    I personally think that mental health has such a negative stigma around it, which is part of the reason it gets negated. Taking that negative stigma away, and providing people with access to the care they need is so important.

    Mental health truly is something that gets disregarded a lot of the time. If anything, all the time. I agree, having access to mental healthcare is extremely important. It could be beneficial to so many people and could save numerous lives.

    Its freightening how unaware we are as a people to mental health conditions. A condition that America has called its epidemic is obesity, but the root cause of so many conditions is actual mental health. Mental health is more than just people who struggle with a psycological problem.

    Access to Health Services is a key issue in the Health Care domain as many people face disparities due to limited access. Many issues are covered in brief or general detail with focus on each main idea. These ideas include lack of Health Coverage, poor transportation services, deficient Health Care Resources, and how they impact vulnerable populations.

    Healthcare barriers are a concern in today's world, with pharma gaining ever more power within the government. Healthcare prices are skyrocketing, creating an economic barrier. I learned from this article that physicians could refuse to help patients using Medicaid just because of the lower rate. The goal of Medicaid is to ensure that low-income people can receive healthcare. Physicians should not refuse healthcare to the Medicaid population based on the rate of cost.

    This article provides in depth insight on the barriers people face accessing adequate healthcare in America. It talks about how important healthcare is and how it is a human right to have equal access to it. The website provides credible evidence and sources to support all the contributing factors.

    Is access to clean drinking water a right, or a privilege for those who can pay their bills? Two UN experts visit Detroit, Michigan to assess the charges that water cut-offs violate the human right to water and sanitation.
  • ale2164926 on 29 Jan 17
     
    I am from Michigan, and I completely agree with this. It is ridiculous that access to clean water is being exposed as a privilege? Access to clean water is a right.

    Healthcare is an issue that is present today, especially with the election that just occurred. Some believe that everyone should have free access to healthcare and note that if other countries can do it, so can we. The other believe that it is the individuals personal responsibility to figure out how they are going to get it and believe that universal coverage would be too expensive.
  • nat2142094 on 30 Jan 17
     
    I agree completely. It is possible and other countries have proven it. It's just a matter of rejecting the lobbyists, insurance companies, and pharmaceuticals that make money off of private citizens. Healthcare should be a basic human right and not something that can cause you to go bankrupt.

    Good health is intrinsic to a persons well being. Those who do not have access to decent healthcare cannot have the same opportunity at life as those who do.
  • jul2201173 on 29 Jan 18
     
    Health care plays an important role in society today and especially social justice issues. It is important that everyone is able to have access to healthcare not only for ones life but the society as a whole. However, sometimes the healthcare system limits individuals as to if they are able to have access to it when it should be a born right.

    I really enjoyed this article. It's nice to inform people about the reasons why people struggle with finding access to good mental health care. A lot of the world is misinformed as to why people are unable to access help for their mental issues.

    I too enjoyed this article. As I'm aspiring to be a psychiatrist, issues such as these are very important to me, especially considering that I have suffered from mental illness as well. There are indeed many stigmas that surround mental illness, and we as a society are just barely beginning to understand the sensitive nature of these illnesses, as well as how to effectively treat them.
  • karlag1308 on 08 Sep 20
     
    Thank you for sharing this article! I believe it's important to understand why it's so hard for so many people to get treatment for mental illness. It's not as easy as go to the gym or just don't think about it. It's important to get rid of the stigma and economic barriers that surround mental illness and treatment.

    As the end date approaches in the coming year for the "Internet Tax Freedom Act" that was signed in 1998, two republic senators have proposed a new bill. Not only does the new bill protect Internet users from taxation of Internet access, usage, and email by government agencies, this bill would be permanent.

    This chart published by the CDC gives a comprehensive view of adults & children of racial groups and age groups, and their access to care. This chart also outlines that white people have more access to healthcare than other racial groups. Finally, this chart is for informational purposes only, and does not give any insight as to why there is a gap in access to care.

    Children that come from poverty are more likely to be abused due to stress on parents. It is really sad. I am realizing how interconnected social justice issues are.

    That is a fascinating writing. There is so much more to poverty than simply a lack of money. It is also sad that no human being should go hungry. It really speaks to a lack of compassion in the world.

    Most of us don't think about the need for clean water; however 18 people die every hour from lack of safe drinking water. There is major inequality when it comes to access of decent water. If you have money, you have safe water. Impoverished people are not as lucky. It should also be pointed out that the privatization of water systems make it even more difficult for most people to have clean water.
