I feel everyone should have access to health care. I believe having access to health care should be a right. Everyone should be entitled to have their preference of how and where they want to have their health taking care of at. No one should be denied the right to having good health regardless of their socioeconomic status. They should not be prejudged, because today everyone can not afford to have health insurance. Most individuals have to go along with what their finances can afford them to pay. Being denied the right to have access to health care, causes a lot of people to be very sick and not able to care for themselves. Because they do not have the funds to pay for a doctors visit or some bills that they will be faced with after visiting a doctor. A person never knows when they are going to insurance so its best that some people try to get some affordable insurance. The insurance may need insurance to cover them when they are sick or if they may need to have surgery. Its a good thing most jobs offer insurance to cover a person as long as they are on the job. Being able to have access to insurance is important.

Women in today's society face many health issues. There are a lot of women who have health issues but a person could never tell on the outside looking in. Health issues that I feel affect many women is high blood pressure, diabetes, strokes and cardiovascular disease. These are just some common issues that a person hear about everyday.

I interviewed my mother Judy Whitehead, she felt an important health issue in women is breast cancer. This is an issue that I didn't think about. The ones I mentioned above is the ones I felt were common and were the first that came to my head. My mom couldn't think of too many others one that affected women because I kind of put her on the spot. My mother came up with the conclusion that women her age is affected mainly by breast cancer, in the age range of 35-45 years old.

The other person I interviewed was Sheila Richardson, my aunt. Her answer that she came up with was lung cancer. Even though men are affected by this issue a lot of women are too. She also came up with an answer that I didn't think about. My aunt felt that many Americans do not recognize as an important issue. Due to the fact the others that I mention are always the common health concerns.

Yes, our answers were different. They did not think of the same answers that I thought of. That was good because that gave me another out view of the different health issues in women
