Deaths occur across our country every day due to illness and disease. There are some in this group who might have been saved if they had been insured with a health insurance plan and had earlier intervention. The right to health insurance should not only be a province of the wealthy and/or employed, it should be made available to all citizens.
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.
But here in the US, we have so much medical care available our health is not even questioned. As a result we treat our bodies with disregard by eating unhealthy. This causes deaths of our own doing, so to speak, and we are still not affording people lifesaving medications if they have no 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.
What we need to realize is that if we were all doing our part to stay healthy, then we would only need to seek medical treatment for other miscellaneous illnesses and injuries that we sustain, and medical expenses in this country would go way down. We are committing a sort of mass suicide.
