Ethical and Practical Issues for uninsured

            The uninsured patients upsurge the costs of the community in the health care system.  The influence is similar to issue on when the taxpayers do not pay their taxes or when any other person takes advantage from any government agency.  When there is the high rate of uninsurance in the community, there are also many effects to those who are insured in the same community.  The uninsured affects the insured in ways such as they make the insured have a less likely source of care and delays in the care system.  This brings the effect even to the nation based on the financial crisis where the uninsured are being the first in the department of emergency in the health care life (Institute of Medicine, 2002). 

            There is also the inadequate health care of the insured in the community as they are declined in the health payments and are also threatening the aptitude of the physicians of providing every person with the adequate care.  If this way of having many uninsured people increases, the ACPE calls in for the expansion of the health care coverage for those uninsured.  This has been increased by people taking the greatest role in the leadership systems as they build a national awareness in building the global health coverage.  The health care brings in many forms of important ethical features.  These ethical issues include the moral approaches of the reform, the code of ethics a guiding role and the public health access to the care. The main reason for these moral issues is because people in America need the health care systems to be affordable.  If both the subjects and the society spend more money in the health care, then there will be no resources that will be left for the other things needed (Institute of Medicine, 2002).
