Module 5.2 “ Sustainability, Health and Healing”

I am surprised that prisoners are given free universal health care in “top notch medical facilities” while the local community members are not! What also surprised me was the situation where the women was denied financial assistance from her insurance company on the ambulance ride she received after a car accident. Apparently she was supposed to get it pre-approved, what a mess!

I also learned that the USA ranked #37 in Health Care Ranking. The American culture has definitely lost sight of the cultural norms that we teach our youth and practice as adults; taking care of one another. Instead, the government is encouraging and supporting the idea that money is more important than your health, the unity of our country and the environment. The government has forgotten how to use the basic tools of what we learn from our ancestors. I feel that the government is not communicating the right messages to the citizens of the United States of America. It’s a shame!
