Schriber 1 Alexander Schriber Ms. Mouw Composition II 24 February 2012 Annotated Bibliography AHIP. "health care." AHIP. N.p.

, n.d. Web. 15 Feb. 2012. <http://www.ahip.org/>. AHIP is the national trade association that is responcable for representing the health insurinance industry in America. AHIP stands for Americas Health Industy Plans. AHIP helps provide health benefits to over 200-million Americans.

This site claims to be in association with Americas health insurance industy. AHIP has been an advocate for Medicare and Medicaid in both the marketplace and in politics. This site offers a balanced counter-argument. The information on this site is crediable because it comes straight from the companies that AHIP represents.

I intend on using the information for this site to help provide a counter-argument. This counter-argument will help provide my paper with a bit of credibility because it will not sound as one-sided as it could.

This web page is part of the Library of Congresss archives. A summary of Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act (short name: H.R. 676). List of Cosponsors and Committees are linked to this page. A full copy of H.R. 676 is included with the summarized version. Not only does this page offer a complete copy of H.R. 676 but, it is also backed with the credentials of our own Library of Congress. The information on this site can be used a primary source. I plan to fully utilize the summary of this bill. H.R. 676 is the back-bone of my topic. This bill is still a current event of todays media and is even being used as ammunition in the current 2012 presidential election.

An article from the Canadian Medical Association Journal is featured on this page. The high costs of non-profit care is about Americas needless struggle with the private insurance companies and Canadas arguably less intolerable endeavor to maintain free public health coverage for the citizens of Canada.

Even though the article is and exsert for a medical journal, The high costs of non-profit care is an editorial subject to public opinion. No facts or figures are used in this article. I may read this article and analyze it, but I will not source anything from this piece. Avoiding opinion and sticking to the facts may play out in such a way that it may pass my message on with-out failure.

A simple but accurate timeline of the Canadian health-care system and surrounding politics is featured on this page. The Canadian Museum of Civilization is in direct collaboration with the production of this timeline.

The information presented on this timeline provides a nice but broad gateway into the development of the Canadian health-care system. This source helps provide the process to achieve a successful socialized health medical service in America.

I will use this timeline in collaboration with Americas faulty history with the same problem. This will help me develop a clear and concise connection with Americans and our own health-care industry.

Schriber 5 "Comparison of the health care systems in Canada and the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia." Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. N.p., n.d. Web. 6 Feb. This Wikipedia page is comparing the health care systems of Canada and the United States. Starting with a small bar chart, the page further explores the differences between the two countries health care systems and policies. Many subjects are discussed in this page: government involvement, wait times, prices, outcomes, impact on the economy, politics. A list of references and external links is provided at the bottom of the web page.

The information provided by Wikipedia and other Wiki sites can be useful, but is not usually considered viable as a resource. Wiki sites lack creditability because anyone can edit the content of these pages. However, they can be very knowledgeable in regards to locating or searching for additional sources. Information from this page should not be referenced in the research paper.

I do not intend to reference the information from this site. I will instead utilize the sources that this wiki page has provided to further my research. Any information from the page will be found on a different source if I intend to use it.

Schriber 7 "Final Report of the Federal Advisor on Wait Times." Health Canada Web site. N.p., n.d. Web. 11 Feb. 2012. <http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hcs-sss/pubs/system-regime/2006-wait-attente/index-eng .php>.

The Government of Canada has provided in a branch of their main website information about their health-care system. This includes statistics and paradigms that are directly related to the satisfaction, quality, and costs of the care in Canada.

This site provides invaluable and indisputable proof and facts of the success of the medical services of a nation that is healthy without the presence of health care as being run by big business.

I would be fool not to utilize the information from not only the Canadian government but also the American government and all of the other socialized health care nations. Developing the connections to the American government and the costs and benefits of this system could be one of the ways I convince my readers.

Schriber 8 "Global Immunization Data." Who int. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Jan. 2012. <www.who.int/immunization_monitoring/Global_Immunization_Data.pdf>.

The World Health Organization is responcible for the information on this pdf. This includes facts and numbers about immunization rates and infection rates. Also included, are charts and diagrams.

This is another source that provides factual and accurate information about the nations with free health services. This helps solidify the pressure for the reader to accept my stance on this issue.

One of my goals is to present my case without sound like a lunatic or conspiracy nut. By using the facts on this page along with the charts and graphs, I can state my point-of-view on this matter without seeming to pushy.

Schriber 9 Goldstein, Avram. "Home." Health Care for America NOW!. N.p., n.d. Web. 1 Feb. 2012. <healthcareforamericanow.org/>. This website is devoted to a health-care movement. It mainly focuses on the concepts of affordable health-care in America. Socialized health services or universal health-care are not discussed on this site; the site only purpose it to rally for affordable-heath care.

The information on this site is too bias. Predictions dominate a majority of the site and lack current data. The site also is about a health care reform prior to 2010. There are a few useful parameter about congress on this site.

I will not use much, if any, from this site. I find the information on this site dated. Much of the site is based on the past proposed-reform. However, the possible outcomes and reprocussions of the health care system can still be of use to me in my research process. The information seems a bit too shallow for use in my paper. The page also mentions information that is usually considered common knowledge.

Schriber 10 "H.R. 676." MEDICARE for ALL!. N.p., n.d. Web. 2 Feb. 2012. <http://www.medicareforall.net/1index.html>.

This site focuses on political news in regards to new health care policies and reform. This particular page references H.R. 676 and its summary within its contents. Featured are and article about the bill and a comprehensive summary of the opionions of the author of the artice.

Honestly, I find this site to by shady and filled with opinion and ruckus rather than using the facts and parameters of the bill that they so humbly recollect. This site offers no authoritative support and will not be useful in my campaign.

This site does surface some interesting points and stances on the bill, but does not use facts to back them up. It would seem that this site would possible hinder my case if used.

Schriber 11 "HMO." MedicareHMO. N.p., n.d. Web. 18 Feb. 2012. <http://www.medicarehmo.com/>.

This is an interactive online glossary and fact sheet about the American health-care industry and the lingo used by the lawyers and politicans responcible for our current health care industy.

A site like this provides a lot of definitions to terminology and some public intelligence on this matter. Including definitions to some not-so-everyday words in my paper could benefit the cause.

The information on this site will be considered for use whenever I encounter a term that I do not know or necciarly know how to explain to my readers. I have no intention of bafalling my readers by throwing rarely used terminology at them.

Schriber 12 "Health Status." OECD Statistics. N.p., n.d. Web. 8 Feb. 2012. <http://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?DataSetCode=HEALTH_STAT>.

As the title suggests, this is a compilation of the data retrieved by the Organization for Co-operation and Development. All if the data presented in this database pertains to the medical statuses of all of the OECD countries including the United States, France, Japan, Britin, Canada, and others.

The profound lack of opinion and causation in this work makes it a vaulauble source for me to use a support for standing claims of causation, but not to develop or derive my own explaination for the state of our health care industry.

Pure data like this makes me tick. I will be able to utilize this effectively without a forceful impact on a singular level, but combined with other facts could make a huge impact in the opinion of my readers.
