HEALTH CARE DISCUSSION REFLECTION

I would have to say that I really liked this discussion. It gave a chance for everyone to voice his or her thoughts and opinions on health care. I am not very much of a public speaker but I do like to express my thoughts. This discussion gave me a chance to hear other people’s thoughts on the issue. I never would have guessed some of the things they had to say. I did have the urge to kind of “cut people off” as they were talking to express why I disagreed with them but I withheld my voice. I would like to be able to “cut people off” because by the time they were done talking I had forgot what I had to say or they had brought something new up that I had disagreed upon. But other than that I think the discussion went really well. I’ve learned a lot of new things about health care by listening to other people and looking up my questions online but there is still so much that I don’t know. I will probably continue to learn about health care but I’ll probably get stuck on our next topic as well. Thanks for teaching me about health care Mr. Palo.
