Did Health Care do what it was made for 1920's?

Consistent with the general mood of political complacency, there is no strong effort to change health insurance.

Reformers now emphasize the cost of medical care instead of wages lost to sickness - the relatively higher cost of medical care is a new and dramatic development, especially for the middle class.

Growing cultural influence of the medical profession - physicians' incomes are higher and prestige is established.

Rural health facilities are clearly inadequate.

General Motors signs a contract with Metropolitan Life to insure 180,000 workers. Penicillin is discovered, but it will be twenty years before it is used to combat infection and disease.

Health care at this point in 1920 was clear that it was working but "cost of medical care instead of wages lost to sickness”. This began to mean that a demand was being meet but the supply of the health care was not enough. With the Government realizing this health care problem cost was seriously look upon.

Celebrate a Hero!

Aung San Suu Kyi

On 9 November 1996, the motorcade that she was traveling in with other National League for Democracy leaders Tin Oo and U Kyi Maung, was attacked in Rangoon.
About 200 men swooped on the motorcade, wielding metal chains, metal batons, stones and other weapons. The car that Aung San Suu Kyi was in had its rear window smashed, and the car with Tin Oo and U Kyi Maung had its rear window and two backdoor windows shattered. It is believed the offenders were members of the Union Solidarity Development Association (USDA) who were allegedly paid 500 kyats (USD $5) each to participate. The NLD lodged an official complaint with the police, and according to reports the government launched an investigation, but no action was taken.
Aung San Suu Kyi has been placed under house arrest on numerous occasions since she began her political career, totalling 15 of the past 21 years.During these periods, she had been prevented from meeting her party supporters and international visitors. She lives with her two maids and receives visits from her doctor. In an interview, Suu Kyi said that while under house arrest she spent her time reading philosophy, politics and biographies that her husband had sent her.She would also occupy her time by playing the piano and was occasionally allowed visits from foreign diplomats as well as her personal doctor.Suu Kyi continued to be imprisoned under the 1975 State Protection Act,which grants the government the power to imprison persons for up to five years without a trial,and the Law to Safeguard the State Against the Dangers of Those Desiring to Cause Subversive Acts, as Suu Kyi is "likely to undermine the community peace and stability" of the country. She has appealed against her detention.Many nations and figures have continued to call for her release and that of 2,100 other political prisoners in the country. On 12 November 2010, days after the junta-backed party – Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) – won the elections which were conducted after a gap of almost 20 years, the junta finally agreed to sign orders allowing Suu Kyi's release. Her house arrest term came to an end on 13 November 2010.

Health Care

Who started health care and how was health care then?
American Medical Association (AMA) becomes a powerful national force.
In 1901, AMA reorganizes as the national organization of state and local associations. Membership increases from about 8,000 physicians in 1900 to 70,000 in 1910 -- half the physicians in the country. This period is the beginning of "organized medicine."

Surgery is now common, especially for removing tumors, infected tonsils, appendectomies, and gynecological operations.

Doctors are no longer expected to provide free services to all hospital patients.

America lags behind European countries in finding value in insuring against the costs of sickness.

Railroads are the leading industry to develop extensive employee medical
deprograms.

Health Care in 1901 to me seems like it was the golden days for most patients  who didn't have to pay for procedures. Doctors was more than willing to help hospitals out but when realise damnds got higher money was going to be needed for the labor.

 It seem to me that the people got sicker over time as well as more damnading for a better health life which made the doctors want sumthing back for all the hard services they do for a living.

 This cartoon talks about the health care probs and how alot of people can not pay for their medical bills.The cartoon showes me how doctors are willing to check people out until.After they run they test on you though and find out your health plan ,they tell you the bad news of your life. Bad news such ass you can't pay for any more visits or even medican for any current illness you just find out about. The price for health care gose up often leaving people who probaly have heath care thinking that they can pay off their doctor visits or any medication they need.Many know as the health care as a way from the government to help pay off if not most but some of the helth care expences.

Health Care

I am interested in this topic because i feel every body should get the help they need once it is out their in this world. According to http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=health%20care.Healthcare is the preservation of mental and physical health by preventing or treating illness through services offered by the health profession. Day by day people sum where out thier in this worl somebody dies because of the simple fact they have no health care to depend on. Though even today health care is fought heaverly but not enough by our president health care mostly still  is given to those who have jobs in government. Even though they main reason for the hold up on health care is because "congress can't decide how to pay for it. The hardest blow came last week when the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the trial-balloon bill emerging from the Senate Health Committee would cost a whopping $1 trillion over 10 years and would cover only a fraction of Americans currently without health care. According to the CBO, another tentative bill, this one coming out of the Senate Finance Committee, would cost even more -- $1.6 trillion. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124580516633344953.html.
Congress feel we don't have enough money to surport people with health care i feel the time they spend money on war and taking people tax money and reasons taxes, they can use more of that money to help those in need.Though someday in a human life every body must die,the life of a human is still valueable once it can be save.

I feel that every day somebody dies just because of the simple fact they don't have helth care to  help pay their medical bills or back them up if sumthing is wrong with them. In todays world people are dieing day by day wid no way to get help or pay for they death cause they have no health care to help them find out the simple reason they even die.Health care was made to help us the people with expences that is extremly high is the medical area but yet every year or twice a year health care is rasied with out giving people more help from the helth care funds.
