Richard Stayskal is an American Veteran that is currently battling stage three lung cancer. While serving in the military, medics working for the military diagnosed his condition to be a mild form of Pneumonia. However, when Stayskal eventually visited a physician, he was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer, which is wildly different from Pneumonia. Concurrently, he is unable to take action against this doctor because of a document called the Feres doctrine. With this document in current law, I feel the U.S. Government has a monopoly on the healthcare system for people serving our country, and that it almost follows a doctrine that is socialist instead of democratic.
Due to this law, Stayskal is unable to hold the military doctors accountable in court. He is unable to file a case against these doctors serving him malpractice, yet he is in terminal condition due to the severity of this miscalculation. It is unacceptable for "professionals" to not be held responsible for their actions if they are not in line with what their profession holds. If someone brings their car in to get an inspection due to a knocking noise in their engine, and the mechanic fails to recognize that one of the firing pistons is blown out and instead says the fuel levels need to be changed, the mechanic sure as hell is going to get fired, and possibly sued for misinforming the customer. Likewise, doctors working under Government policy need to be held responsible for their failures, and not be protected by law to not be sued.
Stayskal is spending the rest of his time with his family, trying to enjoy life before it comes to an end. With a veteran like him being mistreated, it is imperative that this complaint against Government policy gets heard by the American public, and thus inspires a change from this law being one-sided to fair-sided.

Blog Stage 6: Critique of Classmate
https://whatsnewsamerica.blogspot.com/
Reading the blog stage five that my classmate here posted, I agree substantially with the idea that Trump and our current political era have caused problems and tensions to arise between fellow Americans in a way it has never been seen before. I completely agree that bringing up race and gender is uncalled for and unnecessary, especially during a period of LGBT activists. Also, I do think it is interesting to note that the ideas brought fourth by Trump were all mostly new ideas, but I think these new ideas have a more positive connotation than a negative one expressed by my classmate. Due to what is currently going on in our country with excessive illegal immigration, it makes sense for a politician to propose an idea such as building a wall. The wall seems daunting and not like how the United States was founded upon; however, we need to remember that there are laws for a reason, and that immigration needs to be managed somehow-maybe with a wall or maybe not. I strongly agree with the point made about the national government losing respect from its citizens. Every video of Congress or House meetings always seems to look like a circus. I do believe however, that the United States is still strongly a world power. The song "courtesy of the red, white and blue" by Toby Keith perfectly describes America's foundations, and what happens if those foundations are shifted around by an opposing force. All in all, I agree that the politics in the United States are at a torrid time and need some major sorting out.
