I got some great feedback and decided to do my I-Search on healthcare. Healthcare is so important to the country. I believe that we should have universal healthcare, so that people don't have to worry about getting sick. I think that I will focus on socialized medicince and what the US would have to do to reach a universal healthcare system. Many other country's have a system where you don't have to pay, in France, I think, they actually pay for your transportation home. Finland, Sweden, England and Germany are other countries with an universal healthcare system. I would like to do my research on other countries system and compare it to the US's and what the US needs to do to reach that system. I will also branch out to what the Presidential Candidates are doing to improve the system and what the winner does.
I have a very strong personal interesting the this topic. In America, if you get sick, you can lose your job, your house and be put in debt for the rest of your life. This happens to people all of the time is totally not fair. People are afraid to get sick or hurt. In a country that has universal healthcare, if you get sick and miss work, you are paid and you do not have to worry. What I described in the latter is the kind of place that I want to live in. I don't want to live where I can't to get sick. My parents lived in Australia, which has an universal healthcare system and they said it was great.
Healthcare is either 2nd or 3rd in polls of what is important to voters this election. Both candidates have ideas to fix the healthcare system. There is no guarantee that either candidate will address the issue while in office. When researching the topics before hand, I was getting 3 or 4 articles written the day before, so this topic is very suitable to ongoing research.
The availability this topic has is also very good. It is a very important topic and people write about it a lot. There are many articles about the failing healthcare system, but not a lot on socialized medicine. There are Opposing Viewpoints on healthcare, which is always good because I love Opposing Viewpoints.
This topic degree of challenge isn't the highest in the world but it will still have an edge to it. The availability of information will make it easy to find articles of information. Sifting through all of it will probably the hardest, and finding what I need and not just fluff.
I am very excited to write about healthcare and I am sure I will have lots of fun with it.
