V5: Marilyn | Queens, NY
When we do get sick we want to have fast reactions and when we don’t people die, people get even sicker. People are afraid to go to the emergency room because they know how long they’re going to have to wait.
V6: Candice | Florida
I think for the caliber of the country the United States is, our healthcare system is pretty poor.

They can cut cost a little because a lot of people can’t afford a lot of things. So if they can cut cost a little bit, it will be a lot easier for people to maintain their health.
V9: Arecelis | New York City
The benefits that they provide to the patients suck. Taking benefits from patients that are in dire need is not loving or caring to the people of the United States.
V10 Darleen | Bronx, NYC
The working man should be able to afford quality care. And, the doctors nowadays all they do is see you for 5 minutes, everything is like a template.
V11: Karen | Brooklyn, NYC
I would like to see diabetes improve. My daughter, their mother died three years ago from juvenile diabetes. And even though I was a nurse and I educated her as much as I could, I don’t think she got enough emotional support.

V14: Rob | Brooklyn, NYC
I went to the ER on a Monday & the wait time was extremely long. The nurse seemed more interested in her problems than my own. I ended up waiting for so long that I just left. I didn’t receive care for my fractured wrist.

My parents are in their 90’s, & they’ve had a difficult time, sometimes they are treated insignificantly. There could be a little bit more understanding. When it comes to the elderly, there’s room for improvement there.

V20 Ramsey, Bushwick, NYC
We can have groups to raise awareness that we do kind of have some control on where the direction of healthcare and the availability of it goes. Maybe we could just share ideas within the community and maybe it will get on a grander scale. Hopefully!
V21: Kristin | Brooklyn NYC
