Health Insurance Unit

One thing I for sure learned about health insurance is that it isn’t as difficult as I thought. With a simple equation, you can find an average price and it’s easy after a while. Honestly, I really enjoyed this unit because it was fun and sometimes challenging. I loved the probability aspect of it and learned a lot. For example, the price everyone should pay can’t always be the perfect answer for everyone, which leads me to my next topic. I personally think the best method is having the option to drop out, yet the prices are fair, (Rich pay more, poor pay less.) There is no perfect method though because otherwise, the insurance would never make money. In conclusion, it can never be “fair.”

I think that the most important issues with fairness and unfairness in providing health insurance are that the rich pay less and the poor have to pay more. I still wonder why they don't switch it around and have some rich pay for some of the poor because it is very unfair. I think when I'm older I will try and help my friends and family pay for their insurance as long as I can still afford mine. I'm still not the best with groups because it's hard for me to talk to people but I'll try my best. I want to get better at false positive's for sure because I'm still confused. I think I will be more open to others opinion and still have my own.
