Q After viewing the movie and completing both readings from Module 6, we will try to articulate the perspectives of the four characters in the movie who are from four different socioeconomic backgrounds.  Based on your last name, identify which of the four characters you are assigned to represent: A-F: Jim, the hospital CEO G-L:  Tondra Young, lab technician M-Q:  Corey Anderson, janitor R-Z:  Mary Turner, unemployed mother First Post: What would your character say are the obstacles that they face to achieving health and well-being for themselves and their families?  Adopt your character’s voice and try to articulate their perspective given what you have learned from the movie and the readings. (Please enter your character’s name in the subject line of the discussion.) Relate your comments to a specific idea from our readings from this week.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the least access one has to opportunities and possible resources for healthcare and awareness about it and 1 being the highest, I, Mary Turner, am at the end of the spectrum. I am 49, unemployed, have three children (teenagers), my husband is disabled, and it is very difficult for me to make ends meet. I must ensure that my family survives on a budget of $200 per month on food, and if that means to go without food most of the time so that at least my children eat well, then so be it.
