America is such a melting pot these days but the thing we pride ourselves in the most is just a facade. There is still racial lingerings in the south as well as in the United States and it stinks to think that we are forgetting that we need to educate EVERYONE! How do we reach out to these minorities?

Prevention should be the primary focus of good health policy. If we can prevent the illness then we wouldn't have to treat the illness. Thanks Deborah.

Your words are compounded by the new Kaiser Family Foundation reports that were released today. Clearly change has to happen soon. http://www.statehealthfacts.org/downloads/womens-health-disparities/SC.pdf Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this key issue, Debbie.

Without prevention efforts, the available health care dollars are ultimately spent on the much more costly efforts of treatment. With health care costs already spiraling out of control, not investing in prevention is indeed very foolish.

Thank you Debbie for sharing this with us so frankly. It is time we faced the facts: our young people need help. They need to learn about abstinence, condoms, and birth control.
