What are some political issues I care about and Why?

The U.S. Government helps keep order in America, but it is not a perfect system. They have many problems such as debt, unemployment, education, and etc. The problems that catch my attention are mainly healthcare and the national debt.

Healthcare costs have been rising up at over twice the general rate of inflation. This worries me because many people will not be able to afford healthcare. With a staggering 40 million uninsured in America, I worry about myself for the future. The system promises us quality, ''affordable'' health care. Yet why are so many uninsured if its so affordable? Healthcare is free in Canada, everyone is insured. I think and wonder, why can't healthcare be free in America? If healthcare was free in America, all the money we pay for healthcare could go to something else such as better education or feeding more homeless people. I think about the future and think, will I be able to afford healthcare for my family and I?

The national debt is another political issue I care about. I care about this because the U.S. owes so much money to so many different countries, I wonder if those countries will ever come after us? People say we can just print more money to pay off this debt, but wouldn't price values go up and the U.S. money value go down? I worry about this issue because I feel like the U.S. will reach a danger zone of ''debt'' and we will never be able to get out of this hole that we're stuck in.

Although the U.S. Government may seem like it has everything under control, it actually has many issues to resolve and find solutions for. The issues that I find important to resolve are healthcare and the national debt.
