Explanation of Solution

Health crisis is a complex health system that impacts the humans living in a specific geographic area or several areas and has significant impact on the loss of lives, draining economy and the community health. A health crisis can be a result of diseases, production processes and unnecessary/poor policies. Politicians tend to hide and misguide the individuals on certain health crises in covering up their responsibility in avoiding such scenarios and also to avoid showcasing their lack of awareness on the said health crisis while poorly communicating of risks to the society. As a result, such politicians fail in making the relevant preventative steps appropriately causing the crisis to spread rapidly across other geographical areas. United States is facing a situation of health crisis where the health care spending seems to be extremely high. Though, the government of US has noticed the requirement of acquiring modern medical technology, they have failed in providing relevant health care services at an affordable price range that has caused the poor to live with their illnesses without any medications or even suffer from debts.
