This exercise is about the welfare states in Denmark and the United States. It includes the difference between the two welfare states, and how the new health care reform is going to affect the society in the USA. Denmark is a country with public benefits, which means that we can go to the hospital without paying. In the United States you have to pay for everything, which is not a good idea, because many Americans do not get the help they need, because they can not afford it.
There are many reasons why it is so difficult to introduce the reform. The president of the United States, Barack Obama, delivers a speech last year in September. He talks about the quality of his country, and how a new health care reform can help poor people to a better life. He also mentions the financial crisis, which is a big problem in the country. Finally the exercise includes that The United States is the only country in the world without a health care reform. Obama wants the best for his country, and that’s why he is trying to help thousands of people.
Indledning
Jeg har valgt at skrive opgaven om velfærd, i henholdsvis Danmark og USA. Jeg synes at emnet er spændende, da man kan sammenligne hovedtrækkene i den amerikanske velfærdsstat, med vores egen. Ligeledes kan man diskutere hvilke fordele og ulemper sundhedsreformen kan have. Emnet er også meget relevant, da debatten om sygesikring i USA, er et meget centralt emne nu om dage.
