemented but it is not there in United States of America in the two-tier Healthcare system. Mostly the insurance companies just a patient need by the money he needed not by the health care systems you want.

These specific practices by the Healthcare networks are totally unethical but they are backed by the laws and privatisation of the Healthcare network is driving this unethical change. As Healthcare is a basic human right, these practices should be stopped and Healthcare should not be judged on the basis of wealth as well as social position.

Canada has been successfully integrating all the Healthcare services with socialization. Best Pacific studies about socializing the Healthcare networks is easily overtaking the American Healthcare industry despite the American Healthcare industry is world's most expensive Healthcare system. Best specific statement is wrong because application of the Canadian policies regarding the health care systems would be very much beneficial for the American Healthcare industry as well. In Healthcare there is nothing related to being Un-American or American. It is the Healthcare network that should be implemented for the betterment of the people.

It is very much required that employees and insurance companies have a link for a better understanding of the financial status regarding the Healthcare network. By having a proper understanding between an employee and ensure they can easily determine the number of Finance available or required for treatment of a patient. Why not relating the treatment to the money, A Healthcare system should provide best treatment available to the customer not by looking at the finance but buy the best selection available.

Providing better basic Healthcare network which is free for all, a country can easily improve their overall health care system. Healthcare is a basic requirement of each and every person in the country and it is also the basic right of that specific person hence, provision of a basic Healthcare system which is funded by the government or any other organisation which would be a public hospital as well as small clinics to ensure the safety of the people without health Insurance is extremely ethical and good for the health care systems.
