Response 1<\/p>\n

The issue is not only if life is priceless. The issue is whether the life is also worth living. What is the quality of life at that point? Hospitals will put a price on what a life will cost, but families rarely consider that when it means a matter of life and death. During 9\/11, an individual was tasked with helping to determine what families would need for compensation who were experiencing a loss of a loved one or were injured (What is your life worth? This man knows; If you die in a tragedy like 9\/11, calculations must be made, lawyer Kenneth Feinberg tells Guy Kelly, 2021). Every story received a number based off a calculation made early in the process (What is your life worth? This man knows; If you die in a tragedy like 9\/11, calculations must be made, lawyer Kenneth Feinberg tells Guy Kelly, 2021). Did this help some of the families with their grief? Likely not. Would they rather have not sustained the traumatic experience and go home with their loved one? Yes. That is the difference. Trauma and emotional impact make the difference for what a life is worth (Battan, 2020). This is made on a person by person basis and it will differ by who you ask.<\/p>\n

In the video, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What is a Life Worth,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd the panel discussed the issue of whether or not life is priceless when it comes to healthcare. I agree with Milken\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s view that life is priceless. As mentioned in the video, with increasing unemployment rates and increasing costs of healthcare premiums, Americans can no longer afford healthcare even when they really need it. According to JAMA, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153minorities and underserved populations report lower healthcare satisfaction, greater discrimination and higher rates of potentially avoidable procedures, hospitalizations and readmission (Fiscella, et. al., 2000). Health care is experiencing an older and sicker generation of patients. In order to better treat these kinds of patients, better technological advances and treatments are needed which increases the costs of healthcare. As a result, many people are now experiencing financial strain and often cannot afford vital treatment options. Having access to health insurance can provide peace of mind and improvements to financial and health conditions. (Kim, et.al, 2022). In my current healthcare setting of school nursing, many parents must be provided resources in order to comply with the health needs of their child. In most cases, parents experience socioeconomic hardship and cannot tend to their children’s needs. This often prevents nurses as healthcare providers from providing high-quality care.<\/p>\n
