I'm doing a project on whether health-care is a right or a commodity...?

Your link looks like a pension question, but you are using it for national health care purposes??? Would you rather ask about Social Security to make it more relevant?\n\nYou can get more information about this issue and analysis of the health-care problem from all the angles at the link below.\n\nLaissez-faire health-care economics makes no sense. Markets are good for some things, bad for much and  immoral for health-care. Markets can function efficiently if people have choices. There is no choice in your health-care requirements. If you have congestive heart failure, you can't say to yourself, "Ah, I don't need the attention of a thoracic surgeon this week, I'll put it off until next week."\nOr, "I don't have any need for cancer right now, I'll take indigestion instead."\n\nTherefore, a market solution will only distribute our health resources inefficiently and inequitably. Rich hypochondriacs get all the care they "need" while poor folks with bad hearts let their conditions deteriorate until they need the most expensive care available.\n\nOur high malpractice problems and claims are a direct result of having no national health insurance. When those poor folks who can't afford health-care finally are faced with a heart attack or some other acute episode, they head to the hospital to a doctor they've most likely never seen with no medical records to speak of. The doctors are "flying blind" trying to save the patients not knowing the full array of ailments, allergies, etc they might have.

Funny thing is, I am a LEGAL resident and I can't go to a doctor because I don't have health insurance, and not even once it crosses my mind going to the ER to get primary care. I pay my taxes and do everything by the book, and as a legal resident I cannot (and don't want anyways) use any kind of welfare until I have been working here for 10 years (that's my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong) but the illegals always find a way to misuse the system. Do you know how many families "recycle" insurance cards to fraudulently get medical care because in one family they have 5 "Maria Perez"'s? Sorry, that's illegal and it puts a huge strain on the medical system. And of course those living of of welfare...So I don't think they should use the hospitals to survive, the HC system is already falling apart! I will not deny them of medical care but I don't think it's right. What needs to be done is to fix the problem at the root, and not just use "quick fixes".

Yes, it depends on the what you are researching, if its animal testing then you need to consider the animal's rights, if it deals with testing drugs using patients - then you need to consider side effects and such and various legality measures for those who get involved with the study.\n\nIf you are studying or using some other researchers material or mechansim, you need to get authorisation for use of that especially if its a copyright material. If its public material - referencing this study may be sufficient.\n\nAlso the way you deal with outliers in your study, and also you need to set out your assumptions. If these are not reasonable and you proceed with a conclusion - this can be misleading to readers - as such be unethical behaviour.

I don't know specifically but associations can usually help people out with those types of questions. Check with the Healthcare Distribution Management Association: http://www.healthcaredistribution.org/\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I support stem cell research.\nI vehemently oppose Federal Funding (taxpayer) for stem cell research.  There is no more important right on this planet than private property rights (my money).  There will always be some worthy cause that politicians will use to spend "federal funds", and the slow erosion of private property rights for "worthy causes" will only make things worse.\n\n.

exactly... and what would Jesus say about cutting funds to the poor and giving tax cuts to the rich... and what would Jesus say about the focus of an economy based on greed and measuring success by how much money someone makes... and what would Jesus say about conservative supported health care system in which thousands die because they can't afford insurance, medicine or procedures that would save thousands of lives?\nThe "Christan Right" has a circle in Hell reserved for it.

Pancakes... ah how nice it is to be upper middle class, but maybe you should turn off the TV all together and visit some of our poor communities.... only the rich come here to get health care... the poor in the country can't afford it... just because they aren't the brightest, doesn't mean they shouldn't get health care...\n\nsimple answer to your question is greed... the sin of greed is very acceptable to our "moral conservatives," in fact it's encouraged...

FREE healthcare for everybody--never mind affordable.  Spending money on this war when there are starving, homeless and sick people in OUR country is a miscarriage of justice.

Yes.  And allow me to elucidate.\n\n1)  It's the world's oldest profession for a reason.  Trying to stamp out prostitution is like trying to drain a river with a straw.\n\n2)  It's a consensual act.  The buyer and the seller are both willing participants.  I'm not saying that it's healthy, but those who sell their bodies aren't being stopped anyway.  And healthy profits can fund the therapy needed to get out of that business' mindset... in theory.  Or it can buy a lot of drugs... which is another legalization topic to hold...\n\n3)  Legalization can lead to regulation: required doctor visits for health certification, like the "A, B, C" system in California restaurants.  With legal prostitutes to visit, there may be a decrease in "blind hookups" at your local bar, where a lot of disease gets spread around for free... well, for the price of a few drinks.

I think the biggest issue is poverty.  It also affects everyone everyday.  A lot of the healthcare problems are because of it.  People who are not poor are paying for the people who are.

Anything that you feel strongly about and are well educated on. Topics could be ..... War in Iraq, abortion, national health care, removing or keeping the trade embargo against Cuba, seperation of church and state, and many others. Keep in mind that your opinion will likely be at odds with at the very least a few. Also make sure and research what points people will use to argue against your position, but mostly try and pick something you feel strongly about and prepare yourself.

What kind of care are you talking about?

I think all the healthcare services and products shd be made free. At least after paying out so much from our pockets as taxes, these basic aminities and services should be made free.

I think a lot of money goes into AIDS research, and although there is obviously no cure yet, there are drugs that greatly prolong life.  Treatment and drug distribution should be a major concern, however.  The AIDS epidemic in Africa is devastating, and it is genuinely horrifying to realize that I live in a country (U.S.) that would rather funnel my tax money into a phony war that I don't support than use it to help masses of people who suffer indescribable conditions every day of their lives.  First world powers, capable of stepping in, are just leaving the African continent to rot.  The vast majority of AIDS sufferers in Africa don't have access to the medication that could improve their health and prolong their lives, and government leaders constantly avoid discussing this issue.  Even in my own country, where we do not have socialized medicine, there are people living with this disease who have no means of paying for treatment.  Health care costs are exorbitant, and fewer and fewer companies are willing to provide workers with these benefits.  I constantly hear people referring to the U.S. as one of the richest nations in the world.  Well, that may be, but I'm not in the least bit impressed with the way in which our government allocates resources.  Obviously tax cuts for the richest 1 percent of our population are more important than providing decent health care to the middle and lower classes.  It's disgusting, and things have to change.  Greed is running rampant and we are squandering one of the world's most precious resources, human life.
