"Safety Net"

Especially after the video in class, this article touches on many good points. Having your life uninsured is dangerous in itself but a big reason not to be insured is ones financial situation. As the video in class on Thursday (Jan. 24) suggested the lower class, or poorer class, is at higher risk for disease and live to a shorter life expectancy. All of these things tie together, if you do not have insurance you are less likely to have as much medical attention throughout your life compared to someone who does have insurance. Not having medical attention when you know you are sick is one thing but sometimes you may not even know you are ill and without proper check ups, who knows, any day could be your last.
