    As a teen, we make quick and rash decisions without thinking about the consequences; sex being one of the big ones. Teens do not think about the repercussions. To minors, they just think if they mess up, they can just take the morning after pill within 72 hours and all their worries will be washed away. Plan B promotes carelessness with unsafe sex which can lead to a female having some form of an STD, a baby if the pill fails, and left to deal with the hormonal side effects.…

    Healthcare is a very important government issue not just here in the Unites States, but all over the world. It is something that has a large affect on every person. There are 200 countries in the world, but not all 200 countries have their own healthcare system, nor do they all follow the same system. There are four major models of healthcare systems Beveridge, Bismark, National Health Insurance, and Out of Pocket Insurance. There are many components to a healthcare system aside from who pays for health insurance. Details such as co-payments, loss of jobs, and bankruptcy all have to be taken into account. Each country chooses the model that they believe best suits them, and some countries choose to mix different concepts from the models or to make slight changes to create their own plan.…

    These pros and cons definitely need to be considered before implementing a universal health care system. One advantage is the fact that everyone will be able to receive health care. This benefits not only citizens, but physicians as well. According to Crone (2010, p.171), “Doctors and dentists would deal with one bureaucracy rather than fifty government bureaucracies and many insurance bureaucracies.” This will relieve so much stress for doctors because they will not have to talk to several insurance companies about what services they will cover for their patients. Another advantage is that there will be a reduction in health care costs. According to ProCon.org (2015), “healthcare spending could be lowered by $592 billion and up to $1.8 trillion over the next decade.” This is an exceptional advantage because it could reduce the national deficit and the money could be used elsewhere to help the…

    Healthcare has been a long debated topic in the United States. Currently, about 44 million Americans are uninsured, while another 38 million more report being under insured. When ObamaCare came into effect in 2010 many people, who previously weren’t able to have health care, now had access to health insurance. ObamaCare helped lower the costs of care. Although this helped many citizens in America, people still argue that a universal health care policy would be much better for the country. A universal option (Canada, for example) would cover all citizens and improve overall public health. I believe a universal system would be much better for America for many reasons: it would improve the workforce greatly,…
