Many topics can relate to these articles because mostly all deal with economics and in most cases, medical attention is very expensive. It was interesting to learn how much money is being spent on health care. In my case, not only would it take a lot of money to get more research done and more information on the homosexual gene, but if a child's parents were willing to pay a psychologist to "cure" their kid from his homosexual tendencies, then we would be talking about more money being spent that deals with medical attention. This article mentions that we are spending twice as much for other people to have health care than other countries. This worries many citizens because they do not feel the need to pay for other people who cant afford health insurance's health care. The money aspect in this is probably the most important part of this debate that is being argued. People are mainly getting mad because their income is being cut so that other people can be insured. On the other hand, This article argues that health care is a fundamental right and, unlike this article by Bryan Young, she gives actual fact based information. She focuses on telling us why it is that it is necessary for people to have access to these rights. She talks about the mentally ill and why they especially need special treatment.
One thing I do not completely understand is what is mentioned in This article by Jacob Hornberger. He states in his article " ...force doctors to provide health care services to others would be akin to slavery, especially if it's for free. I think that doctors deserve to be paid for their services." What I do not understand is why he is saying that the doctors will not get paid. The way I have understood this idea of health care is that people pay taxes, which then go to the government, which is then spent on people's medical needs. If the government is paying for a person's medical treatments, then we should not worry about doctors not getting paid.
