Many families struggle to support their families, close friends and themselves health wise due to money issues. In John Q , a father of a son who desperately needs a new heart, is willing to go through hell and back for his son to survive. The “ Social Justice Issue” is represented as a very low, uncaring system towards their patients. As a country, we people expect a system to care for and to protect us. Everyone deserves to live happy and healthy life. John’s son , Mikey, needs a heart transplant in order to live. Mikey and his father have insurance, only this insurance company does not cover heart surgery because it is an elective surgery, and they aren’t willing to work with John to come up with the money to cover Mikey’s surgery.
