HW 32 - Thoughts following illness & dying unit

What we eat inevitably affects our health and, based on what we've learned in the last unit, the majority of Americans diets effect them negatively. The fatty, salty, sugary, and genetically modified foods sold nation wide eventually lead to illnesses such as Diabetes and Heart disease. Both illnesses are extremely expensive to treat so, in a country where Universal health care is not available, it is important buy up the best health care coverage before you're stuck paying for these expenses yourself in the long run! Another issue is that because the majority of Americans eat particularly unhealthy, that also means that these expensive diseases are very common. Hearth Disease, for example, is the leading cause of death in the world! This means that not every American with health care and a common illness can be treated equally. This, to me, explains why heath insurance companies try and do as many cutbacks as they can, because if profit is their main interest, then they won't find it trying to help everyone of their costumers who have illnesses with expensive treatments.
