As time goes by, diseases get worse and worse. The APHA do there best to try and prevent diseases from spreading. Give everyone access to healthy living life

Because of misinformed parents, children have to suffer with diseases that can be easily prevented by vaccinations. Eradicated diseases are coming back due to parents not vaccinating their children.

This article talks about the reasons why drugs (of all kinds) should be legal. It talks about how legalizing drugs could potentially make streets safer and would aid in preventing prison overcrowding. It also brings up how legalizing drugs would free up police resources, unclog the court system, reduce official corruption and how it could cripple organized crime. It also talks about how legalizing drugs can prevent the contraction of AIDS and other diseases and prevent the erosion of personal liberties.

I do believe marijuana should be legal due to so many people using the drug even though it is illegal. It definitely would prevent prison overcrowding and if alcohol is legal and kills people often, why can't marijuana be legal?

Original: Younger children are also at risk for polio, rubella, and mumps until they are old enough to be vaccinated. Considering that there are about 4,000,000 births a year in the United States, that puts a lot of infants at risk for measles, pertussis, and other vaccine-preventable diseases. For measles, as kids aren't fully protected until they get their second dose of the MMR vaccine when they are about 4-years-old, that means an additional 12,000,000 toddlers and preschoolers are potentially at risk. Paraphrase: Parents who choose not to vaccinate their children are putting other young children who are not old enough to be vaccinated in danger of getting polio, mumps, and rubella. In the United States, there are around four million births every year. Taking this into consideration that means infants everywhere are being put at risk for many vaccine-preventable diseases every day. In addition, twelve million children under the age of four are not completely protected from measles until they get there second MMR immunization at about the age of four years old.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that healthy children get vaccinated. There is no evidence that proves vaccinations cause autism. Vaccines are required for children who go to school.

In general a good website for all topics concerning health. I have included a direct link to the obesity section. 2 in 3 American adults or either overweight or obese. This makes America the leading country in problems such as, diabetes and heart disease.

I also bookmarked an article about child obesity. It is very informative on statistics about child obesity and how much it is growing.

I also found that not only obesity is linked to diseases and disabilities but it can affect a person mentally. The article I found explained how a persons mental health is what makes the process of preventing obesity more challenging

This speaks about how the government's control of food will be able to prevent obesity and other diseases in the U.S. Many people disagree and will argue that it is against their freedoms.

The prevention of obesity is very important because even though it may seem bad already, it just gets worse. Awareness is key that way those who are struggling with obesity will understand that being overweight will just lead to certain deaths or disabilities.

This article describes the various ways that POC are treated differently. This can cause doctors to provide the wrong treatment or no treatment for the minority who don't have access to healthcare.

The fact that we continue to face and see discrimination when it comes to health care is appalling. When dealing with health, health care providers should not be biased on who to help due to their skin color or certain characteristics.

There is no reason why there should still be discrimination in health care, they're saving your life regardless of your color.
