Outbreaks were also reported in children who had been given one dose of vaccine. In 1989, it was recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians to implement a second dose of vaccine to children in all grades by 2001. With this second dose required of school age children, the United States declared endemic measles eliminated. (xxxxx, 2014) Measles is currently on the rise in the U.S. for the first time since the U.S. declared it eliminated. From January to May 2014 there have been 288 confirmed cases of measles.
I have discussed the advantage of the consumer driven health plans. I talked about the advantage and disadvantage of the reforming health care.

Obama Care so called "Health Benefit Exchanges" by the 2010 affordable care act, This is where people who don’t get their insurance through their employer can go to buy coverage. This was set up to supply medical coverage to insurance companies to complete for an affordable health plan. These exchanges were designed to buy coverage to some 50 million American’s who lack it.

Also the insurance companies will provide many free services like flu shots, routine checkups and tests for cancer, diabetes, and cholesterol. An addition to the above benefits the ObamaCare allows for all kids to stay with their parent’s insurance plans until they have 26 years, this is a good opportunity because the kids could have their own insurance when they have the financial capability to pay their health insurance. Despite of these pros, many people are against Obama Care because it has many cons for example; is important to know that people who don't purchase health insurance by March 31, 2014, and they don't qualify for Medicaid, they will need to pay a fee. This fee will be increase each year for all people who don’t have a health insurance, and it can be so expensive.

A Law That Saves Lives I wish today that Congressman Jim Howard, the wonderful chairman of the House Public Works and Transportation Committee, was here with us to celebrate the 20 years of saving 20,000 lives. Not long before his death in 1988, Chairman Howard talked about returning home to his district in Asbury Park, New Jersey, after an especially grueling week in Washington. Exhausted, making his way home he noticed the many lights on in the windows of the homes as he drove by, and he wondered which lights just might be burning bright that night because someone's life had been saved by "21" or one of the other highway safety laws he had shepherded through the

Universal healthcare is needed because insurance is becoming unaffordable for businesses and individuals. Having a universal healthcare system would be great because everyone in the United States would be treated equaly when it comes to seeking medical attention.
I do this will affect health insurance specialist but only for the better rather than worse.

Sexual Liberation in the 1970's Name HIS145 Date Instructor Sexual Liberation in the 1970's It could be said that the introduction of the birth control pill to the public in 1960 started the sexual revolution. Over the past 50 years, “the pill” has gone through many changes. The first pill was effective but dangerous.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommend flu vaccination for all Americans over the age of 6 months. Immunizations against influenza provide fair protection or can lessen the symptoms if the disease is contracted.
