Health & Education in U.S.A

Reading through different articles one thing is for sure, U.S.A is facing a collapse in its health and education policy. If we see the current scenario both health and education is getting so costly no common person can afford it. Both health and education is one of the key drivers for building an efficient and productive new generation.

If you see the current scenario that people who loose jobs are no longer able to continue their health insurance they will be bankrupt if they get sick and is hospitalized.

If you see the statistics from U.S Census Bureau it says that only 26% of Americans have a college degree or high degree. So what could be the reasons for this? The public schools are free here but after that any degree education costs are high. Students will have to either rely on their parents, scholarship or loans. America with a society with 2% savings and who lives out of credit cards, students cannot rely on their parents to fund them and scholarships are only for the bright ones. So the only option is to take a loan which makes them creditors the day they land with a job. Then they take credit for automobiles, home any thing you think about and their whole life will be revolved around in paying back debts. And this vicious circle will continue into their next generation.

So for U.S to really progress they need to relook at their health and education policies.
