I think healthcare should be given to everyone. Barrack Obama's system will make the healthcare bankrupt. I think they should give millions of dollars to healthcare like they do to the huge banks in New York. Why can't they do that? Why they making people pay soo much? Healthcare is too expensive for most people to afford. I think that since everyone pays taxes and they're basically paying healthcare we should all be given healthcare. I think its somewhat unfair that the military get's free healthcare and other people don't some people in the U.S. don't have healthcare because it is too costly.
In the articles I read people talk about their opinions and their problems but I've notice that they never talke about their ideas on how to make the economy better because U.S. is in debt. There have been a lot of budget cuts going on. For example I live in Mira Mesa, and 3 months ago I found out there was this little boy who was choking and his parents called the ambulance and fire department which is RIGHT there like 2 minutes away from their home. And the ambulance nor the fire truck couldn't come because of the budget cuts. So the boy ended up dying. I think that was unfair, especially since they lived right next to the fire department. They keep on trying to help our debt by cutting many things off, And I don't think it's helping at all. They need to think of a better way to fix the debts. How is the government helping by doing this? It's not working at all. They need a better way to solve this problem, this problem has been going on for years. U.S. has been in debt since forever.

Reading the articles gave me a different view of the world. Like the saying "you can't always get what you want" because you have to do things in order to get it. You have to go through a lot just to get healthcare, the process is not that easy. There are many people in the U.S. can't afford health care many can't afford health care because of their jobs or how much they get paid. Maybe if they decided to have insurance or health care at a lower, reasonable price people wouldn't have to stress out and worry about not being able to go to the hospital because of their healthcare or how they don't have healthcare. This reminds me of while I was listening to the radio they said that there was this old man who couldnt afford electricity and water bills and he lived alone in the eastcoast and this was during the winter and the company of the electricity and water shut down his electicity and water because he didnt pay it anymore... so one day it was below 0 degrees and the old man was found dead in his house the next morning. This reminded me of healthcare because of how the they let people be if they don't have healthcare, they don't do anything about it if the person doesnt have healthcare so they're basically letting them die. In the first article the author seems like he tells his story like everyone else on how he can't afford healthcare or how it costs too much.

4. Describe the types of health care problems Americans face, and the government's role in seeking solutions.
There are many types of health care in the U.S. for example, Public Health Care: Medicaid, Medicare, Indian care, Tricare ( Military Health Insurance), Veterans Health Administration, Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, and State Chilldren's Health Insurance Program(SCHIP). Then there's Private Health Care which is, Health savings account, Medical savings account, High-deductible health plan (HDHP), Consumer-driven health care, Health insurance in the United States, Managed care, Preferred provider organization (PPO), Health maintenance organization (HMO),and Medical underwriting.
Health Care is a problem in the U.S. because of the people's opinions on it. Some people and the price of health care to be lowered because alot of the Americans aren't able to get it because of how pricey it is. And some want to keep it at the same price and fund it is today. Many immigrants find it difficult to get health care because they are afraid to get deported back to where they came from, for that case the illegal immigrants choose not to go to the hospital because they don't have enough money to pay the medical bills. The people who get their health care from the government don't have to pay full price or don't pay their medical bills at all. There are also companies/jobs who give out health care or include health care if you work for the company. There are different types of health care that are categorized for senior citizens who have disabilities, families, and people who work for certain jobs. My family's health care is payed by the government because my dad is in the navy so in that case, we have Tricare insurance. The only thing we have to contribute to would be our dental care. But we don't have to pay that much because my dad is in the navy. After my sister and I turn 18 we won't be able to have Tricare Insurance anymore because we would have our own job and have to pay for our own health care. Only my parents would be able to get Tricare Insurance.
1. A compelling character would be someone who goes through obstacles/conflicts and solves their problems but at the same time goes through other obstacles to get past their problem in the first place.
2. For me, an interesting plot would be like a hill. From the starting point of the hill the character wouldn't have problems but then going up the hill the character has conflicts and reaches the top point which would be the climax, and then going down the hill would be solving the conflicts but still going through obstacles to solve it.
3. I think a specific step authors would need to create a non-jargon based scientific writing would be creating an article that everyone would understand or be able to comprehend. For example, when I read my book Every Patient Tells a Story it tells me in away I would be able to understand and when they use medical words the author explains it in a way somehow everyone would understand.
4. A specific step authors would encourage their reader to connect to the story would be making the character relate to the reader. By showing emotions of the character that can relate the the reader. Or showing it by somehow almost everyone can relate to.

The stage of life I would like to write about would be adolescences. I'd like to write about what's happened after or when adolescences take the morning after pill. The morning after pill contains female hormones that are called levonorgestrel or progestin that is produced by ovaries. Emergency contraceptive pills prevent ovulation or fertilization. The EC pill prevents the female from becoming pregnant. The EC pill will only take affect if it is after the intercourse, or a couple hours after.
The government in Europe recently allowed tv commercials to have abortion commercials/ ads. The Europe government created and atmosphere where it seemed as if the teenagers were allowed to get pregnant.

Another article was about how the they let pharmacists choose whether or not the pharmacy is allowed to have the morning after pills.

On CBS news there were a group of teenagers who have discussed the morning after pill and talking about their opinions on it. Most of the teenagers said that many other teenagers as an emergency pill. A guy from one of the six teens thought that the EC pill was an excuse for guys to have sex with girls. Others said that it was quite dangerous and not fun to take the EC pill because of the side effects. 4 out of 6 teens in the group knew someone who has taken it/ knew what the morning after pill was.
On the TIME article I read about how people think that the morning after pill is for abortion or how other people thought that it unfertilized the eggs.

1. The enviroment of the internship i'd want to be in a hospital building. I'd like to be around doctors, nurses, and many patients.
2. At the hospital I'd like to file papers, type using word, and I think Im pretty good at communicating with little children as patients. I am also good at helping other people in class whenever they need help, for example helping critique other's papers to better their writing. I would see myself at the hospital helping out the nurses with the vital signs and filing papers for the nurses whenever needed.
3. During my internship I'd like to see how the nurses work and what they do on a daily basis. Because in the future I want to become a CRNA. It seems really interesting when I see nurses doing the job every time I have to visit the doctors.

The reason why Michael Westermen died was because of the misinterpretation of the confederate flag on the his truck. When a group of teenagers saw the confederate flag they chased after him and attacked him because they thought the flag was a symbol for slavery. But I don't think Michael had the flag for that particular reason. I don't think the teenagers didn't take the time to realize why Michael had the flag, I don't think he had the flag for slavery... I think he had it for the trend because all the white people had it in Gutherie. Michael probably was influenced by the other white people. I think the both sides were bad, because Michael had the rebel flag & because the teenagers didn't have the right to shoot the guy. This story was pretty intense, it had alot to do with the Confederate flag and how the white people wanted the "power". There was alot of racism. I think the people were having unnecessary arguments and fights just because of their race.
