Hey everyone!
My name is Allie Mendez and I am a senior at Illinois State University. I am a Political Science Major with a Minor in Legal Studies and am planing on becoming a paralegal after graduation. I am a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority of which my older sister Katie is also a member.
I am really looking forward to this class because I find Public Opinion to be very interesting and it allows for the discussion of controversial issues, where people get to voice their opinions on these topics. For this project I chose to examine healthcare because it is something that has affected me and my family directly. I was born with a kidney condition that requires yearly visits to a specialist and every now and then I have to go on medication to get the problem under control. My older sister Katie was also diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in October, which has forever changed her life. She has to take daily injections to prevent flares from happening. Because of the fact that both me and my sister have preexisting conditions if something was not changed about the healthcare system it would be very difficult/expensive for us to get insured once we are off our parents insurance.
This is a topic that is very close to my heart and I am looking forward to reading and doing research and finding out what the public opinion is on this matter. Obviously I believe that our healthcare system needs changing, but I am also very open to hearing other's view on the topic so that I can be as informed as possible and create an educational opinion on this topic. This is my first ever blog and I look forward to writing many more!
