Health Care

To be honest, I do not have health insurance, kind of because we are currently financially struggling, because of the economy, but not only that, there are so many packages, and sometimes, some of our body parts are not insured by the package. And I do not feel like I need to have it, but I feel like I need it, just in case something bad happens. So, even one of our family member get sick, we are afraid to go to the doctor because we know it cost a lot, just to see a doctor. And in South Korea, I think people are insured by the government health care, so it only cost around 5 dollar to see a doctor, and the medication used to cost me about 5 dollar. So, I think we should have Obama care.

However, Republicans are trying to repeal Obama Care because it will increase the inflation, but I do believe that saving people's live are better than not having job. We can decrease the inflation, but we cannot bring the dead person back.

And Republicans also said, one of the reason to repeal the Obama Care is because it is socialism. It maybe socialism because government is taking over, but isn't it better than letting people die on the street because they do not have money for medical? I really do not understand what they are thinking.

About Republican

I think the biggest strength of the Republican party is their view on the terrorist. I do believe that all the terrorist should be gone, and they will do anything in their power to protect American people from getting hurt by the terrorist. And at the same time, they also want to keep peace, and avoid the war, and I really like that Idea.

But to be honest, I do not really like republican's after seeing Sarah Palin. I think having Sarah Palin as a Republican Party member is the biggest weakness they have because to be honest, I do not think she has any ability  to do anything. I do not even know how she was the governor for Alashka Alaska.

And I think the biggest weakness of the Republican is how they are trying to repeal the Obama Care. I feel like they do not care about poor people, and trying to say poor people can just die, if they cannot afford to get insurance.

About Democrats

I personally think the biggest strength of Democrats is their view on the health care. I personally believe in Obama Care because I think not everyone can afford to have the individual health care, which is sold by companies. And they twist the item, so even if we get an insurance, some people seldom does not get anything even if they have them. And they should fight Republican, so they can keep Obama Care.

I like the fact that they are trying to prevent the government from cutting budgets on the Education. The article said, the actual budget decline will be much steeper, and if it happens, a lot of students and teachers will be effected by it. Maybe, I like the fact that Democrats' idea because I believe the education is the most important thing in the world.

However, I do not like the fact that they are trying to do everything to maintain the Social Security. I believe they should increase the age because it will save the government a lot of money, and also because I am not old enough to get the money from the government, but i really do not like their position on Social Security.

More problem in Somalia

I personally think, it does not really matter if the doctor is old, or their gender. According to NY Times, some gun man threatened Mama Haw, who is running  Dr. Hawa Abdi’s hospital, because he does not like the fact the the old women in running the hospital. 
They did not seem to care that Mama Hawa, 63, was one of the only trained doctors for miles around, and that the clinic, school and feeding program she built on her land supported nearly 100,000 people, most of them desperate refugees from the fighting and poverty that has afflicted this nation.
For hours, militia commanders held Dr. Abdi at gunpoint while their underlings — mostly 15- to 16-year-old boys — ransacked the hospital, shooting anesthesia machines, smashing windows and tearing up records.
Even now days, Islamic people are very sexist, and they destroyed many medical machine that cost a lot, and helps a lot of patient because it runs by women. I just do not understand what those teenagers were trying to accomplish by doing those things. I think they should know better, and apologizes to Mama Haw.  

Zimbabweans pays medical bills with peanut

Zimbabwe, which is really poor country, does not have good medical system. But to poor people, I think they treat patient better in Zimbabwe than in the United States because they do not send the patient to other poor conditioned hospital because they cannot afford to pay the medical bill. The article is from NY times.
People lined up on the veranda of the American mission hospital here from miles around to barter for doctor visits and medicines, clutching scrawny chickens, squirming goats and buckets of maize. But mostly, they arrived with sacks of peanuts on their heads.
This will never happen in America because the doctors values money over any other food and not only that, the hospital will never do bad as the hospitals in Zimbabwean. I am saying this idea is good, but American doctor should learn something from this article.


Politopia result

Centerville-You would feel most at home in Centerville, which means that you are more or less pleased the status quo-you think the US government has just about the right amount of control over your economic and personal decisions. Your neighbors include democratic and republican party leaders and others who call themselves "moderates" and "centrists."
