    Bruce Alexander’s essay “Reframing Canada’s ‘Drug Problem’”, discusses the ever-growing epidemic of substance addiction plaguing Vancouver’s streets. In this paper, Alexander encourages readers to re-evaluate classic drug intervention methods: criminal prosecution, medical or psychological treatment, and “harm reduction” techniques, as they focus on fixing the addicts rather than fixing the true origin of their substance abuse problems. Ultimately, Alexander argues that people’s “dislocation” from their lives (meaning their lack of identification with their traditional culture and with people that surround them), is the very root of drug addiction. He goes on to suggest that this “dislocation” is a result of Canada’s selfish market and economy…

    In 2010, The Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, was implemented across the United States to address the foremost issues in today’s Healthcare. These problems include lack of accessibility to quality healthcare, growing cost of care, and quality of care. While the affordable care act addresses concern of access to care for the underprivileged, it creates other new complications regarding cost and quality. Obamacare has succeeded in making care more accessible and now millions of Americans are now newly insured under government subsidized healthcare exchanges. However, the cost of care for those previously insured from either their employer or privately has increased dramatically.…

    Many countries have been struggling to determinate whether health care should be either public or private or maybe both. Governments are always trying to decide what is best for the population because their job is to keep the community healthy. In this essay, I argue that Canada should provide all their citizens with public health care supporting more liberalism ideas and not implementing private healthcare. I claim that Canada should provide public healthcare because helps to achieve equal opportunities and because healthcare is a human necessity citizens should receive. I then address the counterarguments that private healthcare could provide some benefits to Canadians because patients do not have to wait too long to have an appointment,…

    In the controversial act known as the physician aid-in-dying (PAD) challenges us to question our ethical, religious, and cultural values or beliefs. Although it is tragic and perceived as morally inappropriate, suicide is sometimes the only answer. In certain cases this act is a way to end excruciating pain and suffering through modern medicine. The state of Oregon passed a law known as the Death with Dignity Act in 1994. PAD is defined as “a practice in which a physician provides a competent, terminally ill patient with a prescription for a lethal dose of medication, upon the patient 's request, which the patient intends to use to end his or their own life” (Braddock, and Tonelli).…

    The right to affordable health care is as sacrosanct as the right to be free, if not more. The most important issue is making medical care a right for everyone at an affordable price. American health care has an insurance-based system; thus, to get affordable and efficient medical help, you should be insured. Currently, there are about 44 million uninsured Americans. According to Elizabeth Bradley, the author of the book The American Health Care Paradox, the paradox of today’s system is that “United States spends so much on health care but continues to lag behind in health outcomes” (33).…

    Health care reform is one of the most controversial topics in the United States because so many people in the country cannot afford health care or may not have the right amount of coverage for certain conditions. The health care system is flawed in that it produces financial and political displeasure in Americans because of expensive plans and rejection of Medicaid expansion to politically break the Affordable Care Act (“ObamaCare”). Health care reform would be a positive change in this country because it will improve the issues of unreliable health insurance plans, the absence of healthcare awareness educators, and expensive healthcare for seniors. By the year 2015, it will be mandatory that all citizens of the United States have health insurance…
