There are many diseases that cause death in this country. Some of these people would have survived if they were covered with a health insurance plan. All citizens have the right to have health insurance, this should not be a item available only for those with jobs and money.
There are countries within Africa where there is not access to medication and health care such as we have here in our country. So there are lots of preventable deaths there due to this lack of resources.
In the US, however, we take our health for granted. We eat without regard for our bodies and as a result we are dying of the diseases of the rich, yet still we are not able to afford our own citizens with the lifesaving medications if they cant afford to pay for them, and arent able to carry health insurance?
There is a need for a new awareness, to become concious of the decisions we make regarding our bodies, to preserve our lives instead of destroying them. Medical conditions such as diabetes, heart attack, stroke and other vascular diseases are most of the time a product of our lifestyles. This does not compare to a civilization which becomes overrun by the Swine Flu (H1N1) or AIDS.
Essential to our survival is becoming concious of our decisions about how we treat our bodies to stay healthy. Would that come to pass our medical expenses would decrease dramatically as medical care would be only for the occassional disease or illness.
