For Life the Book i will be focusing on childhood diabetes. One of the goverment agencies i will be talking about is going to be the different types of Health Care people use. When i read the article "A good case of Universal Health Care" I though it had a great impact to what im going to write about because some people do loose everything because they cant afford a doctors bill or even to take care of them selves. so learning about diabetes and its economic cost i realized that people with out any type of Health Care are most likely unable to pay for there diabetes needs and treatments. So reading this article really made me realize that Health Care is a human right and we should all be able to have some type of it because not everyone can afford a cost like that.

let say that the average american citizen makes about $48,000-$51,000 a year, and let say that they are rushed to the E.R because they got into a car accident and broke their Hand, Nose, and Neck and also totaled their car. the doctor fees its self are about $38,000. what are they going to do, they cannot afford to pay a doctors bill that high plus repair their car. the are done they have to declare bankruptcy, and mess up their credit for about 10 years and have to live a hard life because they are so limited with money. Thats why i think that Health Care is a human right and it should be provide to everyone, because with out it our world is going to end up in so much dept. At one point, that we are not going to be able to fix it no more.

Another article i read was "Health Care is not a right" this describes how health care is not a right and should not be provided to everyone at one point of this article the author states that Giving people free health care is a form of slavery because doctors cannot deny their services to you so they are forced to do it and sometimes for free. so meaning that they might do some type of surgery that is worth thousands of dollars and they don't get paid for that, and to the Author that is a form of slavery. This affect the topic that i'm studying because diabetes is very expensive and how are people gonna pay for the things that they need if they cant afford them i think that the government will end up loosing in the long run because if the make all these things necessary for diabetes and they waste thousands of dollars making them and don't make anything in return because people cant afford to buy them they are going to begin to loose a lot of money and that is not something the government wants to do.

I strongly disagree with this author cause he says that people should not have health care but i would not want to live in a world were everyone is sick and has various amount of infections and diseases, because thats only gonna make our world worse and not a save environment for anyone. so not only that but no one is gonna want to come to CA because of its un healthy environment. so that is going to be another lost of money for the government. thats why i believe that Health Care is a human right and it should not be denied to anyone under no circumstances.
