Volunteering Services in Exchange for Health Care Coverage
Volunteers provide services that would otherwise cost society financially. This source can be accessed in order to lower the cost of health care. People can be offered an incentive program to volunteer in the health industry. If they are given credits they can use for health care coverage, people will be more likely to volunteer.
This volunteer time can include training periods where people learn to provide quality care. This may teach people to practice health prevention in their own lives. Training volunteers to perform basic functions will free nurses to focus on higher risk patients. This will also ensure that more qualified personnel will be available in case of an emergency.
Universal Healthcare coverage has become the buzzword in Washington. A Volunteer based solution to coverage will help to hold back the underlying problem of rising healthcare costs. Cost containment is vital to resolving our healthcare crisis. We must remove greed from healthcare.
