Poverty fuels medical crisis

In nowadays, poverty is taking bigger and bigger lenghts. It can be defined as one of the most important problems the world faces like Global Warming,cancer among the population,women's experimentation, and etc. We have to realize this "disease" in our society is a fact and we are the people who have to look around ourselves and try to give our best in order to overwhelm the problem!I think that everyone should be concerned about the lives other people lead and give them our assistance.

When I read the article "Poverty fuels medical crisis", I was shocked to find that there are so many people around the world who live in suffer. The examples which are given in it represent different cases of people's diseases and their helpless situation. The crisis in which Edna Saylor lives indicates the life of the old people and their insecurity. The data shows that this woman gets less than $8,500 a year which is intolerable toward her especially if she survives by her own. Edna Saylor has also some health problems with her heart, she has high blood pressure and poor circulation. Every intelligent person can conclude that this woman does not have enough funds to cover her medical expenses and live the life which people deserve. It is sad that a country like America which is really developed in medicine cannot secure, for example, the lives of its mothers and fathers.

I was also disappointed of the movie we watched in class about this man who lost two of his fingers. Obviously he did not have health insurance which was an obstacle for him, because he did not have enough money to pay for the surgery. I cannot understand how this country can make its citizens feel dependent with their health insurances. Don't you think that doctors should be more worried about their patients' health than their insurances? I think that doctors should give their best to save persons' lives and to think about their own goods after that.
