Health care class discussion

The health care contreversy we had in class on friday was very interesting to listen to. There was a lot of good explained points people made. One thing that caught my attention for the most part of this discussion was if health care was a privilege or not. In my opinion I believe it is a privilege because, we live in a place of freedom. The country that has it all, and health care is a privilege because, not everyone can get coming as an illegal immigrant, it is very hard to get health care. We as Americans can go to our doctor, get helped but it takes time, the good thing is our insurance will pay it. Unlike china, you don't need to make an appointment but, you do have to pay cash and sometimes it is very hard for many. That is why I believe we should be thankful for what we have and where we live. Another very important topic is immigrant crossing over to the U.S. Many come for success, a better future for them and their families but, there is some who come for the bad. I believe they should just stay where they're from. Something we know is that it will never happen and they keep coming. Another thing that is going on right now is the health care reform which is trying to be passed. Many are outraged because it ain't going fast enough but, what they don't know is that it takes time. They think that it's easy to just pressure them and get it done. If they were in the governments place they would be the same. Sometimes I believe people are afraid to change and don't know what's going to happen. Many are like this because, going back to what has happened in the past like, 9/11 and many wars has kept peoples minds afraid and not knowing what is going to happen keeps them away. Something else is that older people have adapted to the modern technology and are following the past. Maybe, if they tried things from now it would different. This big health care controversy was very fascinating to listen to. It changed my way of thinking, and the way I saw see world. Before, I didn't really care of what happened around me but now, it makes me think when something happens.
