Question

Hippocrates, who admonished physicians to first, do no harm, also stated, in abundance, there is lack. interpret the latter in regard to american health care.

Answer 1

The phrase "for in abundance, there is lack" means that still, with all the help that you can get, you will never have enough. In relation to the American healthcare system, it seems that albeit the lowered cost of health care and improved services through technology and integration it seems that a lot of Americans are still dissatisfied with the current system. Unlike other countries, the United States has alloted much of its budget on the healthcare system. Patients have been diagnosed and treated sometimes by multiple physicians at a time so as to provide the most accurate care. However, even with all these help and assistance, it seems that it will never be enough and always lacking for some.
