Hey Jordan,
We can all collectively agree that your project's focus is continuing to be a relevant problem here in our country. That being said, your project is quite distinguishable from the other projects. I can appreciate how your poster focuses on evaluating the feasibility of universal healthcare versus simply how inequitable healthcare seems to be at the moment, for many. In particular, your limitations taught me to look more towards understanding the fundamental system of healthcare rather than looking towards what we as people want from it. In response, it begs to offer the question: Its universal viability seems like a long-term issue; how might political processes be a driving force in seeing universal healthcare versus accessibility or affordability?…
This project stood out to me because I have researched the concept of Universal Healthcare in the U.S and was curious to learn more about it. From reading the poster I learned that political viability is a greater implementation barrier than cost is because of the for profit medical system our country has. With this in mind, do you think there has been increasing political and public support for UHC and do you think the chances of it passing are increasing as well?
Hi Jordan! Your poster stood out to me because this is one of the most important issues right now, especially during the pandemic when healthcare is most important. I learned that Universal Healthcare is feasible and the U.S. can afford to implement it, which many critics argument against. However, it's interesting that it will only work if structural change is made to our economy and health care system. How do you think UHC could be passed in our current polarized political climate? It would be challenging.
Hi Jordan, I was drawn to your poster because universal healthcare coverage is a topic I see often discussed on my Twitter feed. What I learned from your poster is that the U.S. is the only first world country that does not have any form of universal healthcare coverage. I was wondering if lines at the doctor’s office will be longer with UHC.
Hi Jordan. Your project stood out because of the constant debate of the feasibility of universal healthcare. I learned that despite many people saying it is not, universal health care could be a real possibility. It seems that we need to look more at the facts rather than just what politicians say. How much do you think the quality of care would be affected if the U.S. were to implement UHC?
