As I am at the doctor's office & just dished out $40 co-pay for a specialist --- it makes me think about all the students & families who have no insurance or can not afford the hefty co-pays. I paid $40 to speak with the doctor for all of 7 minutes. What?!
Is medical insurance a privilege or a right? I have asked this of my on-line students before & I've heard good arguments for both sides. It's hard for me when I personally have many medical ailments as does my mother. I've seen suffering for those with & without insurance. Maybe I'm not asking the right question, but maybe the whole medical field needs an overhaul.
