Health Status Today



From experience of visiting Scotland and Robeson County hospitals, I personally feel like their are many who can't afford insurance or they don't have the patience to sit around and wait to be seen, when they aren't feeling well. Also, many individuals don't believe in going to hospitals and doctor's offices, because they think its just a way to get people money. Older minority individuals that I know feel like back in the day, their weren't many physicians and they don't need to go to a physician, God controls their health and wellness. From reading the article, I would have never stop farmers have a shorter life expectancy than the other citizens. I thought due to them eating fresh crops and getting exercise by doing daily farming duties their health much better. One question I have is why don't these hospitals in urban areas that are doing so well lend a helping hand to those in urban areas that aren't.
