Health Care
This is a new take on Health Care. Do we honestly feel that the US Government is going to be able to repair a system that is so corrupt. Even with Health Care, the medical cost is out of control. Having insurance, an average family of 4 spends between $300 - $400 a month on premiums, usually with high medical deductibles. This is strictly for preventative care, not even necessarily for major medical. Now, I do agree that we all need health care for major medical, but minor visits to the doctor should not warrant such high costs. Did you know that you get a price break if you don't have insurance? That's right, typically 60-80% off of the original bill. Craziness!!!! We do have medical insurance, but I do not feel that we use a year's worth of premiums in medical expenses. Nor do we receive much of a tax break for these benefits.
Good luck to the group that takes this battle on! It's going to be a long, hard fight!

Political Ideology
I chose to take this government class for two reasons: the first is that it is part of my requirement for my degree program. The second reason, is that I am seeking a degree in Health and Kinesiology, but I would one day like to teach and I am leaning towards government/history along with coaching. My political ideas are pretty simple: I am not strongly opinionated, but I want a strong future for my children. I don't feel that the current education system meets that criteria, but that is why I want to teach. So that maybe I can make a difference in education and with children.
