Blog 7: Revise Practice Test 2 or 3

Around the world there are people getting sick  everyday. They depend on the hospital to make them feel better, but what if you get rejected because you don't have any financial way of paying the hospital back? What if you don't get the attention you need because you don't have any heath care. More public hospitals should open so more people can get the care and attention they need, because we don't want another incident happening like what happened to Esmin Green in "The women who died in the waiting room" by Jeneen Interlandi. 
   Daisy is an immigrant in the united states, she has no documents or heath insurance whatsoever. Daisy's daughter Angelique had an asthma attack and daisy immediately rushed her to the hospital. The hospital was packed with people and none of the doctors payed any attention to Angelique because she was uninsured.All Angelique needed was an asthma pump but they denied her that because she didn't have any health insurance and her mom couldn't pay for it. Eventually Angelique died in the waiting room because of the ignorance and neglect of the hospital.
John is an U.S. resident, he is a very healthy man and he thought that he didn't need health insurance so he never got it. John, is a single man with no kids and no wife and he's a very hard working man.  A few months later got a tumor in his stomach, they had to do a surgery on him to get it removed, since John didn't have any health insurance he had to pay for the surgery with his own money, the surgery was  very expensive and left John almost broke. John couldn't go back to work for a while so he wasn't getting any money. John needed medicine to ease the pain from the surgery and to keep the tumor away, since John wasn't working he couldn't afford to buy what he needed, the tumor eventually came back and John couldn't afford another surgery so john ended up not being able to eat because of the tumor and pain and died.
This should be allowed to go on any further.What happened to our human rights? should we not receive proper care just because we don't any way of paying it back. Since when did health care become something that you should pay for, it should be free. No one should be denied the right to see a doctor if they are ill.
