America's healthcare is the most expensive amongst industrialized nations. But higher costs aren't leading to a healthier population or longer life expectancy. The high cost of healthcare negatively affects the American economy in many ways.

I found this article to be very fascinating indeed. I hope that one day we will have a health care system that is excess-able to all Americans. Hopefully a solution will be properly found during our life time.

There are many major problems within our healthcare system. For instance, there is a huge shortage of healthcare workers. We need healthcare workers in order for hospitals to run smoothly. Not only is there a shortage of workers, there is an opioid crisis as well. Many things need to be done in order to fix the healthcare system.

The healthcare system is a mess right now. A lot of healthcare workers were called heroes in the beginning of covid and now they're being fired because they don't feel comfortable getting the vaccine. The shortage is from them getting fired. I actually lost my best friend to an accidental overdose.

While the number of COVID 19 case continues to rise, Healthcare workers are succumbing to overwhelming pressure on their shoulders. Many hospitals, clinics, and labs are short-staffed with restricted resources at hand to properly treat patients who have the virus. Often times, this leads to non COVID 19 related issues to be pushed aside due to the conditions and priorities these facilities have enforced. They are experiencing stress, frustration, depression, loneliness, and many other concerns that could impact their performance on the front lines.

Im so grateful for these healthcare worker, I could not begin to imagine the stress they had to go though this past year.

It's amazing the obstacles these health care workers had to face because of the pandemic.

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.

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.

Healthcare prices have always been too high. It should not cost as much as it does to treat yourself or get proper medical care. This article shows why healthcare is too high and ways we can combat this price during a pandemic.

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.

Health care plays an important role in society today and especially social justice issues.

The healthcare system in the US has become neglected and therefore, utterly flawed. This can lead to a lower life expectancy within out country. This article explains the complications of getting healthcare and how the system can be improved slightly.

This article suggests that if black people had better access to and quality of healthcare, then the subsequent communities would not be hit so hard by the virus.

I agree with this sentiment. By doing a Google search of Corona virus cases by zip code, you'll find that areas that are mostly populated by minorities were hit the worst.

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.
