Healthcare.....Wow?!! What Can I Say???

In class today Wendy asked everyone to write for fifteen minutes none stop, without picking up our pens. At first I really didn't know what to write about but I ended up accomplishing the goal.


I picked healthcare as my subject because its such a giant issue all over the nation. I don't understand how the United States is suppose to be so financially stable but turns down people who does not have health insurance. I first became interested with this issue after I watched the Denzel Washington and Kimberley Elise movie John Q. In the movie the doctors at the hospital turned down the family all because John's insurance from his job did not cover their son. I've heard of HMO but I really don't know that much about it. I have come to realize that the reasoon why doctors never really tell you your diagnosis until you are half past dead is because they want more money, whether you have it or not. You go to the doctor's office, they check your ears, and listen to your heart with that cold stethoscope and tell you that you have a common cold when you really have lung cancer. I think doctors are lazy and greedy and only wants your money. ( Well some at least.) I think that the issue is with healthcare is really crazy. Isn't that the reason why doctor's offices and hospitals where built, too take care of the citizens of the community. What's the deal? = However, I really do not know everything I could know about this issue. As one student stated in class about how Hillary Clinton viewed healthcare. I really didn't know what she was talking about. I plan to brush up on my research about this whole ordeal. If anything I would love to try and help solve this problem, not only locally but nationally as well. I love the thought of helping people. As the saying goes...."Its better to give than to receive." I absolutely love giving.

Well that's all I really have to say about healthcare today....but don't worry I will be back.
