Loaded Question?

I would first like to say that this course has exceeded my expectations in terms of the amount of information I have acquired, and more importantly the change in perspective through which I now see matters concerning our health care system. The question asked above is not an easy one. If anything this class has taught us it's that the health care injustices in this country are great, and the problems are far from easily solved. Furthermore, the question of what we will do to stay involved is not just a simple, innocent query; it bears the implication of responsibility and perhaps obligation to society. As people who enjoy the benefits of a USC insurance plan (or a relatively secure health care life), do we have a duty to look out for those who are reliant solely on emergency room visits for their health care? Regardless of obligations and duties, I feel most would agree that our current manner of providing health care needs to change, for one reason or another. Personally, I feel that staying informed and up to date with whatever is going on in the world of health care reform is one of the most important things we can do. As future Masters of Public Health, Physicians, and Health Care Professionals, knowing what is going on is the first step in bringing about change. Of course, the opportunity to actually vote on some of these issues does not seem imminent, however I think it would be one of the best ways to take steps in the right direction towards some fair changes.
