Since I have not sufficiently researched this topic, its hard to know exactly how healthcare polling emerged. However, as I get further into my Issue History paper, I will know more about the issue. Some things I can guess about is that healthcare is relatively new (late 1800s, early 1900s). The reason for this assumption is that healthcare did not become that advance until that time frame. However, since more technically advance healthcare has emerged, individuals are living longer which makes it more important that individuals have health insurance. People are able to survive things that people use to die from; diabtetes, colds, fever, etc. This is all because of advancements in medication, much of which can be bought over the counter.
One thing I hope to discuss in my Issue paper is what finally made public polling on healthcare important. Why did they start asking questions about healthcare? It would be apparent that the reason that healthcare questions in polling has evolved is beacuse of the technical advances and rising costs of individuals healthcare. However, i want to get more exact answers on these questions.
It is apparent that the recent media coverage on healthcare has drastically increased in the past year more so than at any other point in my lifetime. Obamas new healthcare plan has gathered much of the medias attention and has consumed much of the public polling. Nevertheless, I want to look to see if there has been any issue on healthcare that has caused as much turmoil as the plan that Obama wants to pass.
In my paper I want to discover these differing trends and relate it back to the overall issue on healthcare. If healthcare debate has been a reocurring theme, I also want to compare and contrast trends to see why we cannot get it right.
