When you think of The United States of America
- what comes to mind?

"Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness"
Well, in order to have a life at all, one needs to be healthy.
In order to be happy, one needs to be healthy.
(Because you can't have a real "life" without being healthy...)
In order to be happy, one needs to be healthy.
(Because you can't have a real "life" without being healthy...)
...and Liberty. Liberty involves a "right and/or privilege"
So the question is this. Is health care a right?
How can you DENY someone adequate health care when assistance is needed.
If you see an individual who is so sick they cannot function or lead a normal life - is it right to deny them the help they need.

It breaks my heart to see people not getting the services they need to live their life.
For people suffering with preexisting conditions, getting insurance can be impossible or impossible due to the amount of money it may cost to attain health care.
We are discriminated against - we are denied a right. A right to health care.
**I totally understand that some people feel that health care is NOT a right, but I totally, whole-heart-idly disagree**
Health care should be a right. No one should have to suffer -
Please, watch this video of these two people I know (and love) who are suffering with Dysautonomia/POTS, EDS, and more...
Stand up for what is right. Spread Awareness. Let your Voice be Heard.
Thanks for listening

Totally agree. How are we so progressive in some aspects and sooo backwards in our health care? my grandma has insurance and has to pay for her own chemotherapy, its like 250 everytime she goes. i dont understand why some one who has cancer and health insurance has to pay for life saving treatment!

I absolutely, completely agree with you. I remember when Obama came to my campus last year and talked about healthcare and a lot of my friends were angry - mainly because they thought if everyone had healthcare, THEIRS wouldn't be the same. I was so mad at that - you should be willing to lower your healthcare standards even a little bit (which I highly doubt has happened!) to help EVERYONE. How would you feel if you had cancer and couldn't get treatment?! You're such a smart, educated person :D LOVE YOU
I'm so glad that we don't have to pay for Health Care the same way you do in America, it's crazy what people are expected to pay!
When I watch things like Grey's Anatomy and people are refusing heath care because they can't afford it it make me realise what some people have to go through and how lucky I am! xxx
Britain's healthcare is a lot better (not being horrible haha) we are able to get seen my a doctor in a hospital or at a local practice for free on the NHS (national health service) board. I believe every person should have the right to see a doctor without paying!!! I'd hate to think that anyone that truly suffers is denied proper healthcare!!! xxxx
I don't have health insurance and it worries me if I ever got really sick or had an accident. When I have a sinus infection and need antiobiotics, it costs me like $300 just to go to the Dr. to get them :/
I love you for this post! My boyfriend has been dealing with this issue now for years. He has a deviated septum, so no insurance company will take him or if they do, he can't afford the premium they offer. It's sad. It's a Catch-22, really.
I'm facing the same thing myself right now. I was all set to get health insurance with a certain company last week, but then found out they upped my price by $100 because they discovered I took over-the-counter allergy medication!! I was horrified! :(
PS. I also left comments on your ancestry post and last post. :)
