SUMMARY FOR “BETTER HEALTH FOR EVERYONE: HEALTH CARE IN TWO WORLDS”

This paragraph is talking about what is the situation in the two different worlds for the health care. It includes what is the most common diseases, and people how to solve these problems.

HEALTH CARE

1. In my country if you work for the government, the government will pay for your health care and will give you a special card to store some money in it every month. But if you are not work for the government, you should pay it by yourself and most of them are expensive.

2. The good thing is cheaper for the people who work for the government, but on another way, the more people should pay tons of money for their health care and in fact parts of them do not have enough money to pay for it. Just for me,  I think it is not a good system.

A SUMMARY FOR “AID- NOT SOMEONE ELSE’S PROBLEM”

In his article “aid- not someone else’s problem” Kenneth J . Pakenham thought there has a unknown virus in U.S 1982, and later in the 70s it has been named AIDS. The government and medical experts thought there have at least three ways to infect AIDS, soon people get more information about AIDS, includes reason and method. In U.S AIDS has been spread very fast till 20 century it has been a dangerous global disease. In the 2001, experts still do not believe that there will has a way to heal the disease effectually. Because they know it is hard to make people change their beohaviors what can cause AIDS. And now there are three main ways to stop developing prevention AIDS, they are high cost, less socially acceptable hehavior and wrong cognizance for AIDS. Till now we get more information about how to prevent the disease, so that is is easy to developing the prevention programs.

Responds to “While tobacco is usually a slow killer”

Responds 

In her article “a life cut short by Tobacco” Terry Martin writes “While tobacco is usually a slow killer, with the 

toxins and carcinogens in tobacco smoke taking years to poison us, that’s not always the way of it. Sometimes tobacco

 strikes a person down young.” The author’s point is smoking is very bad for your health and it just likes a killer who close to you slow. 

I agree with her opinion, because one of my uncle start smoking from 14 years old to now. On his 36 years birthday 

party the year before last year I fond all of his tooth turn black and totally looks like a drug man.  Unfortunately, he 

dead by smoking.
