Essay #6 Topic

I'm having trouble finding something I really want to write about, but since I'm going into the medical field I thought I'd touch on that a bit. The United States lacks a health care system which can provide health care for all of its citizens. Most Americans rely on either independent health care providers such as Blue Cross, or on non-profit health care providers like healthy families which only covers so much and so many. In 2007 there were nearly 46 million U.S. citizens without health care, many of those with insurance had only limited insurance because full coverage can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (for a family). I plan to talk about the different types of medical care programs and their flaws/ benefits. Health care is something every U.S. citizen should have available to them, I understand the changes which would have to occur in order to support such a program, but I believe the changes to move towards a better health care system are a must.
