The article that I chose talks about the President’s “controversial individual health insurance
mandate” which has finally reached the supreme court this month. However, further along the
article topics such as the ones we were assigned to read this week were
mentioned. The first term is infant mortality rate. The article talks about how
the United States ranks 43rd internationally in infant mortality.
This article also addresses the term life expectancy . It mentions that
although life expectancy ranks 39 “according to U.N figures, in reality when “figures
are adjusted to account for death due to
violence, the United States rank N0 1…”
I found this very interesting because I
would never have imagined the United States to hold this position. This definitely
made me think more about how violence is something big in the country and made
me want to know more ways about what to do to help stop this or at least help
control this. Who knew that a country so great as America had big issues to
worry about such as that of violence. This article definitely made me become
more aware.
