    EMS and fire fighters deserve an increased pay. They put their life on the line to save others. Mentally these jobs can be exhausting and take a toll on their bodies.

    This article dives into the issue if income quality has decreased, as well as its level of importance. It points out that the government should pursue a proactive agenda to increase employment and earnings among working households. It targets the idea of focusing on increasing employment opportunities versus income equality.

    Big pharma companies have taken advantage of everyday Americans in need of their daily support during the chaotic times we live in. Many of the drugs used each day to help patients fighting Covid-19 have drastically gone up in price since the first case appeared in america. With these prices changes many Americans may not be able to get the proper help needed to get better, and as such may extend the time needed for us to fight off the virus as a whole.

    I personally did not know that this was happening right now, but it unfortunately makes sense because it is in such high demands. I do not think that they should be doing that & its awful that if someone can't pay for these drugs, they have a potential of losing their life, which should not be a problem.
  • dan2195433 on 07 Sep 20
     
    Of course big pharma would do this. By raising prices of these drugs, pharmaceutical companies are effectively making it more difficult for people with other healthcare conditions to afford these drugs. As an example, with the price of Ativan increasing, this may result in people who suffer from panic disorder to have difficulty affording a medication that they have a need for.

    As sad as this is, it's truly not surprising. Our society is so based on how much money someone does or doesn't have and companies will take advantage of it. Especially with the pandemic and the uncertainty of what helps, this is sickening.

    This is extremely sad to hear especially because it seem like they are taking advantage of the pandemic but I also agree that it could because it is in high demand with our current situation.

    This is extremely sad to hear. On one hand it seems like companies are taking advantage with the pandemic but on the other hand because I also agree that with our current situation it could be these products are in very high demand.

    It is crazy to think that companies would prioritize profits over the help of the people. I understand the demand; however, it shouldn't be the only reason for the increase in price.

    When I read this article I thought to myself wow this is insane but to actually think about it, why? why is it so important to profit from something everyone in this world needs

    Even though mental illness is a common problem it's handled very poorly. People with mental illness struggle to get help for a variety of reasons. They lack the money to pay for therapy and the support they need.

    I agree, mental health care is very important and sadly is not always easy to get. Mental health needs more funding and more awareness. Being stable mentally is just as important as getting your yearly doctor's exam. I view mental illness's such as depression, anxiety and so on to be just as important to treat as any physical sickness or injury that requires medical attention.
  • sldaly on 27 Jan 17
     
    I also agree that mental healthcare is very poor and not getting the attention it deserves. I have someone really close to me that has mental illness and they don't get all the proper things that they need to deal with it because of money.

    As someone who has struggled with mental illness most of my entire life I know all too well the challenges that mental health faces in our country. It might help you to look at the Reagan administration and their decisions to close several mental health hospitals and programs in the late 80's. This had a huge impact on how mental health was dealt with in this country.

    Being someone that has worked for a number of years with mentally disabled patients, I have to say that there is a lot of indifference toward this medical condition. Patients are not always receiving the best treatment option, they rather receive what is convenient for the health care provider or sometimes the cheapest alternative because family does not want to pay for treatment, whether it is a therapy or medication. It is very unfortunate that these people are ignored just because they have an ilness.
  • monique102 on 28 Jan 17
     
    I work with a variety of patients and some do have mental disabilities. Most don't seek help because they have the lack of knowledge and don't know where to start. Also like the article states they don't have the support or don't want to spend the money. A lot of people who don't get the correct help they need then tend to become suicidal. Very sad.
  • aus2127741 on 29 Jan 17
     
    Mental health definitely needs funding. A lack of funding will result in higher poverty and an increased suicide rate among the disabled. Not too long ago the mentally ill were put in asylums. Being someone who has Asperger's Syndrome I have experienced shutdowns and anxiety. At my last college I was unofficially withdrawn. When I have anxiety I often cannot leave my bedroom and school has become very difficult.

    The main reason many do not seek professional help is not due to money, but the stigma that society places on someone with mental illness. Suffering in silence is a common way to handle the disease. Many also self medicate with alcohol and drugs. There is free help out there, just have to look for it. Catholic Family Services and Christian Church groups are there to those who ask for the help. The first step is to ask.

Minimum Wage Justice - 2 views

    This article talks about the ways minimum wage is nearly the same or less even when raised. It is shown that the cost of living goes up each year. This means that when we get a dollar raise prices inflate making that dollar not any more valuable. one phrase they said that I liked is that the ink doesn't get a chance to dry before it loses value.

    I feel as if that phrase you used is so true! I like how the article compared the results from raising the minimum wage over a few years. The cost of living always increases!
  • des2019432 on 04 Sep 17
     
    This was exactly my thought when minimum wage was raised. What was the point if the cost of living just keeps rising and faster then the minimum wage? Working for $10 an hour after taxes and insurance take home pay won't help if the cost of milk is almost $3 maybe $2 when on sale.
  • Brooklyn White on 04 Sep 17
     
    This is an interesting article. While the cost of living goes up all the time, every time minimum wage goes up employers are forced to pay their employees more so they have to charge more for their services which in turn raises the cost of living.

    In his January 2014 State of the Union address, President Obama called for a new federal minimum wage of $10.10 an hour. The year before, in the same speech, he proposed a $9 minimum wage. This article addresses the different reasons to increase and the issues with increasing the minimum wage. it discusses how it has changed over the years and states that the original minimum wage was 25 cents an hour back in 1938. There are quite a few interesting stats in this article.
  • kea2154314 on 04 Sep 16
     
    I definitely that Obamas move to raise the minimum wage has caused more problems than it has done good. It's only created a sense of working less, doing less for more pay. People don't want to work hard, get an education, or persue a career goal in order to make money. It's seems more common that people just want what's easy and what gives them the most for their own selfish desires.

    Charges for delivery have almost tripled since 1996. Women are getting sticker shocked for procedures and tests that they feel should be covered by insurance. The trend is that women are having to pay individually for services that they may not necessarily need. Many insurance providers exclude maternity coverage from their plans, increasing the financial burden for women.
