Health Care
There are millions of americans that dont have health care! Every year thousands of die because they cant get medical treatment without health care. Now we have passed a law to make public healthcare for everyone in the US. I can not say i agree with this. A bout a year ago, I read an article written by a doctor and sent to the Obama administration about health care. He spoke of one girl who came into the hospital for testing and stuff. This young woman had expensive jewelry on, long manicured nails, an iphone and expensive shoes. The doctor was shocked when he realized that she was on financial aid and that's how she would be paying her medical fees. He thinks that the problem with health care isn't that its too expensive its the american culture to spend money on things that we don't need. In many senses i agree with that. Why would someone pay for health insurance if they can have someone else pay for it. I don't think that's right and i feel like when you offer things like financial aid and free health care that a lot of people will take advantage of it. Some people really do need help to get back on their feet but that's exactly what these benefits are suppose to be.. help to get people back on their feet not life support for people to live off of. I feel like the system needs to be made more strict so that people cant take advantage of it. It a very hard to find the balance so that the people who need it get help and those who try to take advantage cant get it.
