Since my topic is Multiple sclerosis treatment, Interferon-Beta is going to cost money. A lot of money, but some people who have kids with MS don't have enough money to get the treatment. I think that health care should be a right or a at least be less. Then again, I know that the doctors who spend their time going to school to help us and it won't be fair if they're treating us for free and they get nothing out of it, so I do think that it should at least be lower, because going back to my topic, the medicine is pretty expensive and not everyone can pay for it. The a high chance of a kid or a person having MS, than someone being able to pay for the treatment.

Just like how I explained at the top, I now quite undecided after thinking more about it and hearing from others about how they feel. I say that I'm more in the middle, saying that it should have a cost, but little amount though. Don't see why it has to be so pricey. People are too afraid to go to hospitals because that don't want to be in dept. The sometimes rather be in pain more than in dept if anything. That's what it seems like to me. And I read an article awhile a go and read about a guy would paid for the medication for MS but it failed to work and the company didn't give them a refund. He wasted a lot of money on fail medication, which I think is horrible. If it wasn't so pricey, would he still be asking for a refund. I just don't think that health care should be free "People no more have a right to health care than they have a right to education, food, or clothing."

Other quotes the sounded good:

"As soon as I got close enough to see that the skin on his hands and legs was bubbled over and charred, I realized that it was, indeed, bad enough to need a visit.

My second thought was, "But how will I pay for it?"

"At a time when 60 million people, including many with insurance, do not have access to a medical home, more than 18,000 Americans die every year from preventable illnesses because they do not get to the doctor when they should."
