Hw 32

I find our society to be very selfish, it's scary to think that if I need intense medical attention I may be rejected because one I don't have health care or two if I do have health care it might not cover everything I need. What's so difficult about giving out free health care or plans that benefit the patients not the greedy government? After this unit I am going to take a lot better care of my body because as I get older I don't want to worry about what is going to happen god forbid I need to go to the hospital for something I could have prevented.

After hearing about many student's illness and death projects I found something very peculiar, in other countries (although they might night be as wealthy as us Americans) give if not free a balanced price for medical attention, such as China and Canada. If America did this I believe they might gain more income and many patients will be a lot more satisfied. Also certain statistics could be raised or lowered depending on the statistic. Overall America should be more opened minded about how they plan on helping American medical patients in the future.

  1. Aside from a few grammatical and spelling errors, your post was very interesting. I especially liked this part; "After this unit I am going to take a lot better care of my body because as I get older I don't want to worry about what is going to happen god forbid I need to go to the hospital for something I could have prevented." I congratulate you on making a decision like that. I really hope you follow through and this decision makes your quality of life better.

  2. I found your post very insightful and I agree on your ideas-our society is indeed greedy and its silly how we do not have free health care. Its actually not that difficult because a lot of other countries as you mentioned-have universal free health care. A line in particular I liked was,"Overall America should be more opened minded about how they plan on helping American medical patients in the future." I found this very deep-and I do agree that by being more accepting we can have a better system for the ill and dying.

  3. Steph - You seem to have a better understanding of your personal views on the subject of illness and dying. It seems clear that you are aware of the medical system in the United States and in other countries. I think to be informed is very important. "Over all I think Americans should be more open-minded..." How do you think you can help to shift the perspective of the country? What can we do as the next generation to change the way our country views the world? You seem to be on to something, I want to hear more!
