My research question/inquiry question is going to be on various pharmaceutical medicine and the tolls and effects it does on your body and mind. I settled on this topic because I am interested on how good or bad certain pills can be.
I think its important to address the topic of pills and the side effects because I believe the pharmiceutical are more worried about how much money they are making over the the effects of the medicine.
I was planning on using some of the 2010 the healthcare reform as part of the scholars. I have also read online about different opinions about how some of the drugs are bad and good. For example...with pain killers...If you have a serious operation and need them but on the side effect they are highly addictive.
2nd blog post:
Ive decided to completely change my research topic to the Health Care crisis in the United States. I want to study on why the U.S. doesn't have a universal health coverage when the majority of developed nations have one. I was having difficulty finding information about various pharmaceutical studies that weren't very argumentative. Over the past few years there has a been a lot of talk on the news about health care and to be honest I didn't understand what was going on. I also believe there will be more information about the health care problem and I am sure theres plenty of people for and against a universal coverage.
My inquiry question is going to be.."Why doesn't the U.S. have Universal Health Care"
The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 was passed by Obama in 2010 and is supposed to take affect in 2014. In my essay I would like to go over the pros and cons of the bill and what different scholars have to say about it.
From what Ive researched so far families who made less then $88,000 a year will benefit most from the bill. Also small business owners are going to suffer from the bill. If your a small business owner and you have to purchase health care for all of your employees with each premium being around $5000-$10000 and you have 5 employees...thats 25-50 grand extra a year. How will the business owner be able to afford this? Simple, he will have to cut one of the employees. So, is the health care worth loosing a job? How many jobs will the health care cause to loose? Some estimate close to 100,000
I think my biggest challenges for this essay are going to be understanding the different government articles about the health care as some that I have read are quite confusing.
My biggest advice to my peers would be to read and re-read the MLA format and go over and over again on how to make up your sources. Unfortunately, at Campbell University (my previous college) I didn't do my sources correct and ended up causing me to make a D in English 1102...causing me to have to re-take it at UNCC.
Good, Will. When you get to your essay, you won't want to just report on the pros and cons of UHC. Rather, you'll write with a more specific purpose/construct your own argument. But it's good to research all sides now, and we'll cross this bridge when we get there!
