In addition, no one wants to spend their substantial amount of money if the procedure can make them look even worse than before. According to Sedghi, people who undergo plastic surgeries spend around $40, 000 per day and it gives a total of $15 billion per year contributing to the surgeries (2014). Everyone knows that plastic surgery is not a low-cost procedure and it is usually not covered by medical insurance policies unless it is a reconstructive purpose in order to correct defects on the body or faces due to accidents. Yet, according to Barbosa, people still having plastic surgeries each and each year even there are additional costs on it whereby the bill can be total up to 50% to 100% higher than the surgeon's fees (2012).

In the second verse Hill says “Phony nationalism”. This is speaking on how America is seen as such a great country even though America has been the cause of genocides, discrimination, slavery, and racism. We can 't just forget the injustices past citizens and ancestors have faced just because the world we are living in today is safer than it was then. This teaches us that we have to respect the past and current experiences of all citizens. This has a relation to the racism African Americans and generational trauma have faced.

The Government, who would also pay a year of living expenses to this person. About 63 million Americans volunteer each year, and excess of 300 billion dollars are donated each year. Americans on their own see the good in giving and volunteering their time and/or money. I feel like knowing you are forced to do a service most people aren 't going to want to do is going to create a lot of emotional problems such as depression or anxiety, suicide would be a factor too. Volunteering time is something people like to do because of how the rewards feel.

Health care for everyone is able to give people time out of the financial debt if they have no insurance. When you have no insurance you have to pay out of pocket for all doctor visits and also you might be rejected medical help.

Don 't you think that your body is worth the try?The government makes millions dollars of the medical industry weather prescription drugs,insurance companies,and doctor visits.

The aging population play a major role in healthcare cost in the US. People are living longer than ever before in history. This is of huge significance because the elderly population receive services through publicly funded programs such as Medicaid and Medicare and although many adults are living longer, they usually have chronic and multiple health conditions which require frequent and longer visits to health establishments. This demographic is expected to double in population size by the year 2050, approximately 20% of the population will be 65 years and older. It affects the entire climate of healthcare, providers are concerned with the reimbursement rates which seem to keep decreasing and not keeping up with inflation, and with over half of the workforce in retirement, the people working pay most of the taxes which affects the amount available for funding these programs.

In the Money & Medicine video from PBS, the intensity of the costs of scans and procedures specifically related to birth, final years of life, and certain types of cancer. Through this video, it was brought to my attention that nearly one-third of health care money is spent during the last two years of patients’ lives.

According to Fleming, “By 2020, healthcare spending is projected to be 19.8 percent of GDP, nearly one-fifth of economic output, increasing from 17.6 percent in 2010.” Since, Medicaid and Medicare are funded by Federal and State taxes (Medicare, 2015) with a fee-for-service system; the public will continue to pay for services provided. However, with a pay-for-performance system, providers will be required to make changes within their area of care to ensure that quality is administered and at a lower cost (Better Care, 2015).
