    One of the major social issues in our world, and especially in The United States, is accessible and affordable healthcare. Americans are not able to afford healthcare, and those that manage to pay for it state that more things need to be included.

    I think that is an important and relevant topic in America many of its own citizens can't afford basic care and health needs. It is something that we need to look more diligently on. America can not progress when its citizens are suffering. Great Article!

    It's sad that people can't afford healthcare it should be more accessible to everyone. If everyone could afford healthcare then we wouldn't have so many deaths.

    This website explains how the United States is facing an affordable housing crisis. Majority of the population in America are working 40 hours a week earning minimum wage only to afford a two bedroom apartment. The cause of this issue is because of unequal opportunities, labeling it a social justice issue.

    Many people that don't have insurance will be able to get affordable insurance. Seniors will be be able to buy their brand name prescriptions at an affordable price. Also pay nothing for preventive care.

    This article briefly discusses on how in 2013 the Affordable Care Act was going to assist many poor families. It would help these families be able to afford better health insurance at a low monthly premium.

    Thanks for sharing this. I was surprised with the percentages among minority groups as well as just the overall percentages especially in Texas. This author is really good because she is direct and to the point and has a very clever way of closing the article as well.

    Private citizens don't need ammo two or three years in the future.They need it at prices the poor and middle class citizen, who needs self-protection the most, can afford. We don't need single women being raped and murdered because they couldn't afford, or couldn't buy, ammunition for their personal firearm.

    Homelessness is another social issue and its caused by lack of affordable housing and accessible jobs. Once one becomes homeless it is very difficult for them to receive help as the government lacks to have adequate funding, or any funding for that matter, to assist in decreasing the numbers of homelessness. Whether that be through more jobs, less experience/starting experience available, higher minimum wage, and more affordable living situations.

    I really liked this article it explains a lot of factors that go into how people can become homeless and sometimes not be able to get out of it. I liked how they analyzed many of the subjects as well.

    Over the years I have noticed people think that the Affordable Care Act and Obama care are two different things. They are one in the same. Also, I have noticed that when people talk about it they are usually misinformed. Attached is a link that overlays the whole system.

    The criminal justice system is unfair. Some people cant afford expensive lawyers meaning they will be treated differently and more than likely not win their case due to not having money for a expensive lawyer.

    Planned parenthood does more than just abortions. Getting rid of the government funding for planned parenthood makes it so much harder for people who can't afford healthcare to get tested for STD's or to even get birth control. This is not something that needs to be taken away.
  • sarahkeeler on 30 Jan 17
     
    I agree completely. What is going to happen to the women that are unable to afford birth control? What are they suppose to do, spend thousands of dollars instead to get tested or receive birth control.

    Yes, you have the right to an attorney, even if you cannot afford one. But do you stand a chance? This article mentions how court-appointed lawyers typically spend less than six minutes per case, thanks to the lack of funding of public defender's offices. What happened to equal justice?

    Now that it is mandatory in the US to have health insurance or pay a penalty, people are responding more to the issue. Supporters say that imposing this law makes health care affordable for everyone. People who oppose to these laws say that it violates our personal freedom.
