A mother brings her son into the emergency room during an asthma attack. Though both of his parents work, they cannot afford medical insurance for themselves or him. They also earn too much money to qualify for state or federal aid or subsidies. He is treated for his asthma attack at the hospital and he and his mother leave. Two weeks later, they return to the hospital in a virtually identical scenario.

1. Do you think that this boy is receiving adequate care?
2. Should he be able to see a primary-care physician before his condition gets so acute that he must visit the ER?3. Should everyone be entitled to a basic minimum of health care or to the exact same health care?4. Do you think that health care is a right? If so, is everyone forced to honor this right?5. Is this right relative or universal?6. Does this right exist because of the wealth of the United States, or is it applicable everywhere?7. Is health care a luxury?8. Does having money entitle a person to better health care?

Answer:

I think it's not fair because 1.hes having a asthma attack parents can't seem to afford it and since they earn too much for state or federal aid they would have no choice, 2(Well of course they shouldnt let the boy be ignored to the point where he has to go to the ER.

3(some people with financial issues should have some leniency when they cant pay or earn too much, or of age.

4(It can be right and wrong people have a lot of differences i think it is right but health care does have some flaws within it, but just because one person thinks it doesnt mean its the right way or the best way.

5.(It can be relative because certain cultures have different thoughts and beliefs

6.Well if it was because of the wealth united states would be covering some people who don't earn enough, i'm not sure if this is applied anywhere else though.

7/8. Well yes and no because having lots of money can get you a good healthcare but remember at the beginning it says they EARN too much so if you don't earn a lot you could get some coverage, so you could be rich and poor and get coverage

Step-by-step explanation:

This took awhile i hope you can use this have a good day!
