  1. three important concepts I learned this semester.
  2. The first concept is that there are different factors that
  3. impacts certain populations health
  4. such as socioeconomic status,
  5. their culture and their religion,
  6. and how these factors can make it difficult to treat certain people.
  7. Another thing I learned this semester that I found was that I found interesting
  8. was about how people living longer is going to become a big public health issue
  9. Because by 2030, about 25% of people who are alive in the us
  10. Will be over 65 years old.
  11. This is of course due to
  12. the baby boomers getting old
  13. and it will increase the percentage of elderly people immensely
  14. in the next decade.
  15. It is going to test the strength of our health care system in the coming decade
  16. as more people get older and
  17. need individual care.
  18. I also learned how individual behavior can
  19. be changed through the help of support groups
  20. or with
  21. individual interventions, whether it be
  22. with a doctor or a close family member.
  23. Okay,
  24. three things I would change about healthcare in the us.
  25. Yeah.
  26. I think that if everyone regularly saw a primary care physician
  27. then this would positively impact health care in the US.
  28. So the first change I would make would be to spend a lot more money on primary care
  29. in my opinion. Primary care is something that can be very helpful
  30. because the primary care physicians take care of almost every aspect
  31. of a patient's health care
  32. and they send them to the specialists after assessment.
  33. Yeah.
  34. A major flaw and the U. S. Health care system is how expensive health insurance is.
  35. So the second change I would make would be to the cost of insurance.
  36. I would want to make it more affordable for those who already have it
  37. and make it more accessible for those who don't have it.
  38. And the last change I would make would be related to primary care.
  39. Um It is well known that people with cultural
  40. and language differences.
  41. You can have
  42. a lot of trouble
  43. with getting proper healthcare,
  44. proper individual health care
  45. due to these differences.
  46. So I would want to make changes that would
  47. make it less scary for people with these differences.
  48. Mm hmm.
  49. Yeah.
  50. Yeah.
  51. Social injustice.
  52. Yeah.
  53. As a student I am willing to support social justice. However I can
  54. whether it be assisting in educating people about issues
  55. or
  56. doing my part to understand struggles that people have every day
  57. and
  58. of course try to find ways to solve these current issues.
  59. See
