Obtainable health insurance has always been a social justice problem. Big companies that manufacture drugs and equipment continue to charge higher prices for supplies every year. The cost of healthcare in the United States is higher than any other country in the world. Healthcare and a state of wellbeing has been more and more difficult to obtain. Social classes are also punished in our healthcare system as well.
The cost of healthcare can often bankrupt families for situations that they have no control over. For an example, if a child gets cancer they will probably have to use their life savings for a chance to save their child. This is a huge injustice for families all over.
Some questions I have for this project is:
How can we make healthcare affordable in this country?
Does the government allow big companies to get away with charging obscene prices for their own benefit?
What policies affected the affordability of healthcare?
