Letter
In
light of the recent Healthcare reform bill, it concerns me as a
Registered Nurse that our government and country as a whole is not
putting more effort and money into preventive health measures. This will
save citizens and taxpayers money and decrease insurance rates.
During
the outbreak of H1N1, the government had a good opportunity to use
public health initiatives to educate citizens. The primary defenses
against any flu should be good hand washing, good nutrition and physical
activity to keep our bodies healthy and able to fight off infection.
Instead, they emphasize vaccines as the first line of defense. In the
immune-compromised and the elderly, they have their place. As many
people had difficulties with the flu they went to the Emergency Room
which overburdened many ER’s because they had no insurance or primary
care services.
With
health care costs at an all time high, the government should be
promoting preventive care. Citizens should see their primary care
physicians or Nurse Practitioner and have access to nutrition programs
and physical activity initiatives instead of having no care and going to
the ER when they are sick or their chronic disease management is out of
control. Prevention is more cost effective than hospital treatment thus
keeping insurance rates down and providing more people with coverage.
