Summary: We spend fifty percent on health insurance, but the U.S ranks 15th in preventable death.  Although we have the best science, we don’t have the best health insurance. 2.2 million Americans are uninsured for health insurance.  With some jobs, they help cover you on health insurance.  Your age and how much you make a year determines your status on health insurance.  What about the people inbetween the ages of Medicare and Medicade? There are people in the world today, working people, that either have bad health insurance, or none at all because they can’t afford it. Their bills continue to pile up, and are continuously piled in depth.  Is this the way people are supposed to live? Life should be fun, not regretful. People should be in their happiest years between the ages of 19 and 65.

Response: I believe the U.S should be focusing more on the U.S and our problems; airgo our health insurance. We’re doing other things such as fighting wars in other countries for other countries, when we have issues of more importance in the U.S.  I also believe that the cost of health insurance should be lowered so Americans can actually afford it. Also, I believe it’s unscrupulous to terminate people from their jobs when they’re dealing with medical issues and are occupationally at a hospital. Kids today need to realize that having health insurance is very vital, and that going to college, preferably a good one, would increase their likeliness of better health insurance.
