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.
