It is more expensive for the patient. Also it was adopted because people think they are healthy or they do not have enough money to go to the doctor for every little thing that happens to them. Why the Affordable Care Act can move America towards a Eudemonistic model? • This model is better because you are focusing on your health as a whole and emphasizes the interactions within social, spiritual, physical, and psychological aspects of life.
