HW 26

Sicko - The drug and insurance companies have a tight grip over our healthcare system and are exploiting the american people for profit.

Near Death - even good medical care is not always that good because doctors are trying to save people who are already very sick instead of trying to prevent these sicknesses before they happen.

Mountains beyond mountains- There are alternative ways of dealing with medical issues for the poor but it seems that a clear cut solution is almost impossible due to the clash between profit and healthcare

Beth- People are reluctant to seek medical care. This is a reoccuring theme in our society.

People seem to only seek medical help when it is absolutely neccesary and doctors are there to provide help to those who are already sick. Maybe there should be more emphasis on preventing illness. I think the most important part to study is the healthcare system and it's relationship to the insurance/drug companies because they are outright exploiting people and leaving them to die for their own profits. It's murderous and easily preventable.
