Topic: Is healthcare more equitable to compromise for more people that are lower income
families?
I feel that many people that need help or doctors advice cannot get that because they do
not have enough money to pay for it. So this topic sparked my interest because there are a
majority of poor people in our economy that do not even have health insurance which is an issue
for if something happens to them. I feel that people that have diseases or cancer should be able to
have lower cost health insurance because they have to pay for so much medicine like being able
to afford chemotherapy. Knowing that I actually want to major in medicine and do something in
the medical field, I want to help others; not just have to not help some because they do not have
the money or insurance to afford the service that they currently need. A story about the topic that
I have about the topic is in Grey's Anatomy which is a reflection(that is acted out) of how our
health society runs now. In this story, a man needed a tumor to be taken out but he did not have
enough funds to be able to afford getting the surgery or the medicine he would need after. So the

should be able to get help or prices should be more equal depending on the income that family
has to be able to pay for what ifs. I believe many poor people need help with health insurance
because there are some people that get hurt on the streets and no one can help them because they
might not have the insurance for it. Dealing with this topic, I already know that lower health
insurance may never happen but it does not hurt to try to look deeper into the topic to see if it can
What I would like to know about the topic is; What are the most expensive factors of
health care that one has to deal with? How does the cost of equipment used in the hospital factor
into health care and insurance? What all helps factor in the high cost of healthcare within
medicine? I would like to know this questions because I know these both have to fator into
making healthcare so high priced, especially for the lower income families. I know that finding
the research deeper into these questions can help me retain what I need to know to fully
