In defense of those who disagree

Blake Ziegler | Wednesday, November 13, 2019

Health care is a contentious issue in American politics. In the Nov. 5 elections, an NBC exit poll found that 41% of Americans polled cited health care as their primary concern, topping even economic concerns. Of the voters, 70% expressed the need for “major change” in American healthcare policy. Democrats are looking to capitalize on

To all those who strongly disagree

Show Some Skin | Wednesday, November 6, 2019

Upon entering North Dining Hall on Tuesday, I lost my appetite.  As my eyes scanned the responses scattered across the display board entitled “Should the U.S. enact Medicare for all?,” spanning from strongly disagree to strongly agree, I felt mixed emotions. Disbelief. Hope. Disgust. Anger. Shock. All of the above. The amount of times I

Students, administrators reflect on state of University Health Services

Mary Bernard | Tuesday, April 17, 2018

Two weeks before finals in the spring of his junior year, senior Brian Pulawski fell off his skateboard and landed on his hand with his thumb bent underneath it.

Disappointed in the University

Letter to the Editor | Monday, November 6, 2017

Dear Ms. Duffy, Do you know what I would fight for? Women’s health rights and equal access to modern healthcare. One of the great benefits protected by the Affordable Care Act is women’s access to these services, which positively impact social determinants of health and help progress equality for women and reality-based family planning.

The right to health

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, November 8, 2016

On July 4, 1776, our Founding Fathers declared that men “are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Today, many people are, due to a lack of access to readily available health care services, prevented from pursuing their natural rights because of the

A bumpy ride

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, October 4, 2016

This summer, I spent eight weeks in Antigua, Guatemala, for the Center for Social Concerns’ International Summer Service Learning Program (ISSLP). Before leaving for Guatemala, I had many expectations — among them, I hoped to receive substantial clinical experience, to learn about the Guatemalan culture, to improve my Spanish and to help students with their homework.

Health care is a hot-button topic in the U.S. today, especially with the upcoming presidential elections. We, Partners In Health (PIH) Engage, challenge you to find a single newspaper where the issue is not mentioned several times a week. Yet, while this issue is much-debated, the myopic focus on the U.S. health care system eclipses
