The United States does not have universal health care or system of socialized medicine, although programs such as Medicare and Medicaid provide basic health insurance to elderly, disabled, and poor residents. For most US residents, health insurance is provided as an employee benefit, leaving unemployed and part-time workers to pay for their own insurance (Americans are basically forced to have full-time work in this sense). As of 2001, 41.2 million people in the United States (14.6% of the US population), including 8.5 million children, had no health insurance coverage. By 2004, this had risen to 45 million (15.6%). The US Census Bureau attributed the drop primarily to the loss of employer-provided plans due to the economic downturn and a continuation of rising costs.

The U.S. educational system is compulsory for the first 9-12 years of education, depending upon in which state one may reside. While most students upon graduation are between 17 and 18 years of age, many states allow for the student to voluntarily remove themselves from enrollment. This is an action which has come to be termed as "dropping out", as these students have not successfully completed the requirements necessary to gain a diploma, and has created social issues.

Although some funding does come from the federal government, it is almost entirely funded and controlled individually by state and local governments, and school districts. Within a state, primary control of educational system rest with the state, which then delegates authority to local authorities. Although the Department of Education wields some authority, most powers concerning schooling remain with the states.

The funding and condition of the school system in each municipality is largely determined by the school district or local government. In affluent communities, especially those with large numbers of childbearing families, the educational system tends to be more heavily funded on a per student basis and tends to be more effective. Communities that are less affluent or have a lower percentage of childbearing families generally spend less money per child.

Answer 5

ghettos, squatter settlements, homelessness, current issues of surrounding gender politics (e.g. the appreciation and recognition - or lack thereof - of the jobs typically help by women in society), the unfair distribution of the benefits in society (e.g. schools, hospitals etc) based on how much money a regions has (also called SPATIAL injustice).

Answer 6

one to demonstrate how it is engrained in our institutions even in sports.

the NCAA sanctioned the Univ of Illinois for its indian mascot as it was deemd demeaning to native americans yet the NCAA looks the other way when it was pointed out their favorite independent school (Notre Dame) has the fighting irish that they consider not demeaning to Irish American. Its apparently OK only for some to have to be politically correct.
