With an effective public health system, the nation can run productively and profitably. However an effective public health system does not come on a silver platter but requires lots of financing and funding for systems to be effectively and efficiently in order. To ensure public health financing, congress has a responsibility for it determines the broader outlines and priorities if the United states global health efforts and provides funding for the United States public health agencies and departments and also oversee the conduct and effectual impacts of such efforts. Congress introduces, considers, and passes legislations and carries oversight activities. The president is responsible for appointing key United States global public health positions to carry out the effective processes. The president ascends to bills to make sure that they are put to law to ensure funding and working of the bills which carry and promote public health (Gulliford, Tan, & Karim, 2015).
Block grants are lump sums that are given to states and local authorities for general use and services by the federal government, for instance community development services. Normally there are very few strings attached to block grants and offer lots of discretion to the state and local authorities in the ways of spending them. Block grants are made to boost services in the local and state governments for instance in public health care services for the less fortunate and low-income persons in the society. They are different from personal health care for they cover a comprehensively numerous numbers of beneficiaries on same services but not individual specific services. They compare funding for personal care in that they too fund personal group identified care services (Gulliford, Tan, & Karim, 2015).
To improve the entitlement system, I will impose and establish better transparent systems that are well known from the grass roots with the beneficiaries well identified and sorted. The entitlement system needs lots of correction and transparency, something I will give priority (Gulliford, Tan, & Karim, 2015).
