     One of the biggest arguments that are in our health care book is that in the United States our infant mortality rate is very high, and that life expectancy is way down for a country that is so advanced in medicine. First off with the infant mortality rate there is an author in the book who explains his reasoning for why its so high here. He says that with our cultural diversity and poor eating habits have a lot to do with it. Some societies in the US do not use the technology that we use. There people are trained to help with child birth however; they can not control some of the more advanced things that can happen during child birth.
      I'll always say it, what you eat can change your life. Over in the States we eat crap constantly. Fast food is on ever corner and exercise is a thing of the past. Most of us have watch Super Size Me at some point in our life and saw how powerful the food can be. Not only is it addicting but it has the power to give you mood swings. When I'm at work I see people constantly day to day. Talking to some of my managers they have noticed people getting bigger and bigger month by month. And we wonder why people are dying so young.
     Okay so some people probably wonder what I think of the food here. Yes I do taste my food. The quality of food is leaps and bounds higher then our food. I don't think taco bell even exists here for one,  two the amount of Mcdonlads is like the amount Long John Silvers, third the food tastes more natural. The Italians idea of fast food is a sit down restaurant in the States. Instead of taxing all the people of America why don't they tax the things that we know for a fact that make us unhealthy. The companies who pollute the air and water and who do not make healthy food.
      We are giving the government one more thing to control. They have destroyed Social Security for our generation and yet we are so willing to give them more to control. If someone keeps breaking your car are you going to keep letting them drive it? I wouldn't until they prove themselves responsible. So how could our government prove to me that they are out for the good of America and not the parties. Make sure I can retire and not 80 years from now, I'll probably be dead by then. Make people work, I have a huge problem with Obama phone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpAOwJvTOio). My parents work hard to give me a phone so why not reward them a contributing member of society? Why is it the people who get free money who live easy lives? Will I work till I die? Most importantly is there still an American Dream?
