Health in the United States



When you come to think about it, the current status of health in the United States is appalling. This is due primarily to the withholding of information by the pharmaceutical corporations that dominate the American health industries. The American governments needs to get more involved in the monopolizing of these huge drug conglomerates and implement laws that prevent them from withholding from us medications that would give to the American people the needed medications that would vastly improve their lives and in many other situations actually help to save lives the world over.
I believe that the current administration is definitely in touch with the American people by implementing the needed health programs that are formed within Affordable Health Care Act. The administration also through the Cabinet has implemented fact finding organizations that have informed the public on how to better take care of their health issue. The American public needs to be educated about the need to perform some light and non-strenuous exercises such as the thirty minute walks and a more healthy selection of meal planning and also better food choices, such as staying away from fast and fattening foods. The video stated that people who walk their dogs can get the needed daily exercise that their bodies require and the more exercise at least up to sixty minutes will give even greater health benefits. Studies have been conducted that by performing these exercises a large percentage of people can vastly increase their personal health.  In my opinion the video that was viewed gives very pertinent information that can be utilized by the public in the efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

  1. In my opinion, America needs more Health advertisements. Commercials, showing the benefits of talking walks, promoting “healthy lives” and in general more warning labels about not being active. Nowadays money is a huge factor with health ad people are no longer able to afford health care. I enjoyed reading your post, you had good points.
