The COVID-19 pandemic has had a marked impact on healthcare businesses since 2020. Healthcare organizations suffered greatly from financial stress coupled with disruptions in national and global supply chains. Healthcare workers and patients alike experienced significant downturns in their physical and mental health. Large government and legislative reforms were enacted to combat the progression of the pandemic. This paper explores these areas in detail in order to provide a clearer understanding of the successes and inadequacies that exist within the United States healthcare system as illuminated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Given the increasing prevalence of telomere research in the healthcare field, this paper first analyzes how newfound discoveries in the domain link to aging, and then explores how research has found a correlation between telomere shortening and health complications in particular age-related diseases. Afterwards, the complications faced by elderly populations due to age-related diseases and chronic conditions are discussed, including the association between increased chronic conditions and increased out-of-pocket expenditures. Then, a general overview about how aging has impacted the US healthcare system is addressed, including aspects such as healthcare expenditures, Medicare, access to resources, and overcrowding. A brief overview of how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted access to healthcare and brought about discussion of reform is also mentioned. Full article

Over the past few decades, healthcare expenditures in the United States have increased due to a variety of different factors. Depending on their insurance plans, Americans have varying levels of health insurance coverage and may need to make co-payments or pay fully for specific health services. According to multiple studies, health insurance does appear to increase the utilization of healthcare services, except emergency services. Demographic factors such as age, citizenship, and race/ethnicity, as well as the type of health service demanded, all appear to influence the consumption of healthcare in the United States. However, many existing studies conducted in this area are not experimental or randomized, which may result in a lack of validity of the estimated relationship between insurance and healthcare utilization due to confounding variables. A new experimental study, similar to the RAND HIE study, is needed to provide insight into the current relationships between insurance and healthcare utilization, taking into consideration changes in legislation.

A variety of factors have an influential impact on how an enterprise develops. This study examined factors that operate as market barriers to entrepreneurship in the United Arab Emirates. These factors are fear of failure, risk aversion, lack of social networking, lack of resources, political instability, and economic instability. A survey-based approach framework was used. This survey recruited 150 participants, including UAE students, business owners, and budding entrepreneurs. Multiple-item survey questionnaires and secondary data were used in the data analysis process to identify and evaluate the barriers preventing people from starting new businesses and becoming entrepreneurs in the United Arab Emirates. According to the research results, fear of failure, risk aversion, and lack of resources in the United Arab Emirates make it difficult for business owners to launch brand new business ventures.
