Sicko! Let's Explore More

According to a recent article from NPR,

"The United States spends more of its gross domestic product on heath care than any other country. The WHO came up with these estimates in 1997, showing that the U.S. spends more than twice as much of its GDP on health care compared with the United Kingdom, with Cuba and France in the middle. Most of the medical costs in the U.K, Cuba and France are paid by the government, respectively 97 percent, 87 percent, and 77 percent. In the U.S., government spending accounts for 44 percent of the nation's health care bill, with most of that going to Medicare and Medicaid."

What are France, England, Canada and Cuba doing right? Taking care of their own first. We as Americans have great big, open hearts and give to many other countries' poor and sick. But, we have to be more selfish when it comes to taking care our citizens.

My first order of the day is to suggest we band together, just like the people in other countries who listen to the wishes of their people.

Join a local Meetup Group, or create a new one! If you've never heard of Meetup, it's a website where you can join a group of other like-minded individuals who share your passions. If there isn't a Meetup group already on your topic of choice, create one easily.

The more voices out there, the better. Our government needs to listen to us. Everyone deserves to have healthcare.
