Who causes the most outbreaks of illness?

Question

people who can afford to goto the doctor and get antibiotic, or those who can't?

If the rate of contact between people who can afford health care, and the people who can't goes down by extending Healthcare access to those who can't afford it, do you think that your chances of getting sick from them would decrease, and reduce your own medical expenses?

Children and adults in families with incomes below or near
the federal poverty level have worse health than those with
higher incomes (see Appendix II, Poverty for a definition of
the federal poverty level). Although, in some cases, illness
can lead to poverty, more often poverty causes poor health
by its connection with inadequate nutrition, substandard
housing, exposure to environmental hazards, unhealthy
lifestyles, and decreased access to and use of health care
services (1).

so bearbait7351, health insurance is percieved to be free? even with higher copays for emergency room visits?

Answer 1

Universal Health care!

We all pay taxes we all should benefit from them!

Answer 2

Not necessarily, my former employer almost forced it's employees to come to work even if you were sick and yes we did have sick days and health insurance, so in turn that just spread it to other employees and it was a public contact job. I know many people that go to work when they are sick and are covered by health insurance and don't go to a doctor. Some feel as if they must tough it out, but aren't doing yourself or anybody else any favors by coming to work or school sick

Answer 3

No worries.

Hillary will end disease, world hunger and poverty in her first term by taking from the rich and giving to the poor.

I just feel bad that she'll have to eventually break it to all her major campaign contributors. I'm sure they're going to feel betrayed but, hey, who cares?

We'll all be able to sit home unemployed, eat, maintain our health, have money in the bank and watch "As the White House Turns" on t.v. !!!!

Answer 4

bacteria and viruses generally. part two no you will pay more because it (medical care) will be perceived to be free thus leading to its increased use
