Lauren,
ReplyDeleteHealth insurance is such a need due to how expensive hospital costs are. I mean one trip to the hospital and now you owe the hospital thousands. It’s ridiculous how expensive it has gotten. To top it off, health insurance has gone through the roof. Basic coverage is way too expensive that most people cannot afford it. I think health insurance prices should be lowered tremendously or your job should have to be forced to pay for half of your health insurance. If that was the case, more people could be able to afford health insurance.
Hey Lauren,
ReplyDeleteThe article about there being 14 percent of Floridians living without health insurance is really interesting and alarming. The cost of living has become so high that many people can't afford health insurance anymore, which is a problem that needs to be fixed. Also, the article about septic tanks supports the fact that many people are struggling with the cost of living, and are settling for cheaper, more harmful options. Great job!
Hey Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your local opportunities post. I have a couple questions about your first two posts. Specifically, I’m not sure how complex problems like the lack of health care and gun violence could be fixed from an entrepreneurship perspective. I’d be very interested to see how you can present creative and practical solutions to these issues if you choose them later in the course.
