healthcare

           Healthcare is one of our countries biggest problems at the moment, and I guess the government is taking some steps to fixing them. my argument is that Obamacare isn't fixing anything. Health insurance should be something that people are least worried about. Sick equals help, very simple concept, why not make health insurance free like Cuba, Canada, Britain, and France. We spend so much money copying others to make us better, why not follow in health insurance?



            There's a film called "Sicko" by Michael Moore. Where he shows the flaws in American health insurance at the time in 2007. Scary numbers like 45 million Americans uninsured, and the other insured 200 million can't quite afford it. Problems like low income individuals that can't afford, cost, denial of coverage, and many others. Yes, ObamaCare is for the disabled, low-income family, and to be most affordable.



            A tax? yes, in this video new ObamaCare taxes you probably don't know about they explain the tax you will receive if you're on high priced plans starting in 2018. So I thought this new care was to help to make us pay more for having a nice health plan. making this one of the highest tax increases in American history. So what is ObamaCare fixing? Don't get me wrong, millions of people will be insured because of it, but if not aware of the behind closed doors scheme that's being pulled, no money is being saved.



            Aside from ObamaCare and all other insurance I feel we should take a big step to making health insurance free. As a country full of resources and opportunity we should be able to make it able to happen. The countries I listed before aren't more developed than we are, but are treating their hardworking citizens with a luxury that over here is way out of reach. Now will people be insured because of Obama? yes, but I bet after years pass they'll find out how many steps backwards we went.

Whats More Important?

   
    what's the problem with doctors spending extra time with their patients in appointments? Ann Brenoff from the huffingtonpost tells her personal encounter with this problem, titled On The Fly: The Doctor Will See You ... When Her Boss Says She Can.

     Ann's doctor had a habit of staying overtime with her patients to just sometimes talk, keeping her waiting an extra half hour for her appointment. but why does her doctor do this? because she feels that after talking with a patient and really getting to know their life style it makes her job easier. she wants to get to know the patient better so maybe following their health record won't be as hard or telling them to stop a certain bad habit every now and then. the doctor even talks to the teenagers, giving them her card in case they want to talk about sex, drugs or any other personal problems they can't go to their parents with. she says "she needs to care for the total person, not just the flu that's going around."

      the medical corporation wants doctors to spend less time with their patients because the more patients, the more money. is that really all that matters these days? money? to work in such a field as medicine a doctor should be able to take extra time out to connect with who's handing them their days pay. at first Ann disapproved of her doctors actions, but after witnessing how much she cared for her patients, her thoughts changed.

     Ann disagrees with the fact the doctor takes so much time with every patient, but agrees to the fact that it's for a better cause toward helping her patients. I also go along with because honestly I wouldn't want to wait an extra half hour past my appointment because she "yapping" with other patients. but, also I don't have a problem with someone taking the extra step in knowing me as a person in order to help me and my health, which is her main job description.

    Ann contemplated about leaving, but figured it's not too bad. scheduled an appointment for the following week, and brought a book to read in case she took a little extra time.

The Government isn't Worried?

Should we be worried about somali terrorist? Jessica Sturn feels our government should. Al-shabab is the new group of terrorist trying to make a name for themselves, and has caught the attention of Americans. You probably know the name of this group from the Nairobi's Westgate mall attack where they killed more than 67 people were killed. Jessica thinks that our government needs to be more involved in the movement of Al-shabab, knowing they want to plan a bigger attack on U.S. soil. They also are building their gang through a recruiting  "jihad rap" is what they call it. Focusing on Somali-Americans that maybe have been through tramas in their life, and giving them an attitude of killing others that don’t agree with them. Should the U.S. be paying more attention to this group? yes, if they are going as far as recruiting young men from our country to follow them in hurting others, why shouldn’t that be enough. Jessica has evidence from former members of the group, one being Mohamed who was recruited and taken for gun training in an old italian graveyard, but later quit the organization. Mohamed had symptomes of trama and after he left, moved to canada but was unable to get a high paying job so he blames "the system". Jessica knows if we don't take this group seriously, like al-queida they will take it upon themselves to pull off a devastating attack. Osama, 9/11, and other attacks should be enough to know the seriousness of these foreign terrorist. They want to be known and feared so taking lives will not be a problem for them as they already demonstrated in the Westgate attack. Sturn knows what can happen, why doesn't the government?
