The Future of Health Care in Florida

Paper Summary:

The paper begins by giving a history of government involvement in healthcare in America. It looks at federal, state and local roles of government in the provision of health-care services and the problems that the "working-poor" have with access to healthcare. It then focuses on the state of Florida as a state where healthcare problems are particularly acute, owing to the demographic features of the state and its position as a major tourist attraction. After specifying challenges, the paper proposes a strategic plan for dealing with the system that is in crisis.

From the Paper:

"At the beginning of the 21st century, the American health care system is showing significant signs of stress. The state of Florida will not escape the problems faced by the country as a whole, in fact, specific demographic features of the state, such as its large number of older Americans and the large number of Floridians working in the service sector -- will mean that the challenges of providing access to health care will be particularly acute in Florida."
