health care movie
It is clear from the videos that we have previously watched in class that health care is not what it seems to be. From the Sicko movie it describes how not everyone has health care in the United States and compares it to places where everyone has health insurance like Great Britain. It is proven that college graduates live two and a half years longer than high school graduates. And average life expectancies vary to the place of living. This is because places like the US make having health care/insurance nearly impossible to have and keep and health is driven by social policies. The average life expectancy for Great Britain is about 75 years old, this is because everyone is given care and not charged for being sick. Another problem is that our budgets dictate the foods we eat and the health care we receive. Sometimes people don't buy certain medications due to the fact that they are too expensive even though they are needed. Graduate level, budget, and place of living indicates how long you live which is wrong. It should be personal choices you make that create the biggest difference. However money sometimes dictates personal choices. People who are working two jobs are not getting time with their families, a full life experience, and usually have less stable jobs to bring food to the table. Most jobs these days don't even have benefits due to the cost to the company. Cortisol is a big reason for stress. It is supposed to enhance your immune function yet in stress it reverses itself and it's enhancements. This study was shown through testing people by using cotton swabs. It is pretty sad and a harsh reality check that our nation is being dictated by prices to companies and income levels indicate how much life someone can live. Everyone is supposed to be entitled to living life to the fullest.
