Extra, Extra, Read all about it
OK, although, the movie in class is pretty much bias, it did have a lot of things that I did agree with. It was somethings that i did disagreed with, but i agreed more than disagreed. Somethings i felt was agreeable but the change made to help or support that was disagreeable. i agree that unfare treatment is at hand. Medical supples is costly in the United States of American. Treatment for things that are life and death situations are the most expensive like cancer treatment or things of that nature. People with health care coverage are being supported for needs of their body but what if their health care runs out. What do i mean? What if a person or their family have a certain condition that needs to be treaated and the exspenses added up leaving them broke or eventhe possibility of having to move in with their parents or children like a family on the movie. What about the people who dont have a penny for health coverage for them-self or their childern? What about the people being sent away when in need and they have no money to pay for treatment? What about the high cost to fill a prescription? I know all of this seem so messed up, right. That the same way i feel. Why be one of the wealthiest country with a horrible health system. That why i have a solution.
If any thing I think that the movie had some great points where i agree with other countries ways, but there is some things that i didn’t agree with. If we take the the things that was a good idea in differnet countries and in our own, because ours not just plan and simply horrific, we can come up with a better health system. And with different and better ideas the system can change more and more for the better for the people of the United States of America. First, all medication should have a min. and a max. price. the prices should all be the same and not based on the conditin of the user and why they need it. Doctor should get payed by what good they have done for their patients. If their patients have little to No improvements they should not recieve that nice pay check. If they take the time to earn their money by curing this patient, stop this one from smoking, improve their health and so on, they yearly salary should increase. Medical supples should be payed for by required donations from U.S. citizens, because people should not have to pay for health care. Although, a yearly amount should be donated to medical supples base on the people income. I know things seem scary when you change things but if you at least change things little by little a difference will be made.I actually know someone who had to use someone else health plan to get work done to him and his family teeth. Crazy right. Crazy times cause for crazy measures. I repeat y be one of the richest countries with one of the worst health care system.
Sen. Obamahttp://www.barackobama.com/issues/healthcare/.
Reduce Costs and Save a Typical American Family up to $2,500 as reforms phase in:
- Lower drug costs by allowing the importation of safe medicines from other developed countries, increasing the use of generic drugs in public programs and taking on drug companies that block cheaper generic medicines from the market
- Require hospitals to collect and report health care cost and quality data
- Reduce the costs of catastrophic illnesses for employers and their employees.
- Reform the insurance market to increase competition by taking on anticompetitive activity that drives up prices without improving quality of care.
This are some of the same changes that can be made to change United States health for the better for all people. Change is good but Good change is better. Those are just some of my ideas and Sen. Obama. There are just ideas but y not take them into consideration.

Good post, you gathered a lot of statistics that made your point more clear to the readers. This is a very talked about topic, but the change in this country really needs to be evaluated.
