Surgery became more common in removing tumors, infections, appendectomies, and gynecological operations. With the increase in medical technology, USA was behind other European countries in insuring against the costs of sickness.¹⁵ Up until about 1920 most surgeries were performed in their own homes. When individuals became sick, more money was lost from missed wages from work rather than medical expenses.¹⁶ Then President Theodore Roosevelt campaigned for the Progressive Party that supported a national health insurance. However the progress of such plan was postponed due to World War I.¹⁷ With the increased costs of healthcare at this time, reform progression for a national health insurance focused more on medical care instead of wages lost due to sickness.¹⁵ Then in 1929 the Baylor University Hospital in Dallas, Texas started a prepaid hospital insurance program with its local teacher unions. This plan gave teachers twenty-one days of hospital care for $6.00 per year.
Even though during the civil war, many medical advancements were being made, they were not being made quick enough to save approximately 400,000 soldiers who died from disease and infection. The main reason why many soldiers didn’t know of disease and infections was because the doctors assigned to their camps didn’t know of them. Before the Civil war, doctors were not trained for the conditions they would later face during the war. Many doctors served as apprentices rather than going to medical school and getting a formal education.
There are parts of the hospital for massing and to these people massaging is serious, just like surgery. A person who works in a hospital may not work in the massaging department until they have worked there for a year and have passed testes to preform on patients. Most patients who have been exposed to massaging will say they can feel warmth and they can feel their Chi being released, just like their blood flowing through their body. In the west there is no cure for fibrocystic breast cancer, but to the Chinese medicine, massaging works. In the movie one woman with this disease expressed that she tried taking medicine and it never worked, but massaging works along with having hardly any pain.
WW1 ends – The ending of WW1 meant that the European countries were able to meet their own demands and therefore did not need any more supplies from America. Farmers suffered from overproduction and could not afford to keep their homes or pay mortgages, some farmers even decided to become sharecroppers. In 1924, 600,000 farmers went bankrupt. Also, there was stiff competition from Canadian, Australian and Argentinean farmers who were selling vast amounts of grain to the world market.

Free healthcare would preserve many lives. There is a significant amount of people that are dying, due to lack of health insurance, and the inability to pay for coverage. Today, even people who have fulltime jobs are often incapable of purchasing healthcare. Many jobs do not offer insurance, and people that lose their jobs are often left out. If healthcare was free, every citizen would have access to see a physician.
The reasons this occurs is due to numerous factors like the number of companies going out of business, lack of job growth, future plans for job growth does not meet the need, founding father’s not allowing large business to come to town, education level of community, sales tax is high, and average household income is low. Another reason for the high unemployment rates in Mohave County is that there are some very rural areas and job availability is low.

There were many problems African Americans were facing before the New Deal became an instrument in the saving of the United States economy. Because of the Depression, African Americans workers were pushed out of jobs, favoring White workers. Because Blacks were last hired and first fired, it made it easier for them to lose their jobs at faster rates. The near subjugation of the tenant farming system destroyed many work opportunities for blacks to have any work because many black agricultural workers did not have other job skills, they were highly unlikely to get employment elsewhere. Many black farmers could not obtain contracts for their crops.
It isn’t right for Obama Care to force everyone to get health insurance but it is the most logically because insurance companies cannot deny anyone so that everyone can be covered. There are about 32 million people who don't have health insurance. If something happens, and they have to go to the hospital, they often just don't pay the bill, and the hospital has to cover it.
