As lucky as we all are to being living in such a fortunate town as Newtown, it is common that we take the littlest things for granted. Whether it be a great meal to eat every night, or a safe place to live, it’s hard to say that we all sit down and are thankful for what we are given every day. For the ones that are not as fortunate as we are, we then see how grateful we really are, and then we appreciate things that we are given.

In the New York Times, an article was written on the problems with immigrants coming into hospitals expecting treatment, for even the simpliest things, such as a cold, because of their lack of health care coverage. “For Immigrants, Checking to See if the Doctor Is In” talks about how “Greenwich Hospital, like many other hospitals in the New York area, is increasingly finding itself providing uncompensated medical care to poor, uninsured and often illegal immigrants”.

Although it would be impossible to have every hospital in the United States follow the lead of Greenwich Hospital, it really would help benefit the unfortunate people receive proper medical help. This could be our giving back to the society gift that would be the life or death end of someone.
