We really don't know how lucky we are... Even the richest country in the world (America) have poor people that go without everything a poor person in the UK goes without. For example; we don't have to pay for our healthcare, and when we do, it's not putting a massive £20,000 hole in our pockets. The Government say that over 96% of poor people say that theres not 1 day they went hungry during an annual, but that doesnt mean to count out the other 4% which live in flash flood tunnels, having to eat rats for tea don't go hungry. "Poor people have more than we do, with there HD tv's, ect" This is true however, when can you say that you've never not been hungry or been so ill and not been cured? People have so many different opinions on society but no one gets heard. I feel so sorry for our growing population to never get what once was good.
The President of the US - Obama, well in 2009 he said he would change the US class states, allowing the bottom class to be treated like the middle class, however now in 2012 little has been done, and even more people from the beginning of 2009 are out of work and are uninsured with health care what so ever this percentage has been doubled. The Government now say that during 2013-14 will be the years of changing. But that might be too late! The conference taken by the CNN was debating whether or not to let someone in a coma die because he had no health cover for what he needed, many of the audience shouted ' LET HIM DIE', Not one of them said to let him live, so has this what it has come to? Amercians would let fellow Americans die because they have no Health cover to pay for life?
This is totally sickening, even for being a British Citizen and having let even a richer country other than the UK let things get to that extreme measure. No one should have that right, Health care all over the world should be free! I'm sure you can make money off of other things rather letting people die, Yes poorly developed countries such as Africa, well they dont have the money or the development skills to let healthcare be such a big issue, but when countries which have a income of much more than even the UK has and we survive with FREE healthcare, then surely such a big country like America can up hold this.
Rant over, but this is mainly why alot of people HATE America, amongst other probems, but it's one of my main reasons. There's lots of things to love, but adding up the pro's and con's can be difficult.
Peace keys <3
