As is well-known, there are many difficult economic situations that have come about because of the economic recessions. How many teenagers have been left without the ability to go to the doctor because their family cannot afford an insurance policy? How many teenagers are living without their families because of the economic burden they place on them? Do they risk their own health to reach their goals of living independently or to not cause more problems if they are living with their families?

What if there were programs that were well managed and that provided a low-cost or free health care program for these young adults? This generation would not sacrifice going to the doctor to get the check-ups that are so important in these years of crucial development. Teenagers would not deny themselves a visit to the doctor because of a potentially harmful situation. They would feel safe knowing that no matter how bad things got, their country provided them the services so that they wouldnt have to live with these fears.

There are currently some basic government programs but many are still not covered by the basic care that they need. Many are even in danger of not being renewed in the future. It is imperative that the young people in our nations feel that they have the option of taking a chance on an opportunity and not risking their health. If the United States of America is one of the most developed nations on this Earth, why arent these programs seen as a necessity and a priority within the health care system?
