Blog 2- Do you believe healthcare is a right or privelage?

I personally feel healthcare is a right and it can never be a privelage first but only after it is a right. I say this because this is the only country that does not offer free healthcare and has providers that charge too high premiums for their insurance plans. This has always been an ongoing issue in America. We should be allowed free doctor examinations whenever we need to have them. It is vital to have a healthy country and the only way to have this is to allow everyone access to insurance to the full coverage. No one should be allowed partial coverage because that is just unfair to those that can not afford high plans because it can cost an arm and a leg. Why do other countries lead in the way of healthcare for their counrty's men, women, and children. Being hospitalized is thought to be devasting already and when you add up all the high expensive costs that is more of a reason to panic and to be put in debt to this counrty due to having a screwed up system. Healthcare is a right and along with that goes the privelage of having free healthcare which we will not see anytime soon unless Congress decides to make it their most important topic and issue. The elderly can not support themselves only on social security and Medicaid and Medicare. We need to address this problem thoroughly and make neccessary changes as soon as possible so everyone can have equal access to hospitals and healthcare.

Kiran's Blogger...Finally here

I am concerned with getting in shape mostly these days. I want to be more toned and fit so to do this I am allowing myself to a healthy diet (on most days). I have been working out a few times a week, although not really a cardio work out but just weights and benching. In my family, there are a few concerns with high blood pressure and cholesterol. So this is a big issue for me as I advance through life and my college years which are supposed to be the worse years for health with some students. I say this because people do not always eat healthy and have bad habbits. I am only 21 going on 22 in a couple months so I want to progress through living a healthy quality life.


Interview with: Dhruvi, Age 19

When I talked to my friend Dhruvi, she told me that she was concerned with her weight even though she is not under or overweight. To me she is a perfect size, but recently she thinks she has been having flucuating weight while she traveled over her break. She wants to start eating a more healthy diet just as I wish to do. Dhruvi gets some cardio work out some days by walking on a treadmill. She told me she sleeps for a few hours each day after class or work. I found this wierd because she is really tired everyday in the afternoons and she is still very young.

Interview with: Lisa, Age 21

In my interview with Lisa she told me she was always thin and have never been overwieghed or have not had any health concerns. I have known her for a few years now and she has never been really sick except with an occasional cold or sinus problem etc. She told me eating healthy and exercising are the main things she stays focused on. We all had this in common.
