Blog #17: More opposing viewpoints!

Health Care is too Expensive:

Health Care being to expensive is a big worry for me because i think having a universal health care is very important and i would like it to be cheap and affordable. This fact really frightens me "Medicare and Medicaid, will go from 23 percent to 41 percent of average household income." wether this is true or not, I'm not sure because he does not list his source for it. However it is a fact that i hope is untrue. "When Medicare was created in 1965, America's median age was 28.4; now it is 36.6." This just shows how medicare really raised life in America and a universal health care policy would help America prosper. With all of the preventable deaths being so high, and all the vaccines that could be created through synthetic cells, an affordable universal health care plan would be incredible.

Health Care is not too Expensive:

I love the way Randell Hoven lays out information on the fact that health care is going to be affordable. Especially when she says "we pay more for health carein taxes than countries that provide universal coverage. Then we pay more than that amountagain in private coverage." That is purely unacceptable. We pay nearly twice as much as some countries that have universal health care, so why can't we continue to pay what we are paying and have the best health care in the universe? This just makes me wonder who is in charge of all of this? Somebody needs to work things out for us, BARRACK. I feel like Craig Venter would actually love to start developing vaccines out of synthetic cells and using them to get a universal health care sooner. Almost blackmailing the US government to start a universal health care so we can start up the vaccine operation.
